Days after addressing her epic fall on set Anne Hathaway has found herself in a different dramatic incident.
The 42-year-old Oscar winner found herself intervening between to bickering photographers on the New York City set of The Devil Wears Prada 2 over the weekend.
A video which has been circulating around social media showed Anne as she sternly said: ‘You guys have got to relax. You guys have got to relax. There are children on set today. Does everyone know that there are children on set?
‘So everyone is going to relax, and we’re going to have a very nice day because we have children here. Thank you.’
Anne finished up the interaction by smiling and turning around to film more as she knew that she did all that she could to keep the young performers safe on set.
The video was captioned by user Des on Storyful: ‘Anne Hathaway Confronts Paparazzi on “Devil Wears Prada 2” set.’
Just days ago Anne had a bit of a scare as she was snapped in New York City on Wednesday as she tripped down the front stoop of a building, her left leg bent awkwardly as she hit the ground.
After the incident went viral, she showed off her trademark humor after taking an unforgettable tumble while filming the highly anticipated sequel.
At first, fans weren’t sure if it was a scripted stunt or a real slip, but Hathaway seemingly confirmed it was the latter when she shared the moment on Instagram the next day — pairing it with a throwback clip of another famous mishap.
The video showed her falling in the 2001 hit The Princess Diaries, where she toppled down the high school bleachers.
That fall wasn’t scripted either, but director Garry Marshall loved it so much he kept it in the movie.
With the caption, ‘Twenty years later, still falling for you,’ Hathaway proved she can take a spill and laugh about it with the best of them.
The superstar also reflected on her Princess Diaries stumble during a 2020 tribute to the late director Marshall, who passed away in 2016 at the age of 81.
Hathaway revealed that Marshall loved including improvised or accidental moments in his films, recalling how one unplanned bit with co-star Heather Matarazzo ended up in the trailer for The Princess Diaries.
The scene was filmed on bleachers at a San Francisco campus sports field, and after rain delays, the crew was rushing to finish before the light disappeared.
Marshall instructed Hathaway and Matarazzo to stand on different levels of the bleachers and walk past each other while delivering their lines.
‘I guess one take, Heather had a lot of energy so she was moving faster and I mis-timed it,’ Hathaway recalled.
‘I realized that we were going to be on the same step so I turned really fast and slipped on a puddle and just… I mean I just fell, just absolutely fell… and burst out laughing and kept going with the scene.’
Hathaway added, ‘Never thought about it again and all of a sudden, like six months later, it’s in the trailer.’
‘He kept it. He kept it because it was a charming moment,’ she explained.
Meanwhile, Hathaway isn’t the only familiar face returning to the Devil Wears Prada universe.
Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci, and Emily Blunt have all been spotted filming scenes in New York, bringing back the magic fans loved in the first film.
New additions to the cast are also turning heads.
Kenneth Branagh plays Miranda’s new husband, while Australian heartthrob Patrick Brammall has been cast as Andy’s latest romantic interest.
Hathaway and Brammall were spotted filming a few sweet moments last week as they strolled through the crowded streets of Brooklyn as the sun set in the distance.
At one point, the actor placed his arms around the beauty as they fell into an embrace while standing outside of a restaurant.
Hathaway also flashed a big smile on her face as Brammall twirled her around in circles.
In the 2006 movie, Adrian Grenier had played her character’s boyfriend Nate – but the actor is notably not returning to the second movie.
Grenier’s character has since divided fans, with some labeling him as an unsupportive boyfriend over her journalism career.
The Entourage actor previously discussed his role in the first movie while talking to Entertainment Weekly in 2021.
‘I didn’t see some of the subtleties and the nuance of this character and what it represented in the film until the wisdom of the masses came online and started to push against the character and throw him under the bus, and I got flak.
‘All those memes that came out were shocking to me,’ he added, referencing to how fans had called Nate ‘the villain’ of the film.
‘It hadn’t occurred to me until I started to really think about it, and perhaps it was because I was as immature as Nate was at the time. And in many ways he’s very selfish and self-involved.’
Adrian continued, ‘It was all about him; he wasn’t extending himself to support Andy in her career.’
Timothée Chalamet’s sister Pauline and The Office star BJ Novak have also been seen on set, alongside YouTube personality Amelia Dimoldenberg, known for Chicken Shop Date.
David Frankel – who directed the first 2006 movie – is returning as director on the sequel as well.
The Devil Wears Prada was a critical success and raked in $326.7 million in the box office on a budget of around $35-$41 million.
It also garnered two Oscar nominations, such as Best Actress for Meryl Streep. Other nods included five BAFTAs and three Golden Globes – with Meryl winning for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy.
Although Lauren Weisberger penned a follow-up novel, Revenge Wears Prada, the upcoming movie reportedly takes a different direction from the book.
The film finds Miranda navigating the shifting world of Runway as print magazines give way to the digital age.
