Anne Hathaway on recent success: This is very fun, extremely surreal
Los Angeles, July 21
Hollywood actress Anne Hathaway, who is on track to release five movies in 2026, is thrilled that she's still so active at this stage of her career.
The Hollywood star, who is currently pregnant with her third child, told people.com: "I'm excited. This is very, very fun. It's extremely surreal."
Hathaway stars in The Odyssey, the new Sir Christopher Nolan-directed fantasy film, alongside the likes of Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Samantha Morton, Zendaya, and Charlize Theron.
The Oscar-winning actress is conscious that success "doesn't last forever," reports femalefirst.co.uk.
She said: "I'm at an age and a moment in my career where I know stuff like this doesn't come around very often, and certainly doesn't last forever."
Hathaway recently starred in Mother Mary, and The Devil Wears Prada 2, while The End of Oak Street and Verity are slated for release later this year.
She said that she's keen to embrace opportunities while they are still coming her way.
She said: "I'm just gonna surf this wave for as long as it lasts, I'm going to enjoy being on my board, and then when I fall in the water - that'll be that moment."
Meanwhile, Anne previously explained that her performance in Mother Mary was inspired by Jessica Chastain.
The actress performed a spooky dance routine in the psychological drama-thriller film, and Hathaway revealed that Jessica, her showbiz pal, inspired her dance in the movie.
The actress claimed that the key to her performance was mastering the art of looking "possessed" while dancing.
Hathaway, whose previous film credits include The Princess Diaries, The Devil Wears Prada, and Les Miserables, said: "It's not just about the performance, it's about looking like something else is coming through, that you are actually possessed by something."

Big fan of her work since The Devil Wears Prada. Can't wait to see her in The Odyssey with Nolan - that cast is absolutely stacked. Hope she gets some good screen time alongside Matt Damon and the rest.
I admire how she's balancing pregnancy with such a busy career. In India, we often see women having to choose between family and work, but she's showing it's possible to have both. That 'surfing the wave' metaphor is beautiful - very zen, very us! 🏄♀️
Honestly, her performance in Les Miserables was phenomenal - that Oscar was well-deserved. But some of her recent choices feel a bit random. Mother Mary sounds interesting but the 'possessed dance' thing? Not sure about that. Still, glad she's enjoying the ride!
So happy for her! She's come a long way from The Princess Diaries. That film was a huge part of my childhood in Mumbai. Seeing her now as a mother and an Oscar winner is inspiring. Hope she continues to get such great roles - she's earned it ❤️
One thing I've noticed about Anne is her resilience. She faced a lot of criticism earlier in her career (remember the whole 'Hathahate' phase?) but she bounced back beautifully. That's a lesson for all of us - keep moving forward, no matter what people say. Respect! 🙏
