Oh, how we love awkward interviews with David Letterman!

Last night, Dave took a break from heckling McCain to ask Anne Hathaway about that ex-boyfriend of hers. You know, the dreamy one who recently pleaded guilty to federal charges of wire fraud, money laundering and conspiracy and was especially skilled at lying to Catholic Church officials...what a catch!

Dave asked her the hard things like “Did you have any hints there was a problem?” and “Is he in jail now?” And we gotta say, Anne impressed us. Rather than getting all pissy like Paris Hilton, she just awkwardly laughed along with him and gave sincere answers while trying to get back to the movie she was promoting—Rachel Getting Married.

So give the clip a go and see how many times you cringe for the poor girl. Guess this is just the kind of stuff you have to deal with when you're a smokin’ hot movie star with a felon for an ex.
