Anne Hathaway makes rare appearance in Connecticut

Anne Hathaway has been keeping a low profile in Connecticut during the lockdown from the coronavirus.

But the Oscar-winning actress was seen on Thursday as she headed to the beach alone in a long white shirt.

The 37-year-old cover girl flashed her toned legs as she was dressed casually while tugging a woven bag on wheels that was stuffed with towels and a beach ball.

At ease: Anne Hathaway has been keeping a low profile in Connecticut during the lockdown from the coronavirus. But the Oscar-winning actress was seen on Thursday as she headed to the beach alone in a long white shirt

The performer had on red framed sunglasses with gold Birkenstock sandals. The former child star’s head was down and she did not have a mask on.

Her husband Adam Shulman was not seen and neither were her sons Jack, aged eight months, and Jonathan, aged four.

In Connecticut, outdoor exercises, including running, biking, hiking, or walking, are still considered safe activities. But crowds are not allowed and people have to stay six feet away from others.  Several beaches are open including Stamford and Fairfield.

The star has been keeping a very low profile she welcomed her second son eight months ago. Her last public sighting was in May. 

It’s been 16 years since the last Princess Diaries movie, and Julie Andrews said in April she wants to see a third one quite soon.

The 84-year-old actress appeared on The Talk, where she said that she probably would make a third movie.

‘It’s long been talked about but nothing sort of been on my desk or anything like that,’ she said. ‘I think I would [do it]. I’m getting awfully old and crotchety.’

Andrews played Queen Clarisse Renaldi, the ruler of Genovia in The Princess Diaries, with Anne Hathaway playing her granddaughter, Princess Mia Thermopolis.

The first movie followed the Queen as she groomed the princess to rule the land of Genovia, and it was a surprise hit, earning $108.2 million domestic and $165.3 million worldwide from just a $26 million budget.

Andrews and Hathaway reunited for the 2004 sequel The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, as Mia prepared for marriage to an English suitor (Chris Pine).

The sequel fared well at the box office as well, though it slipped a bit from its predecessor, earning $95.1 million domestic and $137.4 million worldwide from a $40 million budget.

Awfully old: ‘It’s long been talked about but nothing sort of been on my desk or anything like that,’ she said. ‘I think I would [do it]. I’m getting awfully old and crotchety’

Andrews added on The Talk, ‘I’m not sure if it’s the right timing, but I think to work with Annie [Hathaway] would be lovely again.’

‘And yeah, sure I would be up for it. I think we should wait if the script comes in just wait for that,’ Andrews added.

Garry Marshall, who passed away in 2016, directed both movies, with Gina Wendkos (Coyote Ugly) writing the first movie and Shonda Rhimes writing the sequel, just a year before her hit series Grey’s Anatomy debuted on ABC.

Andrews has expressed interest in another Princess Diaries movie throughout the years, telling Entertainment Tonight in 2019 she would love to be in a sequel, ‘if Anne would like me to be.’

Hathaway even revealed on Watch What Happens Live in January 2019 that there is a script for the third movie in place.

‘There is a script for the third movie. I want to do it. Julie wants to do it. Debra Martin Chase, our producer, wants to do it,’ Hathaway said at the time.

Andrews also opened up about spending an extended amount of time in quarantine and how to stay sane. 

‘Remember the love…Remember to be patient and kind. And we’re all frightened, everybody is scared and not sure when you can’t control something…so we’re all in it together, but I think because we’re all in it together, it means that we should respond to what we’re being asked to do,’ she shared.

Hathaway will soon be adding yet another credit to her repertoire – the film version of American-French New York Times International writer Pamela Druckerman’s artfully titled autobiography, French Children Don’t Throw Food.
