Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window) Anne Hathaway is done drinking for the next 18 years. Discussing her new film “Serenity” during an appearance on “Ellen” Tuesday, Hathaway, 36, recalled filming the thriller with Matthew McConaughey on the island of Mauritius, which included an eventful evening. “We drank the night away,” Hathaway shared of the night spent with McConaughey and his wife, Camila Alves. “Then I had to go to a meeting with Steven Knight, our director, the next day. “I was just kind of — have you guys ever had to do a meeting hungover?” Hathaway then asked the audience. “And so I was just kind of like stumbling with one eye open and I was trying to convince him certain things about my character.” Hathaway said she admitted to Knight that she was hungover. “He just goes, ‘Oh, really? I couldn’t tell.’ And then two days later we had another meeting and I showed up and he said, ‘Oh, now I can,'” Hathaway recalled. The Oscar-winning actress then explained how motherhood factored into her choice of laying off alcohol. “I quit drinking back in October,” Hathaway said, noting it will be for 18 years. “I’m going to stop drinking while my son is living in my house just because I don’t totally love the way I do it, and he’s getting to an age where he really does need me all the times in the morning. I did one school run 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 continued. Hathaway and husband Adam Shulman, who wed in 2012, welcomed their son Jonathan four years later.<doc-sep>Screenshot : Ellentube Good old Anne Hathaway is out here making the absolute most sense for once and I am shocked, humbled, and in awe of her wisdom at this moment in time! ! Advertisement In an appearance on Ellen, the Hathaway mentioned that she made the decision to stop drinking for the next 18 years because she went to a business meeting hungover and wasn’t thrilled about the way she felt. The whole 18 years thing is because of her son, who is young and requires a lot of her attention. “I’m going to stop drinking while my son is in the house just because I don’t totally don’t love the way I do it and he’s getting to an age where he really does need me all the time in the morning,” she said. Makes a lot of sense to me! Being hungover and dealing with yourself is too much to bear after a certain age, when hangovers stretch into two- day affairs. Imagining that feeling but also dealing with a child sounds like a nightmare that no one should willingly suffer through! Will she actually not drink at all for 18 years, until her precious son is grown up and has left the house? I have no idea, because I cannot see the future and would never dare to try. But chasing a two- year- old with a splitting headache and a desperate need for seltzer and an Egg McMuffin sounds like torture, so hey, maybe she will. Drinking is fine, live your life, but Annie (if I may call you that? ), try weed!! ! [Just Jared] And now, an update on whatever the hell is happening with Blac Chyna, Alexis Skyy and Rob Kardashian. There’s absolutely NO way Alexis will meet Dream, because: 1) that relationship between Rob and Alexis won’t last; 2) it’s baked into their custody agreement that Dream will meet no new significant other within the first six months of dating. Again, I am not a professional, just an avid enthusiast, but shouldn’t all custody agreements have some sort of clause like this? Even if they DO violate said agreement, Dream is a baby and won’t remember shit, but for optics and also for the sanity of all parties involved, maybe it’s best to just... not. [Page Six] Advertisement Uh.... okay!!! [People]<doc-sep>Anne Hathaway has been making the interview rounds recently in support of her upcoming movie, Serenity. This week she appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and shared a funny tidbit about her time filming the movie. Serenity was filmed on Mauritius, an island off the eastern coast of Africa. As USA Today reports, while she was there, Hathaway and her co-star Matthew McConaughey visited some rum bars on the island, along with McConaughey's wife, Camila Alves.

When DeGeneres asked how the rum bar tour went, Hathaway laughingly replied, "I don't remember. I have no idea." Hathaway further explained, "They're both cool, and I'm not, and I just can't drink as much as them." The next day, the Oscar-winning actress had to go to a meeting with Serenity director Steven Knight, and she said that she was "just kinda stumbling in with one eye open and I was trying to convince him about certain things about my character." Hilarious. Amanda Edwards Getty Images After that experience, Hathaway revealed that she stopped drinking in October 2018, and she plans to continue to stay sober until her two-year-old son, Johnathan, turns eighteen. "I’m going to stop drinking while my son is in my house just because I don’t totally love the way I do it, and he’s getting to an age where he really does need me all the time in the mornings," she continued. "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." DeGeneres then quipped, "That's another reason why I don't want kids."

But it's even harder when you've got another full-time job: parenting. And while kids probably can't tell that mommy had a bit too much wine last night, hangovers don't help you bring your parenting A-game. That’s why Anne Hathaway says she’s giving up drinking. "I quit drinking back in October," she said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

The 36-year-old actress then told the story of how she dropped her 3-year-old off at school when she was super hungover—and, well, it sucked. "I wasn’t driving, but I was hungover—and that was enough for me," she said. "I didn’t love that one." This content is imported from Instagram.

Anne also confided that she once drank too much with Matthew McConaughey while shooting Serenity on the island of Mauritius. "We drank the night away, and then I had to go to a meeting with Steven Knight, our director, the next day, and I was just kinda stumbling in with one eye open and I was trying to convince him about certain things about my character," she said. "And at the end of it I said, 'Listen, I have a confession. I was hungover the entire time.' And he just goes, 'Oh, really? I couldn’t tell.'" The Ocean's Eight star is one of several celebs cutting out alcohol. Earlier this month, Chrissy Teigen tweeted that she didn’t drink on a flight home from vacation, and it rocked. "You get home feeling like a normal, healthy being. It’s very weird. I like it," she wrote. Of course, giving up alcohol doesn’t just help you avoid a hangover—it also has some serious health perks, like better quality sleep and more energy. It can even help you lose weight and have clearer skin. Sure, giving up alcohol isn’t for everyone. But if you just can't sit through another pretend tea party with a pounding head, it might be worth a shot (figuratively speaking).

Anne Hathaway made a big decision last October, but we're only just now hearing it: She's decided to stop drinking. And it appears that her son Jonathan, 2, was a big influence on her deciding to go cold turkey for 18 years. "I'm going to stop drinking while my son is living in my house, just because I don't totally love the way I do it and he's getting to an age where he really does need me all the time in the morning," she revealed on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" Tuesday. "I did one school run one day where I dropped him off at school, I wasn't driving, but I was hung over and that was enough for me," Hathaway, 36, added. "I didn't love that one." "Yeah, that's another reason I don't want kids," joked DeGeneres. Anne Hathaway told Ellen DeGeneres she stopped drinking in October and plans to stay away from alcohol while her son grows up. Michael Rozman/Warner Bros. Jonathan's dad is Hathaway's husband Adam Shulman; they've been married since 2012. But there was another factor that played into the Oscar-winner's resolution: drinking rum with her "Serenity" co-star Matthew McConaughey and his wife Camila Alves while making the thriller, which hits theaters on Friday. "We drank the night away, and then I had to go to a meeting with Steven Knight, our director, the next day, and I was just kinda — have you guys ever had to do a meeting hung over?" she asked the audience. "I was just kinda stumbling in with one eye open and I was trying to convince him about certain things about my character." She 'fessed up afterward, and the director said he "couldn't tell" she'd been hung over. "Then, two days later, we had another meeting and I showed up and said, 'Oh, now I can (tell).'"
