Anne Hathaway suffered a miscarriage just at the time when she was playing a pregnant woman in a play. The US actress and mother of two sons now reports on this painful experience in an interview with Vanity Fair magazine.
Accordingly, the now 41-year-old lost her unborn baby in 2015. »It didn't work for me the first time. I did a play and had to give birth on stage every night,” says Hathaway. She appeared in the play “Grounded” for six weeks. In it she played a pilot who gives birth to a child.
When her friends visited her backstage after the performances, she told them about the miscarriage, the actress said: "It was just too much that I was on stage pretending that everything was fine. I had to tell the truth.”
Through infertility hell
Hathaway wants to encourage other women who are going through similar experiences: "It's really hard to want something so much and wonder if you're doing something wrong," she remembers of the time of the miscarriage.
Back in 2019, when she announced her pregnancy with her second son, she addressed “all those who are going through infertility hell and have difficulty conceiving.” They should know that it wasn't easy for them either.
In the interview she says: "Given the pain I felt trying to get pregnant, it would have been disingenuous to post something entirely happy when I know everyone's story is much more nuanced than."
Hathaway became famous in the 2001 comedy “Suddenly Princess.” This was followed by other successful films such as “The Devil Wears Prada” and “Interstellar”. In 2013, she received the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the musical adaptation “Les Misérables”. She is married to fellow actor Adam Shulman and has two sons with him: Jonathan, born in 2016, and Jack, born in 2019.
