Anne Hathaway Dismisses Pop Career Rumors, Reaffirms Acting Roots

Anne Hathaway, the Oscar-winning actress, has made it clear that her future lies in acting, despite portraying a global music icon in her latest film, 'Mother Mary.' At a special screening in New York City on April 13, Hathaway emphasized she has no plans to abandon acting for a singing career.

In 'Mother Mary,' Hathaway takes on the persona of a returning music sensation, acting alongside Michaela Coel. While discussing with People magazine, she expressed skepticism about ever becoming a pop star. The film delves into the challenges her character faces when reconnecting with her past costume designer, Sam Anselm.

Preparing for the role, Hathaway immersed herself in pop music, receiving guidance from artist Charli XCX and choreographer Dani Vitale. This experience, she stated, highlighted the resilience and charm of pop stars, but confirmed her preference for acting, where she shares stories through a creative lens.

Beyond her current role, Hathaway is set to reprise her iconic role in 'The Devil Wears Prada 2,' joining the original star-studded cast, including Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci. Reflecting on the first film, she fondly recalled the camaraderie and praises her co-stars for their incredible talent.

'Mother Mary' is presently showing in theaters, with 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' set for a May 1 release date, further cementing Hathaway's place in the acting world. (ANI)
