Each time Anne Hathaway appears at the premiere of a film and people shout her name, she has flashbacks from her childhood.
“The only person who calls me Anne is my mother, and she only does it when she is really mad at me, really mad,” said the Oscar-winning actress in Tuesday’s episode The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. “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?'”
Hathaway’s real name is Anne, but this is not the nickname she uses in her off-screen life, where she is the wife of Adam Shulman and the mother of children Jonathan, 4, and 1 year old Jack.
When she worked in films, how Ocean’s 8, The devil Wears Prada and Brokeback mountain, the cast and crew should avoid calling it by its first legal name.

It does not fit. I’m an Annie, ”said Hathaway, apparently referring to her name. “People call me ‘Miss. H ‘, people call me’ Hath ‘, so feel free, call me anything but Anne.

So that seemed like the right choice, but it never occurred to me that for the rest of my life, people will call me Anne. “
Hathaway won his first big break, a leading role in the short 1999 series Get real, when she was still a teenager. In 2001, she played one of her most famous roles, Mia Thermopolis in Princess’ diary. She was nominated for an Oscar for the first time in 2009 for the drama Rachel getting married.
