Anne Hathaway, Hollywood’s renowned star, made headlines recently with her enthusiastic support of Arsenal, her favorite football team. Following Arsenal’s impressive 3-0 triumph over Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League on April 8, Hathaway expressed her excitement by singing the team’s anthem, “The Angel,” in a video shared on her Instagram Stories. Draped in the team’s jersey, her radiant smile and melodic voice captured the hearts of fans, yet it was a minor lyric slip that truly grabbed attention.
Throughout her rendition of the anthem, also known as North London Forever and penned by loyal Arsenal supporter Louis Dunford in 2022, Hathaway effortlessly delivered the song with passion. However, astute fans quickly recognized a small error; she sang, “These streets are our home,” rather than the lyric “These streets are our own.” This lyrical nuance sparked a flurry of activity on social media, with some fans playfully pointing out the mistake and others simply praising Hathaway for her ongoing support and vocal talents.
During this vibrant sharing, an unexpected moment added extra charm when Hathaway briefly paused in her song after a notification interrupted her. Embracing the moment, she enthusiastically highlighted Declan Rice, the Arsenal star whose two goals were pivotal in securing the victory. In her glowing tribute, she exclaimed, “Declan is the man of the game,” further congratulating the team with infectious energy: “Congratulations lads, especially Rice, especially Merino, especially Rice again!”
Anne Hathaway’s longstanding adoration for Arsenal was first unveiled to fans in April 2024, notably when she celebrated a goal by Leandro Trossard during an interview, a display that moved the Belgian footballer to send a personal video message, leaving Hathaway deeply touched. This connection with the club continues to strengthen her bond with fans who appreciate her heartfelt support.
On the professional front, Anne Hathaway has been busy, last gracing screens alongside Nicholas Galitzine in the romantic comedy “The Idea of You.” Looking ahead, she has an exciting array of projects coming up, notably the psychological romance thriller “Verity,” based on Colleen Hoover’s novel. Sharing on Instagram, Hathaway revealed that filming is completed, with anticipation building for its release in May 2026, alongside co-stars Josh Hartnett and Dakota Johnson.
