While Anne Hathaway and Mandy Moore’s characters weren’t friends in The Princess Diaries, they totally are in real life. And it looks like there may a reunion in the works, which we are totally fangirling over!
Just in time for Throwback Thursday, This Is Us star Mandy Moore posted a photo of her and Hathaway standing on the red carpet together at the premiere of the movie on Instagram.
The photo shows both stars in their best early aughts apparel, with Hathaway donning a shimmering burgundy gown and Moore, then 17, sporting a grey jacket over a black t-shirt and denim jeans.
“I guess this film came out just over 17 years ago?? @annehathaway was already a movie star and I showed up to my first premiere in a casual denim suit. Hey, it was 2001! #tbt #theprincessdiaries” Moore captioned the adorable throwback picture, poking fun at her outfit.
Well, it didn’t take long for Hathaway to notice the heartfelt picture and respond, showering her former co-star with love, Hello Giggles reports.
“That’s the face I make when I’m trying to not flop sweat on a terrifically famous pop star,” Hathaway responded, referring to Moore’s successful career as a singer prior to acting. “So happy for all that you have going on!”
“Let’s get together and throw ice cream at each other soon,” Hathaway suggested, referring to one of the most iconic scenes in The Princess Diaries where Hathaway’s Mia Thermopolis plasters her antagonist, Moore’s Lana Thomas, with an ice cream cone. All together now: Lana got coned!
Moore was quick to respond, and expressed her delight in reuniting with Hathaway.
“Hello friend! Count me in. It’d be an honor to be coned by you again!” Moore replied, along with a laughing emoji and a heart.
According to ET, news of the reunion excited fans, including journalist and author Ronan Farrow who commented, “There aren’t enough ‘like’ buttons in the world for this.”
While the reunion doesn’t necessarily mean that there will be a third installment in the Princess Diaries anytime soon, it certainly makes us want one even more. We can only hope.
Hopefully the reunion takes place, though, and that someone takes some pictures.
