Actress Anne Hathaway braved the rainy Los Angeles elements to pay a visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live on Monday, to promote her new film Serenity.
The 36-year-old actress even took the time to smile and wave to fans who were waiting outside the El Capitan Entertainment Centre in Hollywood in the rain.
She was all smiles while taking a few moments to wave to the fans and photographers, while holding an umbrella to shield herself from the rain.

The actress also showed off large hoop earrings with black heels as she stepped away from her vehicle to address the fans briefly.
She’ll be promoting her new film Serenity, which reunites her with Interstellar co-star Matthew McConaughey, hitting theaters January 25.

Hathaway plays the ex-wife of a fishing boat captain (McConaughey), who tracks him down so he’ll help her in Serenity.
In doing so, she brings him into a reality that is not all that it’s cracked up to be in this film from writer-director Steven Knight (Locke).
Hathaway also took to Instagram on Monday, explaining that both she and her co-star McConaughey have realized this film is too complex for the typical ‘sound bites’ that are used for promotional purposes.

‘Matthew and I are learning our film Serenity isn’t easily broken down into sound bites,’ she said. ‘I really like movies like that, but just in case I am in the minority, here are some reasons why I think you should see it.’
‘I find Serenity to be a thrilling, ambitious, violent, spiritual, erotic, charged, dark, damning, contradictory, maddening, lushly intelligent film from the brilliant mind of Steven Knight,’ she continued.
‘It asks a lot of the audience,’ she added. ‘It exists outside cut-and-dry, black-and-white moralizing, beyond the realm of ‘thumbs up’ and ‘thumbs down,’ ‘it sucked,’ ‘it was bad-ass,’ etc. It will need some analysis and conversation after. Good.’

‘Serenity is a sexy, surreal, modern noir for grown ups who are into things that don’t come standard. If that sounds like you, I hope you’ll consider giving us your time and attention. Thanks for listening xx,’ Hathaway concluded.
Serenity also stars Jason Clarke, Diane Lane, Djimon Hounsou and Jeremy Strong, which will be the first of, likely, three new movies Hathaway has in theaters this year.
She also stars in The Hustle, a gender-swapped remake of the 1988 comedy classic Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, alongside Rebel Wilson, arriving May 10.
Hathaway also has The Last Thing He Wanted with Ben Affleck and Willem Dafoe in post-production, although no release date has been given yet.
