Anne Hathaway says she's losing parts to 24-year-olds

Anne Hathaway says she's finally over the hill for Hollywood.

The star of upcoming movie "The Intern" tells Glamour U.K. that now, at 32, she's losing parts to younger women.

"I can't complain about it because I benefited from it," she explains. "When I was in my early twenties, parts would be written for women in their fifties and I would get them. And now I'm in my early thirties and I'm like, 'Why did that 24-year-old get that part?'"

She says she can't change the status quo, though: "I was that 24-year-old once, I can't be upset about it, it's the way things are."

Hathaway says at the same time, she's not discouraged and she's happy that she has established herself enough that she can be choosy about what roles she takes on.

"All I can do right now is think that thankfully you have built up perhaps a little bit of cachet and can tell stories that interest you and if people go to see them you'll be allowed to make more," says Hathaway.

For the record -- we still think she looks young.
