Two children wanted to meet, but shyness got the better of them. Neither could think of anything to talk about.
That’s when Anne Hathaway stepped in. The actress had a simple idea and asked the other child if he liked Messi. He said yes. Her son, who is also a fan of the Argentina national team captain, replied: “I love Messi”. From that moment on, she said, “they became best friends”.
The anecdote came to light during the promotion of Verity, the psychological thriller based on Colleen Hoover’s novel, in which Hathaway stars alongside Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett. According to her account, it wasn’t planned, but rather a spontaneous question.
Hathaway summed it up with a phrase: Messi “is a bridge to so many wonderful things”. Sometimes all it takes is one thing in common for two strangers to stop being strangers ⚽
