Anne Hathaway has revealed she is celebrating a major milestone.
The "Dark Knight Rises" and "Princess Diaries" star revealed in an interview with the New York Times that she is five years sober, and intends to stay that way until both her sons, Jonathan, 8, and John, 4, are adults.
"There are so many other things I identify as milestones. I don't normally talk about it, but I am over five years sober," the oscar-winning actress said. "That feels like a milestone to me. Forty feels like a gift. The fact of the matter is I hesitate at calling things 'middle age' simply because I can be a semantic stickler and I could get hit by a car later today. We don't know if this is middle age. We don't know anything."
Her choice to go sober was first revealed In 2019. While visiting The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Hathaway announced her sobriety plan after a major realization she'd had following an incident where she dropped her kids off at school while hungover.
"I'm going to stop drinking while my son's living in my house. I don't totally love the way I drink, and he's getting to an age where he really does need me all the time in the mornings..."
"I did one school run one day where I dropped him off at school; I wasn't driving, but I was hungover, and that was enough for me. I didn't love that one," she added.
Does she intend to maintain her sobriety in the long term? According to The Hindustan Times, Hathaway doubled down once more in another interview later that year, expressing,
"I didn't put [a drink] down because my drinking was a problem; I put it down because the way I drink leads me to have hangovers, and those were the problem."
"I'll start drinking again, but that won't be until my kid is out of the house," she continued.
