It’s been 15 years since she shot to fame as the geeky princess Mia Thermopolis – and Anne Hathaway has paid the perfect tribute to The Princess Diaries as it celebrates its anniversary.
The 2001 Garry Marshall movie catapulted Anne to fame as her first movie role, seeing her play the shy Mia who discovers she is a real-life princess in Genovia in Europe alongside her estranged grandmother, Queen Clarisse Renaldi, played by Julie Andrews.
And to mark the film’s 15th birthday this week on her Instagram page, she posted a gif of a classic scene from the film in which Mia is being taught how to dance by Joe (Hector Elizondo).
Alongside the clip she wrote: ‘It’s been 15 years (say it with me). SHUT UP!!!!! To all the fans who have loved Mia, Louie, Lily, Joe, Michael and, of course, Queen Clarisse, thank you from the bottom of my heart!
