Pregnant Anne Hathaway Skips Hot Ones Challenge on Doctor's Advice
Anonymous
Anne Hathaway says she had hoped to take on the real Hot Ones challenge while promoting Verity, but her doctor advised against it during her pregnancy because it could trigger early labor. In the film, her character, Verity Crawford, appears on a fictional Hot Ones-style segment; Hathaway ate the first three wings for real before switching to prop wings. Hathaway said she suggested adding the interview to help establish Verity as a prominent cultural figure, and she may attempt the challenge in the future.

The film’s story centers on struggling writer Lowen Ashleigh, played by Dakota Johnson, being hired to finish Verity Crawford’s unpublished book after Crawford is paralyzed in an accident.
3
Hathaway described the fictional interview sequence as a “triple crown trifecta” for Verity’s public profile, pairing the scripted Call Her Daddy appearance with the proposed Gayle King interview and Hot Ones segment.
4
The real Hot Ones format involves celebrities eating 10 wings coated in sauces that become progressively hotter.
