Anne Hathaway admits recent success feels 'surreal'

Anne Hathaway has reflected on her success

Anne Hathaway finds her recent success to be "extremely surreal".

The 43-year-old actress is on track to release five movies in 2026, and Anne 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: "I’m excited. This is very, very fun. It’s extremely surreal."

Anne 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.

But the Oscar-winning actress is conscious that success "doesn’t last forever".

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."

Anne 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.

The actress explained 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 Anne revealed that Jessica, her showbiz pal, inspired her dance in the movie.

The award-winning star - who appeared in the film alongside the likes of Michaela Coel, Hunter Schafer, Kaia Gerber, Jessica Brown Findlay, and FKA Twigs - told Entertainment Weekly: "I have to give a shout out to Jessica Chastain, who, when she did A Doll’s House, did a danse macabre on stage that I saw right before I left to start this, and it just blew my mind and made me wanna go even deeper than I already had gone."

Anne claimed that the key to her performance was mastering the art of looking "possessed" while dancing.

The acclaimed actress - 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."
