'I'm chilled now!' Anne Hathaway shares how becoming a mother has made her less 'tightly wound'
Having a baby is always a life changing experience for any woman.
And Anne Hathaway is no different.
The Les Miserables star welcomed baby Jonathan into the world in March 2016 and while she feels she was always a 'fairly tightly-wound person' before, she says she has mellowed out now she is a mother.
Out with her boys: Anne Hathaway and husband Adam Shulman strolled with baby Jonathan in Midtown New York in October. The actress says she has mellowed out since becoming a mom
'I wasn’t expecting how chill I became because I’ve always been a fairly tightly-wound person, and the second I got pregnant I took a deep breath and stayed there,' she told Under The Radar in an interview posted on April 6
And the 34-year-old actress's attitude to her work has also changed.
'I don’t like moving slowly anymore. You want things to move quickly so you can get home,' Anne dished. 'You want to be able to go there and do your job, but your job can’t be everything.'
She also spoke about how being pregnant affected her role as Gloria in her new movie Colossal, due out in limited release next Friday after opening in Los Angeles and New York on April 7.
Cute couple: Anne and Adam both wore black for the LA premiere of Colossal on April 4. The 34-year-old actress, who was pregnant when it filmed, said it changed her attitude to work
The star said: 'I think that my pregnancy may have added a layer to my performance in this one because I was so happy all the time and I just felt this great joy and I love the idea that was who Gloria was.
'She wasn't depressed. She wasn't put upon. She actually was a party girl and she always brought the fun and I think my baby did that too.'
However, Anne took things more carefully on set.
'I'm usually a very gung-ho physical performer. I'm always so happy to just throw myself in there and if you get hit or bruised or anything, I never really care about that.
Talking it up: The actress answered questions about her quirky sci-fi movie Colossal at a screening in Hollywood on April 7
Coming soon: Colossal is due out in limited release next Friday after opening in Los Angeles and New York on April 7 and playing a slew of festivals including Toronto, Sundance and SXSW
'But with this one, it wasn't just me I was reaching out for so we broke the fight [scene] down very slowly. We did it piece by piece and I just tried my best not to fall.'
The star, who shares Jonathan with her actor-producer husband of four years. Adam Shulman, 37, is also a UN Goodwill Ambassador who has pledged to fight for paid parental leave.
On International Women's Day on March 18, the actress shared the first photo of her one-year-old in an Instagram post, showing him watching his mom on TV speaking out for women's rights.
'JRS watching Mommy give her speech at the UN yesterday,' she captioned it.
