Anne Hathaway Shares Bikini Photo For All The Right Reasons

Though Anne Hathaway rarely shares pictures of her that show too much skin, the actress has now made an exception and posted a bikini picture to make a really good point about the paparazzi.

Namely, as she was enjoying her vacation, Hathaway noticed a couple of paparazzi taking pictures of her and decided to share with the world an image she is actually comfortable with and that is taken with her consent.

Anne, who revealed she was expecting a child in November, shared a picture on Instagram that features her standing on the beach, smiling at the camera and boasting her baby bump. She first took to Instagram to wish her followers a happy New Year and then she explained to them the circumstances which led her to publish such a photo in the first place.

Well done, Anne!

Happy 2016 to my beautiful Instafriends! So, posting a bikini pic is a little out of character for me, but just now while I was at the beach I noticed I was being photographed. I figure if this kind of photo is going to be out in the world it should at least be an image that makes me happy (and be one that was taken with my consent. And with a filter 🙂 Wishing you love, light and blessings for the year ahead! ⚡️🦄Annie🦄⚡️
