Anne Hathaway says her doctor warned her ‘Hot Ones’ interview could cause early labor
Anne Hathaway’s career may be on fire, but her words won’t be any time soon if her doctor has anything to do with it.
The pregnant actress said her doctor told her she might give birth sooner if she did “Hot Ones,” during her press tour for Colleen Hoover’s film adaptation of “Verity.”
Hathaway revealed on an episode of the “Talk of the Townsends” podcast on Monday that she was advised against participating in the YouTube interview series, in which celebrities are asked questions as they eat increasingly hotter and spicy chicken wings.
“We did the first three wings for real, and then I moved on to the fake wings. And then I thought I might do the ‘Hot Ones’ challenge to do press for this movie because it just made sense,” Hathaway explained. “But then I got pregnant and my doctor told me I couldn’t do it because I might go into early labor.”
Hathaway made the comments during a press conference for the film, her fifth this year. The Oscar-winning actor has starred in some of this year’s biggest hits, including “The Devil Wears Prada 2” and “The Odyssey.”
“Hot Ones,” created by Sean Evans, has been on YouTube since 2015 and has hosted Hollywood stars including Jennifer Lawrence, Lorde and Keke Palmer. The series was spoofed twice on “Saturday Night Live.”
“I haven’t taken the challenge yet,” Hathaway said. “I don’t know when that will happen. Maybe next year.”
Hathaway is married to actor, producer and jewelry designer Adam Shulman. They have two young sons.
