Anne Hathaway no longer wants to be called by the name that everyone knows her.
The “Oceans 8” actress said this in Tuesday night’s episode of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”, where she told the comedian that hearing “Anne” from someone other than her mother makes her a little uneasy.
“The only person who calls me Anne is my mother, and she only does that when she’s really mad at me, really mad,” the Oscar-winning actress told the dawn host. “So, every time I go out in public and someone calls my name, I think they are going to yell at me. People are like, ‘Anne!’ And I’m like, ‘What? What did I do?’ “
Although Hathaway’s first name is Anne, “Devil Wears Prada” said that when she worked on some film projects, other stars and the like fulfilled her wishes and avoided calling Hathaway by her birth name.
