Annie are you okay?

[@HorrorPrincess]

She was hit by, she was struck by a smooth criminal

[@JohnSmith-nm4zd]

Anne Hathaway is also the name of Shakespeare's wife

[@shardulthanekar7046]

Her husband looks like Shakespeare

[@krysrock3274]

👁👄👁

[@iplayloud2]

True that?

[@danielordonez4308]

I THOUGHT SHE WAS GONNA SAY IT WAD BECAUSE OF THAT

[@larrissafrancois240]

@@iplayloud2 yes it is

[@iplayloud2]

Jimmy is learning to let guests talk!

[@JennNofficial]

Her name is beautiful

[@milesi1469]

You're right !

[@davej9716]

Awe.......touching

[@GirlieMadeMeDoIt]

Lol this is me with my first name too! Literally no one calls me by it unless I’m in trouble 😀😂

[@allison3852]

some people think there name is DUMB

[@dorotheah8955]

Jimmie Fallon looks like Ted Mosby😦

[@deebar5218]

This is the most nonsensical story I've seen all day.

[@isabellind1292]

I'm so glad Annie got to see Matt Lauer's career descend into flames after his interview w/her that proved him to be the perv he's cracked up to be. You go Annie!!!😊❤

[@miawallace2306]

Holy sh**! My name is Jillian and I feel the exact same way if anyone calls me that as opposed to “Jill.” When someone says “Jillian” my 1st response is to duck from my mother’s hand tryin to smack the back of head.

[@emmavenosdel]

all the people hating in the comments, if you don't like her and/or don't care, then why did you watch? let people be and stop spreading negativity

[@cyrillemiller8798]

Anne is a French name and it’s pronounced Ann. The way she wants us to say it should be spelled Annie. So yeah

[@isaverell8897]

Yeah in the netherlands anne is also common and u say it like annuh. Annie would work here too though hahaha

[@YukiKunikida]

Right

[@ems3599]

In portuguese Anne its something like "uh-ny" or "anny" so pronunciation is relative, Just go by what the owner kf the name says 😂😂😂

[@yoloswaggins1579]

Anne is common in Germanic countries too. Pronounced in various ways but never "Annie" Only english speakers would pronounce the e that way.

[@rayne95sato]

Awww I totally get it because when you just say Anne it doesn’t sound very well but Anne Hathaway together sounds great but you’re not gonna call her Anne Hathaway every time to her face. 😄 and she really doesn’t suit just Anne I think. Hey Annie!!

[@emilydegruise7970]

champagne problems😂 but I get it though, not that I’d ever get the opportunity to speak to her.

[@RealProphetofGod]

omg such big problems 🥱 this isn’t even news worthy

[@AnneKyfee]

I'm an Annie and I love when someone calls me Anne 😂

[@mm369]

Annie seems like a kid nickname Anne suits her better

[@duncan3998]

Then how come she doesn't change her name legally then? The fuck??

[@user-rm7wu7gk8w]

cus this is how you spell it lol

[@MegaMr46]

So the correct pronunciation The Who time is Ann-E?

[@milesfullofsmiles3373]

I so relate on the pizza idea 🙃

[@takesonetoknowone20003]

can someone explain how she hasn't age the past 20years

[@andrewcool4587]

Ppl drop the e. But why?

[@ania5038]

I've always had this dilemma too because my name is Anna but I prefer Ania but officially I still prefer my legal name because I like to reserve my nickname for people who actually know me...

[@jared8002]

Kind of reminds me of Korean. Anna is said like Ania

[@tomgreen8142]

dailybumps

[@ste.b.7400]

In Italy we'd call her Anna, double n, not Ana. Her last name would be Atauei according to how we perceive the english language. Anna Atauei 😄

[@allison3852]

SHE PLAYED THE WHITE QUEENN ON Alice WONDERFUL

[@allison3852]

ANNA

[@hopegodwinusman1845]

[@snkk3458]

[@tylerberryhill8029]

I wonder how she feels about her middle name

[@anne19777]

As an Anne, I also hate getting called as Ann, people has always addressed me as Annie ever since I was a child😂 The name sounds way too old

[@rodrigo7086]

Anne with an E

[@christianjoines9487]

[@JackKincaid..]

Are you on medication?

[@fitcv2752]

Annie Hathaway, come on, Anne Hathaway is great name, but if I saw her like in public or something, I would say hey it's Mrs. Hathaway. Maybe I shouldn't, probably go with her middle name if that's okay with her

[@windflower2141]

Ok but Anne Hathaway really sounds like a glamorous movie star name. She can go by Annie if she prefers

[@dilyyy7227]

Her name is Anne Hatheway. Also the name of Shakespeare's wife.Why her husband looks like SHAKESPEARE?? 😆

[@juliohernandez5230]

More of this shallow news please the world needs a break

[@jozseflaszlo6222]

Tudok kacsintani ballal szemmel meg jobbal yes smile I AM GENTLEMAN

[@hectorguerrero859]

She's so fucking beautiful dude 😭😭

[@shaziyatasleem4235]

Nice

[@gabbidurham]

Wait so her name is Annie, but she wants to be called Annie

[@rbdchick05]

No her legal name is Anne (pronounced Ann) so that's what she registered as her acting name with the acting guild as well but she's always been called Annie by her family/friends & prefers Annie.

[@kashh02]

Ok so is it anne or annie

[@JackKincaid..]

Anything for a little face time, right Anne? Forget all the troubles of the world. Let's all worry about how you like your name pronounced.

[@imane5819]

So basically her name is Anne ("Ann"), but she wants to be called "Annie". I always thought Anna & Anne> Annie tho.

[@dawnstudios7813]

Isn't Anne pronounced as "Ann", and "Annie" as "Annie". I'm from India, so don't know much about pronunciation of European names but I guess I'm a bit surprised with this.

[@guatagel2454]

Ok, we'll call her Anne, not Anne...

[@boo94_]

her fucking name is Anne! in all her movies they credit her as Anne.....should we call her Steeve?

[@nasimnejad7114]

😍

[@lashextensions1618]

So her name is Anne with an E

[@freeyoungspirit8436]

arianagrande

[@davej9716]

Omg its Annie not Ann l .....omg.....om....who on the planet gives a shat.....really?

[@JackKincaid..]

Exactly!!!!!!!!!!! Lol

[@iammysocial242]

My girls name is Ann and she loves it and herself. When you love yourself you love all of you. Hathaway seems a little odd and need more self-love in her life.

[@jeremiahjackson5253]

Girl bye! In the south Anne is "An" lol Annie is Annie.......ppl need to stop making a big deal over nothing! Who cares. They asked her what should she be called & she said "Anne" now its a big deal cause she's actually called "Anne" girl bye! Talk about the criminal Ex you was with acting like she didn't know anything about him being shady & a crook.....her ass left him in a heartbeat to save her career but she wasn't all that innocent like she tried to play! Lucky for her he was banned from ever coming back to the US! Always knew something shady was with her too🤔

[@samael5200]

Attention seeking

[@rick3747]

Does Anne stick work her thirst for protein on the deck of a yacht?

[@suzieq1218]

Annie is beautiful, Jimmy's toupee is not.
