Anne Hathaway, known for her roles in “The Princess Diaries” and “The Idea of You,” has reached a significant milestone in her life. The 41-year-old actress recently revealed to the New York Times that she has been sober for over five years, a decision she sees as a huge accomplishment.
Hathaway admitted that she doesn’t usually discuss her sobriety, but felt that reaching the five-year mark was worth mentioning. She explained to Vanity Fair that she knew deep down that alcohol wasn’t for her and decided to stop arguing with that fact.
The actress has a positive outlook on her sobriety, stating that everything in her life has improved since making the decision to stop drinking. She described alcohol as “wallowing fuel” and expressed that she doesn’t like to wallow.
Becoming a mother played a significant role in Hathaway’s choice to give up alcohol. She shares two sons, Jonathan, 8, and Jack, 4, with her husband Adam Shulman. In 2019, Hathaway decided to quit drinking until her son Jonathan was grown and out of the house. She realized that alcohol was affecting her ability to be there for her children, especially in the mornings when she was needed most.
Hathaway’s decision was further solidified after experiencing a hungover morning while taking her son to school. Although she wasn’t driving, the experience was enough for her to realize she didn’t want to feel that way again.
At the New York City premiere of “The Idea of You,” Hathaway spoke about her hopes for the movie and the audience it will resonate with.
