Alex Cooper will make her acting debut in the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s 2018 psychological thriller “Verity,” according to verified reporting from multiple entertainment news sources. The announcement was made during Amazon MGM Studios’ presentation at CinemaCon on April 15, 2026, where the first trailer for the film was unveiled.
In the film, Cooper plays herself, appearing in the opening scene of the trailer where she interviews Anne Hathaway’s character, renowned author Verity Crawford, on a fictional episode of her hit podcast “Call Her Daddy.” This marks Cooper’s first credited acting role, expanding her presence beyond her established career as a podcaster and media personality.
The adaptation of “Verity” stars Anne Hathaway in the title role of the successful author, alongside Dakota Johnson, who portrays a struggling writer hired to complete Crawford’s popular book series after discovering unsettling secrets in an unfinished manuscript. The film continues Hoover’s recent string of adaptations, following the releases of “It Ends With Us,” “Regretting You,” and “Reminders of Him.”
