Anne Hathaway has officially made good on her promise to disappear - quite literally. After a year packed with major films, red carpets and back-to-back promotional commitments, the Oscar-winning actor has stepped away from the spotlight with a rather theatrical exit. Hathaway announced her “disappearance” through a playful Instagram video, which arrived shortly after the release of her latest film, Verity.

Anne Hathaway keeps her promise to disappear

In the clip, recorded ahead of the film’s September 29 premiere, Hathaway begins by talking about heading to the Verity premiere and its October 2 release. She then mentions October 3, only for a dramatic animated cloud of smoke to cover the screen and make her vanish.
