America’s sweetheart, Anne Hathaway, is dropping bombshells in a new interview! The Princess Diaries favorite opened up about a hidden battle she faced while captivating audiences onstage – a battle so personal, it unfolded amidst the raw emotions of portraying a pregnant woman!
For six weeks, Hathaway poured her soul into the off-Broadway play “Grounded,” where she played a grounded (pun intended!) fighter pilot. But behind the powerful performance, a different story was playing out. As reported by Vanity Fair, the 41-year-old actress bravely revealed she suffered a miscarriage during the play’s run.
Imagine the emotional rollercoaster! Faking the exhilaration of childbirth onstage one moment, then dealing with the crushing reality of loss backstage. Hathaway confided in Vanity Fair that the experience was simply too much to bear alone. She needed her friends to be her support system, “It was too much to keep it in when I was onstage pretending everything was fine,” she said.
This isn’t the first time Hathaway has spoken her truth about fertility struggles. Remember her adorable 2019 Instagram announcement where she declared, “#2” wasn’t for a movie? Well, in her recent interview, she explains the message behind the photo went deeper. Hathaway says it would’ve been “disingenuous” not to acknowledge the challenges of getting pregnant, especially considering how many couples face similar battles.
“I wasn’t going to feel ashamed of something that seemed to me statistically to actually be quite normal,” Hathaway said.
Now a momma to two sons with her husband Adam Shulman, Anne Hathaway’s bravery in sharing her story is inspiring. It’s a powerful reminder that celebrities are human too, and even amidst the glam, they face challenges we can all relate to. Applause for Hathaway for using her platform to shed light on a topic often shrouded in secrecy!
