Anne Hathaway Nearly Wore OG Anunoby Jersey for Knicks Next Game
Anne Hathaway turned her Knicks next game fandom into a late-night talking point on April 30, 2026, saying on The Tonight Show that she considered wearing an OG Anunoby jersey. She called herself a very chill fan and said she wanted to be a gentle, loving, motherly fan while talking Knicks.
Hathaway and Fallon
Appearing on the show to promote The Devil Wears Prada 2, Hathaway leaned into her Knicks connection with Jimmy Fallon and framed her support around calm, not confrontation. She said, “But I’m also the type of fan that I considered wearing an OG [Anunoby] jersey out here today,” then added, “When I’m at the game, I want them to know that I know who they are and that they’re going to win.”
She drew a line between her style of support and the louder version she says she avoids. “I don’t want to get out into like ‘Oh, what are you doing!?’ All that,” Hathaway said. “I’m trying to be like a gentle, loving, motherly fan.”
OG Anunoby at Garden
The Anunoby mention was not random. Hathaway said she had a memorable moment in 2024 when the Knicks forward nearly careened into her during a game at Madison Square Garden, and she said she was also worried about a basketball that had been headed her way. She added, “And when you miss the basket, that wasn’t you. … That basket moved, I saw it.”
That Garden connection has already made her a familiar face around the team, and she has been spotted there before. The jersey idea tied her fandom directly to one of the Knicks’ current players rather than keeping it at the level of a celebrity shoutout.
Game 5 and the playoffs
Hathaway also said she missed the Knicks’ Game 5 win over the Hawks on Tuesday because she was working, explaining that she did not know the series would go that deep into the playoffs. “I was working because I didn’t know that it was going to go that deep into the playoffs [series]. It was such a great game,” she said.
For Knicks fans, the scene was less about a cameo and more about how visible the team has become during a playoff run. Hathaway’s comments on April 30, 2026 put a high-profile supporter on the same stage as the team’s postseason moment, with Anunoby’s name and the Game 5 win both folded into the conversation.
For readers tracking the Knicks around this playoff stretch, the takeaway is simple: Hathaway is not just showing up at Madison Square Garden, she is talking about the roster, the game she missed, and the jersey she almost wore on national television.
