Anne and Julia sure look Pretty similar...
WITH her thigh-high boots and s hock of bl onde hai r, Anne Hathaway appears to be followi ng i n Julia Roberts’s patent leather footsteps.
But while Pretty Woman’s Vivian Ward fell in love with her wealthy client, played by Richard Gere, it seems unlikely there will be a fairytale ending in Oscarwinner Anne’s latest project.
Hathaway, 38, was pictured filming the upcoming AppleTV+ series WeCrashed, based on the ‘greed-filled’ rise and fall of startup company WeWork. Once one of the world’s most valuable startups, the firm last month posted a $2.1 billion (£1.49 billion) loss.
She stars as Rebekah, the wife of co-founder Adam Neumann – played by Jared Leto – who was forced out in 2019 following allegations of erratic behaviour with a $1.7 billion (£1.2 billion) pay-off.
Les Miserables star Anne took to the streets of New York on Friday wearing a red mini skirt and sequined top underneath a leopard-print fur coat.
Her character’s face was covered in blood and one image showed her lying on top of a smashed vehicle, suggesting she had fallen to her death.
In real life, brunette Rebekah Neumann, a cousin of Gwyneth Paltrow, is still alive and until 2019 worked as the company’s chief brand and impact officer.
But a decade ago, she acted under the name Rebekah Keith and appeared in crime film Fair Game – which appear to be the scenes Hathaway was filming.
In a book about WeWork, former employees claimed Mr Neumann would play loud music, arrange meetings for 2am and demand cases of expensive tequila be present at every office he visited.
