"I was on stage pretending everything was fine." Anne Hathaway reveals she suffered a miscarriage

Anne Hathaway appears on the cover of the new issue of Vanity Fair. In an interview with the publication, she said that she suffered a miscarriage. At the same time, at that time in the Broadway production she had to constantly play a woman who, according to the plot of the play, gives birth to a child.

“The first time I didn’t manage to give birth to a child. I played in a play, and I had to give birth on stage every evening,” she admitted.

"It was too hard to keep it to myself when I was on stage pretending everything was fine."

The actress noted that women often remain silent about miscarriage, and this makes them feel “isolated.” "That's where we take the damage. So I decided I would talk about it. To anyone who has experienced infertility and conception hell, please know that none of my pregnancies were easy."

Now Anne is the mother of two children. The actress and her husband Adam Shulman, whom she married in 2012, have two sons: seven-year-old Jonathan and three-year-old Jack.

Anne Hathaway also shared that at the beginning of her career she faced anxiety and experienced panic attacks. “Once on set I had a terrible anxiety attack, I didn’t understand what was happening. I couldn’t tell anyone, because I didn’t want to keep my colleagues waiting. Now I feel much calmer. In such cases, I go to someone responsible and take them him to the side and explaining, “I’m currently experiencing a panic attack.” Most people will agree to sit with you for just the 10 minutes it takes to come to their senses.”
