Anne Hathaway has officially had enough of the red carpet, and she's making her exit in the most dramatic way possible.
After starring in five movies released in 2026, the Oscar winner kept her word and disappeared from the spotlight following her latest press tour.
And yes, she literally turned herself into smoke.
Anne Hathaway "Vanishes" in Hilarious Video
Hathaway shared a hilarious video on Instagram Oct. 2, filmed ahead of the Los Angeles premiere of Verity.
"We're heading out to the Verity premiere," the 43-year-old actress says in the clip. "Verity comes out in theaters Friday, Oct. 2, and then on Oct. 3..."
Before she can finish her sentence, a cartoon-like cloud of smoke suddenly fills the screen, making Hathaway disappear. Someone from her team can then be heard reacting in confusion to her unexpected exit.
The video cuts to a series of fake headlines announcing Hathaway's disappearance, including: "Anne Hathaway disappears," "As promised, Anne Hathaway vanishes into a plume of smoke," and "Anne Hathaway simply evaporates."
Consider her promise officially fulfilled.
Hathaway Promised She'd Disappear After Her Fifth Press Tour
The bit was a callback to a promise Hathaway made just days earlier.
During a Sept. 21 interview with Entertainment Tonight, the actress revealed that she planned to take a break after completing her fifth press tour of the year.
"I’m going to disappear and take some time off," she said, joking that once Verity arrived in theaters, she would "vanish in a plume of smoke" and wouldn't be seen again until necessary.
Hathaway is also expecting her third child with husband Adam Shulman. She announced her pregnancy in June.

She Worried Audiences Might Get "Sick" of Seeing Her
Before embarking on her marathon year of promotions, Hathaway admitted she had some concerns about being everywhere at once.
"There’s a little bit" of fear that audiences could get tired of seeing her, she said during an Oct. 2 appearance on CBS Mornings.
"It's a lot and you want to be able to show up fully for each film," Hathaway explained. "And that's asking a lot of people to look at you for a long period of time."

"But then I thought to myself, 'What if it goes better than you'd imagine?'" she recalled.
By the looks of it, Hathaway has plenty to celebrate.
"Thank you everyone for your support," she wrote at the end of her Instagram video, "and for making this an incredible, unforgettable year."
