Anne Hathaway took to social media to share a witty clap back for the "Tonight Show" audience after an awkward interview moment regarding her latest movie, "The Idea of You."
The actress boasted on her Instagram Story about the Robinne Lee-authored romance book becoming a No. 1 best seller following her appearance on the show with host Jimmy Fallon.
After Hathaway asked the audience if they had read Lee's novel during the interview, she was met with silence, to which Fallon jokingly responded, "No, we don’t read. This is 'The Tonight Show.' You want to go to Stephen Colbert if you want to get people to read books. Lame!"
Playing into Fallon's joke, Hathaway added, "What’s a book?" as she covered her face with her hands in embarrassment.
Despite the awkward moment, Hathaway was praised for her grace in handling the situation "like a pro."
Last month, Hathaway embarked on her press tour to promote "The Idea of You," which premiered worldwide on May 2. The film, also starring Nicholas Galitzine, is available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
In a recent interview with the New York Times, Hathaway opened up about her personal life and career, revealing she was five years sober and recalling having to make out with 10 different guys for chemistry tests in the early 2000s.
