Hathaway & tucci trade culinary barbs in vogue off the cuff
Anne Hathaway and Stanley Tucci are trading recipes and roasting each other with delightfully sharp wit in a new Vogue Off the Cuff segment, offering a surprisingly intimate glimpse into their dynamic.
A negroni and linguine: the unexpected origin of their banter
The anticipation surrounding a potential ‘Devil Wears Prada 2’ reunion has finally materialized, and it’s proving to be far more flavorful than anyone imagined. Beyond the confirmed appearance of Andy and Nigel, the pair recently engaged in a playful grilling session with Vogue, revealing a surprisingly competitive rapport – and some delightfully specific preferences.
The conversation quickly veered into culinary territory, as expected, given Tucci’s background in food and beverage. Hathaway playfully suggested he’d be “a very elevated negroni,” while Tucci countered with the assessment that Hathaway’s inherent style best embodied the pasta shape linguine – a declaration she met with a resounding ‘You love me!’
From guinea pig grief to wikipedia woes
But the exchange wasn’t solely about cocktails and pasta. Tucci, a surprisingly gifted storyteller, launched into a detailed, somewhat melancholic anecdote about the untimely demise of his children’s guinea pigs, a detail entirely unprompted. Hathaway, meanwhile, recounted a humbling experience correcting a Wikipedia entry – a stark reminder that even celebrities aren’t immune to the digital age’s imperfections.
The conversation meandered, revisiting their initial meeting – a memory, according to Tucci, clouded by the passage of time (“Annie, I’m old now!”). Despite Tucci’s hazy recollection, the evident chemistry between the two performers is undeniable. The segment, directed by Gabrielle Reich and boasting a stellar crew – including cinematographer Kevin Spence – is a testament to their genuine connection.
A partnership forged in shared wit
The production, overseen by a meticulous team including Bety Dereje and Lea Donenberg, feels less like a staged interview and more like a genuine exchange. It's a refreshing departure from the often-stilted nature of celebrity profiles, offering a rare peek behind the curtain of a respected and undeniably charming duo. This isn't just a reunion; it's a testament to the enduring power of wit and a surprisingly delicious glimpse into their creative process.
