TV
- Anne Hathaway bursts into tears after being surprised by her idol
RuPaul
Shantay
you stay, Anne Hathaway
During
an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen
Colbert, the Oscar-winning actress and star of
The Hustle was asked by host Stephen what TV shows
she enjoys watching as “comfort food” to make
herself feel better.
After
naming Game of Thrones and Killing Eve,
which aren’t exactly cheerful, she added: “You
know what, there is a show that I do watch to make
me feel better: Drag Race. Oh my god, I love that
show so much!”
“Have
you met RuPaul?” Stephen asked. “He’s my
guest tomorrow night, would you like me to send a
message to him? Is there anything you’d like to
say to him?”
Replying
that she wouldn’t know what to say except that
she “loves” him, Stephen teased, “Well why
don’t you just say it to him right now,”
before bringing the drag superstar out onto the
stage to join them.
The
two icons embraced and shared compliments – and
a few tears – before Anne revealed her favourite
moment from Drag Race herstory.
“Monet
X Change’s entire journey, and how amazing she
was in season 10 – I really take this very
seriously – and the growth between season 10 and
season 11 and the way she stepped her pussy up,”
she gushed.
“Because
I feel like since I started being an actress, I’ve
learned how to step my pussy up, and I’m just
thrilled for her, and me, and you. Thank you.”
