Anne Hathaway has been making headlines recently, as a video of the forty-three-year-old taking charge of the Verity cast photo at the NYC premiere went viral on social media. Fans were quick to react, with one user capturing the moment perfectly.

"Anne took over that red carpet like the photographer clocked out early and she said I got this. She ran that whole Verity lineup like a wedding planner on overtime. The bump did not slow her down one bit she was still calling every shot in the room," shared the fan.
"Anne really said, 'Let me handle this,'" shared another user.

The buzz around Hathaway comes as the actress has also been showing off her baby bump in style. She previously wore a custom Atelier Prabal Gurung sculptural halterneck top with a cascading light blue silk Mikado train and crimson lining, paired with baggy low-rise jeans and red and pink stiletto pumps from Aquazzura, at the world premiere of The End of Oak Street in Los Angeles. Hathaway announced her third pregnancy, with husband Adam Shulman, via Instagram on June 19. The couple also share sons Jonathan, ten, and Jack, six.

In a chat with People at the The End of Oak Street premiere, Hathaway opened up about how pregnancy feels different now that she is in her forties.

"You know, I was in my 30s with my other two, and I'm so different now," she shared.

Anne Hathaway explains why she could not complete the Hot Ones challenge during Verity press tour:

Anne Hathaway's pregnancy has been making its presence felt throughout the Verity press tour, and not just on the red carpet. The Interstellar actress recently revealed on the Talk of the Townsends podcast that her doctor had put his foot down on one particular press stop.

Hot Ones, the wildly popular Sean Evans-hosted series where celebrities field questions between bites of increasingly spicy chicken wings, was actually supposed to be part of Hathaway's press run for the film. It made sense given that the show features in Verity itself.

"But then I got pregnant, and my doctor said I couldn't do it because I might go into early labor. So I still haven't done the gauntlet yet. I'm not sure when that's gonna happen. Maybe next year," shared Hathaway.

The actress had also been doing the rounds with co-stars Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett for the film's press tour, which has included solo podcast appearances and joint on-camera interviews. Anne Hathaway had previously filmed a Hot Ones episode in character as Verity Crawford for the film.

"We did the first three wings for real, and then I switched to dummy wings. And then I thought that I was gonna be able to do the 'Hot Ones' challenge to do press for this film because it just made sense," she explained.

Anne Hathaway jokes about disappearing after Verity release as she prepares to wrap up a busy 2026:

Verity marks quite the milestone for Anne Hathaway in 2026. As per a report shared by Variety, the film is her fifth and final press tour of the year, following Mother Mary, The Devil Wears Prada 2, The Odyssey and The End of Oak Street. She has traveled the globe and appeared on dozens of red carpets throughout, doing all of it while pregnant. Hathaway was candid with Entertainment Tonight about what comes next once Verity is out in the world.

"The movie releases on October 2nd. And on October 3rd, I'm going to vanish in a plume of smoke and you're not going to see me until you have to," she quipped.

The actress does have plans to return in front of the camera. She is set to film Days of Thunder 2 alongside Tom Cruise in March 2027, after taking a few months off following what has been a relentless year. That being said, for now, Hathaway appears more than ready to step back, catch her breath and welcome her third child.

In Verity, Anne Hathaway plays Verity Crawford, a bestselling author of a grisly crime series who is left suddenly incapacitated following a mysterious accident. As per the film's synopsis, that is where struggling writer Lowen Ashleigh, played by Dakota Johnson, enters the picture. Verity hires Lowen to complete her latest book, a situation which leads Lowen to move into the Crawford home for convenience. Things take a complicated turn from there.
