Anne Hathaway has named her new dog after her favourite movie character.
The ‘Les Miserables’ actress and her husband Adam Schulman – who already have a chocolate labrador named Esmeralda – took on the care of mixed breed pooch Edward last month and have named their new pet after a ‘Star Wars’ icon.
A source told Us Weekly magazine: "Their new dog is named Kenobi, as in Obi Wan-Kenobi from ‘Star Wars’. "
It was previously revealed that the couple’s new dog is a "little gentleman" who was expected to make a perfect companion for Esmeralda.
Teri Austin, president of The Amanda Foundation, the Beverly Hills rescue centre where they got the new pooch, said: "They were looking for a companion for Esmeralda.
"He makes very good eye contact with you. I think he’s going to train very nicely, he’s an intelligent little dog.
"He was such a little gentleman. He’s a calm, sweet puppy. Which is why he’s going to be a good companion for Esmeralda."
Teri went on to praise the 31-year-old beauty for her love of dogs.
She added: ""Some people have an intuition for dogs, and she’s one of them. She’s a dog person."
