The Hollywood actress said: “I can’t take pictures with everyone. But I will stand here and wave if you want to take pictures of me. I can’t sign autographs for you guys, there are too many people. I’m so sorry. But I still want you to have some memories, so if you want, I will stand here and wave for you to take pictures of me. Thank you for your understanding.”

The actress further explained to her fans that she couldn’t take pictures with just one fan, because she didn’t have enough time to take pictures with each fan in the group.

This clip suddenly spread again on social networks and sparked a debate in the online community about the behavior of actress Anne Hathaway. Many fans believe that Anne’s behavior at first makes people think that she is very polite, but in fact, she behaves tactlessly and does not really respect her fans.

Some opinions say that if she was really in a hurry, she could just wave to the group of fans and get in the car. But the fact that she stopped to explain for a while but still did not take a souvenir photo or sign an autograph for a fan due to… lack of time, made many people feel unconvinced.

Fans completely understand that if Anne does not have enough time to take pictures and sign autographs for each fan, her quick interaction with some fans is enough to make the fan group have beautiful memories.

The fact that Anne stood in one place giving “long” explanations and still did not take commemorative photos or sign autographs for the fan group made many people think that she was actually lacking in courtesy and did not appreciate the love of her fans. “This behavior is rude, a type of fake politeness,” one netizen commented.

However, there are also people who believe that Anne does not have the responsibility to interact enthusiastically with fans at all times. There are opinions that the actress has tried to interact moderately and gently with fans. Anne could have quickly gotten in the car and left, but she stopped to explain slowly, hoping to receive understanding, which was respectful and polite behavior.
