Princess of Genovia casually says InshaAllah in interview
Hollywood actress Anne Hathaway has caught the internet's attention after seamlessly using the phrase "Inshallah" during a recent video interview with People magazine.
While discussing her hopes for the future, the star remarked, "I want to live a long, healthy life — Inshallah, I hope so." The unexpected use of the Arabic phrase, which translates to "if God wills," quickly went viral across platforms like X. Social media users expressed surprise, with many praising her accurate pronunciation and appropriate contextual placement.
The viral clip arrives as cultural expressions increasingly spark mainstream conversations online, following similar chatter over a recent Sesame Street clip featuring Elmo saying "Asalamalaikum".\
Beyond the brief linguistic crossover, Hathaway's interview offered candid reflections on navigating her 40s. She shared that age has allowed her to step back, assess past decisions, and learn to value staying calm, or as she described it, appreciating "the chill."
Offering a grounded perspective on getting older, she noted that people can either "fear aging, or fear dying young." The actress added that she embraces this current stage of life with curiosity, accepting that the uncertainty of what comes next remains a constant at any age.
