Anne Hathaway has shrugged off the incident when paparazzi saw more than she had intended to show them, while she was getting out of a car at the Monday premiere of Les Miserables. “I found out [about the pictures] just as I came in,” the New York Post quoted her as telling a sympathetic guests at a Four Seasons restaurant luncheon for the film.

“And I just thought, ‘OK, where’s the comedy?’”

“It has hit. It has landed. A bomb has gone off. I think what I am going to do is whatever my next appearance is . . . I’m going to step out of the car in a blanket. You’ve got to laugh at it,” she said.

Undaunted, Hathaway performed a pitch-perfect rendition of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas with Hugh Jackman, Eddie Redmayne, Amanda Seyfried and Samantha Barks.
