Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett take BuzzFeed Celeb's co-star test for Verity
The cast's quiz on love languages, karaoke songs and emergency contacts drew about ten times the channel's usual first day, and viewers keep pausing at one name from Hathaway's past.

Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson, and Josh Hartnett Find Out How Well They Know Each Other
BuzzFeed Celeb's co-star test with the cast of Verity had been online for nine hours when it passed 32,000 views. That pace puts it at roughly ten times a usual first day for the channel, which has spent the past week on K-pop voicemails and VMAs flirting segments.
The format is simple. Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett answer questions about one another and keep score. The chapters run from the first time they met to pet peeves, love languages, karaoke picks, childhood crushes, a fashion trend worth reviving and, in the last few seconds before the final tally, each one's favorite swear word. The film is the adaptation of Colleen Hoover's thriller about a writer hired to finish a famous author's books.
The comments are mostly about Johnson. Viewers keep quoting her deadpan complaint, partway through, that the quiz is long, and her quiet disappointment when Hathaway leaves their kissing scene off her list of favorite scenes. Many also note that Hathaway and Johnson named each other as emergency contacts.
The other popular timestamp is 10:20, the question about former co-stars. There, viewers say, Hathaway names Emily Blunt, her partner in The Devil Wears Prada, and the comments fill with a fan nickname for the pair. One viewer adds a reasonable complaint: with the film not yet out, it is hard to follow the talk about its scenes.
The channel also cut two shorts from the session, one on pet peeves and one on a romantic umbrella gesture. Both drew a smaller crowd than the full quiz.
