Anne Hathaway Hates Her Own Name: ‘Call me anything but Anne’
Anne Hathaway dislikes one aspect of herself: her name.
The Oscar winner, 38, appeared on Tuesday’s episode of The Tonight Show, where presenter Jimmy Fallon mentioned that Hathaway’s close friends refer to her as “Annie.”
“Call me Annie,” she said. “Everybody, call me Annie, please. Can we talk about my name for a second?”
Hathaway claims she despises the name Anne, but she was stuck with it when she was compelled to adopt a professional name at the age of 14.
“When I was 14 years old, I did a commercial, and I had to get my SAG card and they asked me, ‘What do you want your name to be?'” she said. “And I was like, ‘Well, it should be my name. My name’s Anne Hathaway.’ 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.”
Trending:
“The only person who calls me Anne is my mother and she only does it when she’s really mad at me, like really mad,” the Locked Down actor said. “So every time I step out in public and someone calls my name, I think they’re going to yell at me. People are like, ‘Anne!’ And I’m like, ‘What? What did I do?’”
Hathaway maintains that no one in Hollywood refers to her as Anne. “People are so lovely; they don’t want to be presumptuous, and so I think they come up with workarounds on set,” she said. “Because the truth is nobody’s comfortable with calling me Anne ever. It doesn’t fit. I’m an Annie.”
“People call me H, people call me Hath, so feel free, call me anything but Anne.”
Hathaway also said that Leonardo DiCaprio was her first celebrity crush.
“He was on that show for a while… Who’s the Boss? No, Growing Pains!” she recalled. “I don’t remember, I just remember being like, ‘Hi! Who’s that?!'”
The Brooklyn-born actress rose to fame with parts in “The Princess Diaries” and “The Devil Wears Prada,” and went on to star in “The Dark Knight Rises,” “Les Miserables,” “Ocean’s 8” and “The Witches,” among others.
She’ll be seen in HBO Max’s “Locked Down,” which premieres on Thursday.
