The clumsy fall in The Princess Diaries
Clumsy characters fall all the time. That’s one of the main characteristics of a clumsy person. But it turns out that you can take that real-life awkwardness and incorporate it into a film to further drive a character’s story. And that’s what happened during the iconic fall on the bleachers in The Princess Diaries.
As two girls are walking on top of the bleachers, Anne Hathaway felt that was the ideal time to display her clumsiness for all to see. So, yeah, that was a complete accident, and so was the reaction of her co-star. Can you believe that this was Anne’s debut and breakout role? Much professional.
