Anne Hathaway Is Psyched: A History of Red Carpet Enthusiasm
Anne Hathaway has been a red carpet fixture since 2001’s The Princess Diaries. Since then, she’s gone from teen queen to legit movie star, picking up an Oscar nomination (and hosting gig) along the way. But one thing has not changed: how totally and completely psyched she is to be at a premiere. The paparazzi and her producers must love her, because Anne Hathaway is the most psyched person ever when it comes to red carpet photos, no matter how good or bad the movie. Here’s the proof!
Here she is in 2001, with Mandy Moore at a Princess Diaries premiere. She looks pretty pumped!
