Anne Hathaway took a tumble while filming The Devil Wears Prada 2 this week, but she handled the incident with humor. The well-known actress shared the moment after slipping on set, embracing the mishap rather than letting it affect her.
Details of the Fall and Immediate Reaction
Paparazzi captured footage of Hathaway’s fall on Wednesday as she exited a building. While descending a few shallow steps, her shoe heel broke, causing her to lose balance and fall. Despite the mishap, Hathaway quickly recovered and reassured onlookers and crew members that she was unharmed.
Throwback to a Similar Slip Two Decades Ago
On the following day, Hathaway posted a video clip from her role as Mia Thermopolis in The Princess Diaries, showing her character slipping on a set of bleachers. She paired this with the new fall video using captions “How it started …” and “How it’s going.” In the post’s caption, she joked,
“Twenty years later, still falling for you”
—Anne Hathaway, Actress.
Real Fall or Possible Film Reference?
There is speculation that Hathaway’s recent fall might have been scripted as a clever nod to her earlier mishap in The Princess Diaries, given her acting skills and history. However, the onlooker-recorded footage shows genuine concern from the crew rushing to assist, and Hathaway herself did not confirm that the fall was staged.
History of Genuine On-Set Slip by Hathaway
It’s worth noting that Hathaway’s earlier fall while filming The Princess Diaries was authentic. She slipped during a scene but continued with professionalism and even encouraged her co-star Heather Matarazzo to proceed. The incident was kept in the final cut, marking a memorable moment from the movie.
Humorous Reminder That Even Stars Have Clumsy Moments
For now, it seems Hathaway, known affectionately as the Queen of Genovia, is not immune to occasional slips, showing that even renowned actors have their clumsy moments on set. This lighthearted approach to the fall highlights her ability to keep composure and stay grounded despite mishaps.
