Anne Hathaway is the internet’s newest“red carpet traffic cop,”and she’s the first to laugh about it. A viral clip from the“Verity”premiere shows her counting to ten and directing photographers on where she and her co-stars would look. She described the moment as“mom mode by way of chorus line.”Dakota Johnson had the best response in the room:“And then I’m gonna leave.”
Hathaway addressed the whole thing on“The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,”explaining she was trying to help as the photographers grew frustrated. Her first thought afterward was“Oh, no.”Her apology was pitch perfect:“I apologize everybody. That girl came out to play last night. Actually, she didn’t come to play. She came for business.”She also opened up about pregnancy number three, from acne to a supercharged sense of smell.
The internet has been split ever since. Some say she was just keeping the energy moving, others say red carpets are not group projects. Either way, she handled the aftermath with humor and honesty, which is more than most of us manage when we go full mom mode in public.
Would you want Anne Hathaway running your next photo op, or is the red carpet better left to the pros? Let us know in the comments.
