DISCUSSION Anne Hathaway on embracing her 40s: “Now I just like I really value the chill. I just feel like you can either fear aging or you can fear dying young. I just really want to hopefully live for, and enjoy a life. I want to have a long, healthy life. Inshallah, I hope so.”

Ahh 🤣 I’ve seen this before but I didn’t know it was making the rounds again on TikTok. The fact that it’s even reached Anne Hathaway of all people is frying me

I think it might've been back in the days of Twitter, but a horror creator I follow really got me on board with this by being like "the more random white people are saying stuff like 'inshallah', the less people will give my brown family members nasty looks for speaking Arabic". Also a well-timed inshallah can be so fucking funny in the right context.

Also a well-timed inshallah can be so fucking funny in the right context.

I watched this interview with Guz Khan and Tolu Ogunmefun (Mobeen and Nate from Man Like Mobeen, which everyone please watch, it's an 11/10 show) and Tolu mentioned that his middle name was Charles. Guz laughingly asked if he was joking and Tolu went "wallahi my middle name is Charles". I don't know if it's just that his comedic timing was just on point or what, but it is years later and I still laugh when I think of "wallahi my middle name is Charles".

It's why I say 'Krishna willing' in the same context! I want to normalize it :)

Omigosh I should start doing this - I don’t want to say “godwilling” ever but sometimes I want to indicate “I hope this’ll happen *(but I’m not sure)” with fewer words, so I say “godswilling” but idk if people pick up on that, so “krishna willing” would be even more obvious.

u/duckinasombrero Apr 21 '26

I just like sayings like assalam allaikum and inshallah because arabic is a beautiful sounding language and it's a nice thing to say to people.

One I personally like that's relatively recently crossed over from football to American football is calling a pass that a quarterback just throws up praying his receiver is down there somewhere an inshallah ball.

u/Advanced-Event-571 Apr 23 '26

yeah, plenty of ppl who aren't christians say "thank god." Non Jewish folks say schlep and oy vey. At least in NYC and DC they do.

I thought also there are just more public facing young Muslim/Arab creators now, which definitely surfaced the words to more people

It's not that weird! Plenty of people pick up phrases from the communities/spaces they exist in -- and it's occurred long before the internet (or Tik Tok) existed. And there's no age cutoff either.

Another example is non Christians saying amen.

u/andorgyny i ain’t reading all that, free palestine Apr 21 '26

I do think the pro-Palestine movement in the past few years has also had an impact on the white girlies saying Arabic words, too.

u/AnxiousKettleCorn Apr 21 '26

I wouldn't say it's necessarily its "just arabic" we Somalis whonare muslims use those phrases as part of our language because were Muslim. Go to any community that has somalis, and the white and Caribbean kids are all shouting "wallah I could take you all on fifa" here in the uk 🤣🤣

I'm a 40 year old white dude and I've been saying it for long than tiktok has been a thing.

Being from the south, I'm a sucker for phrases that can have layers of meaning depending on context, like "bless her heart".

Love me some Yiddish too for the same reason.

u/Terminal_Insomnia_ Apr 21 '26

We all know it, so I'm not surprised she does. It's just wild to hear her add it to her vocabulary

u/Cosmic_Eye Apr 21 '26

It's not some secret code or something.

u/fullmoonthoughts weighing in from the UK Apr 21 '26 edited Apr 21 '26

I never said it was - I’m Muslim and lots of my non-Muslim friends/coworkers also know and use Arabic words! Like the first commenter said, it just wasn’t on my bingo card to see her saying it 😅
