Anne Hathaway breaks silence over her name.
Anne (aka "Annie") Hathaway is a mega Hollywood star who has talent ranging from not only acting, but singing, runway styling, and carrying the 2011 Oscars with her awkward co-host James Franco. You know, the kind of talent any mother would hope for in her child. But at the end of the day, Hathaway is just like the rest of usโjust another girl subject to her mother's scolding.
During her interview with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, Hathaway reveals to the public that she has always preferred being called Annie. The two places that bear the name, Anne, are on her Screen Actors Guild card and her mother's lips when "she's really mad at me."
If you're a Richard, James, Rebecca, or Virginia, you understand "the nickname" plea ad nauseam. So, Annie, consider yourself in good company even as the rest of the world contemplates your request:
#AnneHathaway says she no longer wants to be called by her first name. Okay, fine. What do we use instead of "overrated?" ๐ pic.twitter.com/k7mRc6i6kK

If #AnneHathaway wants to be called anything other than "Anne," then I defer to the Key & Peele valets and will forever call her "Annie Hathaways."https://t.co/cTFlab9mwl

Wait. The #AnneHathaway has me like hold up. Iโm over here thinking Anne is just another way to pronounce Annie because why the hell would you add an E to say Ann? Ann is Ann. Itโs a really straight forward name. Is the E just decorative? Iโm so confused. ๐ซ๐ pic.twitter.com/mG3OexAFAY
