Amy Adams says she was ‘moved’ by Maya Rudolph’s ‘risky’ pregnancy assumption

Maya Rudolph has revealed she once made a “risky” assumption after meeting Amy Adams.

The Hollywood stars appear in Disney sequel Disenchanted, and appeared on a chat show to promote the new film on Tuesday (15 November).

Rudolph said that they first met at a birthday party in 2009 when she was “severely pregnant”, and remembered telling Adams she thought she was pregnant, also.

“I do remember I told Amy I thought she was pregnant – not in a way of like, ‘You’re pregnant,’ but in a, ‘I can tell that you’re prgenant’ way,” she said. Fortunately for Rudolph, she was.

“It was very witchy,” Adams said, adding: “I was actually very moved by it. I had told immediate family but I hadn’t told an extended group of people. I wanted to touch her and get all her wisdom.”

Kimmel said that he found Rudolph’s prediction to “very risky”, joking: “I would sooner a woman if she has diarrhoea than ask if she’s pregnant.”

Rudolph, who said it “was more of like a sixth sense thing”, elaborated: “It wasn’t a gross thing of like, ‘Bump alert!’ or one of those horrible phrases.

“That’s the only time I’ve done that. I do not ask people if they’re pregnant – this was a weird one-off.”

Adams has one daughter, Aviana, whom she shares with her husband, painter Darren Le Gallo.

Meanwhile, Rudolph has four children with film director Paul Thomas Anderson.
