Hathaway & tucci trade culinary barbs in vogue’s off the cuff
Anne Hathaway and Stanley Tucci are trading witty insults—and pasta preferences—in a delightfully unexpected Vogue Off the Cuff interview. Fans of The Devil Wears Prada have been clamoring for a reunion, and it seems the stars have delivered, offering a glimpse into their dynamic that’s as charming as it is delightfully competitive.
A negroni & linguine revelation
The conversation, hosted by Gabrielle Reich, quickly veered into culinary territory, fueled by Tucci’s extensive background in food and beverage. Hathaway, surprisingly, declared Tucci’s cocktail equivalent a “very elevated negroni,” while he countered with a somewhat baffling assessment of her pasta choice: “Linguine. You love me!” – a response met with a knowing “Sure” from Tucci.
But the playful banter didn't stop there. The pair delved into the notoriously difficult subject of color, debating the precise shade of cerulean blue with a level of detail bordering on obsessive. Tucci revealed a surprisingly poignant anecdote about the passing of his children’s guinea pigs, a story that, while unexpected, added a layer of genuine warmth to the exchange. Hathaway, meanwhile, recounted a belated attempt to correct a minor factual error on her Wikipedia page—a testament to her meticulous nature.
A meeting of minds (and memories)
The interview culminated with a nostalgic trip back to their initial meeting, a detail that proved surprisingly hazy for the veteran actor. “Annie, I’m old now!” Tucci quipped, a touch of self-deprecating humor reflecting his decades in the industry. Despite the slightly fragmented recollection, the chemistry between the two actors was undeniable, a testament to a relationship forged through years of shared screen time and, apparently, a penchant for playful sparring.
