"What did I do?!'" she joked.

"People are like 'Anne!' And I'm like 'What?"

More than 20 years after deciding to go by "Anne", actor Anne Hathaway made a decision to set the record straight.

She recalled when she was 14 years old, she was asked what name she wanted on the screen actors guild card.

"They asked me what my name to be".

"The only person who calls me Anne is my mother and she only does it when she's really mad at me, like really mad", she continued.

Starting the interview, she said: "Call me Annie, everybody, everybody, call me Annie, please".

The Hustle star quickly replied, "Call me Annie!".

Anne recently revealed one of her biggest challenges being a mother in the midst of the pandemic.

But if you go back to her Paper Mill Playhouse days, Hathaway, who grew up in Millburn, was Annie.

Anne Hathaway has given us many loveable onscreen moments.

Fallon said that being referred to by his full name, James Thomas, gave him the same feeling, and they laughed about how odd it would be if people called out his birth name on the street. But she's always been credited as Anne, from her star-making turn opposite Julie Andrews in the 2001 film "The Princess Diaries" to her new movie, "Locked Down".

The actress, on Tuesday, said that she was into vintage fashion and chose to wear her mom's pair of metallic gold disco shoes to school. She said that people also call her Miss H or Hath. She added that people are lovely and that's why they come up with workarounds set as the truth is no one is comfortable to call her Anne.

And then went on to reveal her huge crush on Leonardo DiCaprio.

"It's been a lot, but those are good ages to be home with your kids", she told Fallon.

The moniker is problematic for her because of how it's used in her personal life.
