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”.

Hathaway then revealed that nobody from her close ones calls her by the name Anne and that it's only her mother who uses it to address her when she is really mad at Anne. She says, “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. So every time I step out in public and someone calls my name, I think they're going to yell at me”.
