LONDON: Anne Hathaway may have received her most flattering compliment yet.

The 32-year-old actress was recently compared to the most talked about newcomer, Amal Clooney, by Extra co-host Tracey Edmonds, 47, during an interview while promoting new film ‘Song One’.

On her resemblance to the 36-year-old British barrister, the Academy Award winner enthusiastically reacted and said: ‘I’ve never heard that, that’s the best thing!’

“You do bare a resemblance to the striking Amal Clooney, has anyone ever told you that?” Tracey asked Anne.’I’ve never heard that but thank you,’ the ‘Les Miserables’ star humbly responded. ‘That’s so going to be the best thing that happens to me today.’

Adding: ‘I hope that one day I become half the woman she is, she’s so accomplished and it’s so thrilling to look at someone and say “Wow you really are making the world a better place.”’ Although that was the first time Anne had heard the comparison herself, many Twitter fans had already commented on the resemblance between her and the wife of George Clooney.

@Shamandy tweeted: ‘George Clooney is getting married to Amal Alamuddin, The Arabian version of Anne Hathaway!’

@KotexLB also noted the similar looks writing: ‘#AmalAlamuddin and #AnneHathaway really look alike! Can you tell which is which?’
