“I have been sober for 5 years.” Anne Hathaway talked about her decision to give up alcohol.

At 40, Anne Hathaway feels better about herself and her skin than she did in her 20s. The actress explains it especially by getting to know herself better, and first of all, by stopping to force herself to do things that were not for her. Like drinking alcohol for example. in an interview published by New York Times On April 27, when asked to respond to the idea that 40 is “mature”, he replied: “I don’t take it very seriously. There are many other things that I consider important steps. I don’t usually talk about it, but I’ve been sober for over five years. This is an important step for me. Forty years is a gift.”

“Fuel to lose weight”

This is not the first time that Anne Hathaway talks about her distant relationship with alcohol. in an interview with Vanity FairIn March of last year, he already announced on this topic. “I knew deep down that it wasn’t for me.” “It seemed so extreme that it should be said. “Not a drop!” Nothing at all. If you’re allergic to something or have an anaphylactic reaction to something, you don’t argue. So I stopped discussing,” he added. The actress went on to explain that for her, alcohol is “fuel for the booze” and that “everything is better” for her without it.

This time for The New York TimesAnne Hathaway talks more specifically about the reasons that prompted her to completely stop drinking.

(…) I was very worried about many things.” He also explains that he was experiencing “a lot of somatic stress”. “Was drinking alcohol a way to cope?” then the journalist asks him: “Probably,” answered the actress.
