Anne Hathaway has poked fun at those who suggested her baby bump didn't look real after a recent film premiere, telling them she had "fake hair, real bump".
The US actress turned heads in an outfit that showed off her bare bump at the launch of her new film, The End of Oak Street, in Los Angeles on Sunday.
It sparked a flurry of comments on social media , external from people saying "Why does it look fake?" and "Oh come on. That is not real." But others leapt to her defence, with one writing: "A lot of people in these comments have never seen a pregnant belly on someone who has abs."
Hathaway, 43, announced in June that she is expecting her third child with husband Adam Shulman.
