The Oscar winner took a look at some of her most famous movie roles in a video for 'Vanity Fair'—and got emotional watching scenes from the film that put her on the map.

Before she was an Oscar-winning actress, she was just Mia Thermopolis (well, turned princess), and in a new video with Vanity Fair, Anne Hathaway emotionally relived "the film that changed [her] life."

In 2001, Hathaway rocketed to fame when she starred alongside Julie Andrews and Garry Marshall as awkward teen-turned-heir to the throne of Genovia in The Princess Diaries.


As part of her cover story for the April issue of Vanity Fair, the actor rewatched clips from some of her classics, such as The Devil Wears Prada, Les Mis and The Dark Knight Rises.

But when scenes from The Princess Diaries began to play, Hathaway became a bit emotional.

Pausing the clip, she commented on how "radiant" Julie Andrews looked and then shared:

“I was 17 years old when we made this, and so I hadn't met as many people yet in my life.”
“So I knew Garry Marshall was really special and I knew Julie Andrews was really special. But now sitting here watching this from this point of view, they're two of the most magical people I have ever met.”

She continued:

"This was the film that changed my life. Like, it's so weird to watch it."

The actor revealed it had been "maybe 20 years" since she had seen the movie, and while fighting tears, she continued:

"I'm a bit speechless with this one."
"Actually, it's very emotional to see it."

Watching Hathaway get emotional reliving her Princess Diaries moment had viewers in tears, as well.






Many also appreciated that Hathaway recognized that the film launched her lengthy and successful career, especially considering how some stars have recently bashed the films that got them their start in Hollywood.




In the end, Hathaway shared she is "so proud" she was able to be a part of the film.

"I'm really glad that I'm that girl right there."
