Anne Hathaway says she has to skip the “Hot Ones” interview show because of medical advice related to her pregnancy. Multiple outlets report that she was interested in appearing on the Sean Evans-hosted series, which involves answering questions while eating progressively spicier chicken wings.

Hathaway explains that her doctor warned that spicy food could disrupt her pregnancy and raise the risk of going into early labor. She therefore plans to avoid “Hot Ones” during this period. One outlet also notes that Hathaway has participated in other “Verity” press activities, including solo podcast interviews and joint on-camera appearances with co-stars Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett.

Beyond the immediate decision about the show, one report adds longer-term context about her career plans, including a future pause and a projected return date for a later project. The outlets focus primarily on the medical reason for skipping “Hot Ones,” with differences mainly in the amount of detail about her broader promotional schedule and future plans.
