Actress Anne Hathaway said she recently celebrated a major “milestone” amid her sobriety journey.
The 41-year-old Academy Award winner said she’s been avoiding alcohol for five years now. Hathaway discussed the topic during a recently published New York Times interview after being asked to share her thoughts on turning 40 and officially reaching middle age.
“There are so many other things I identify as milestones. I don’t normally talk about it, but I am over five years sober,” she told the outlet.
“That feels like a milestone to me. Forty feels like a gift,” Hathaway continued. “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.”
The actress, whose films have grossed more than $6.8 billion worldwide, previously discussed giving up drinking in part because of the responsibilities of motherhood.
“I’m gonna stop drinking while my son’s living in my house,” Hathaway said during an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in 2019.
“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,” 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.”

The actress and her husband, Adam Shulman, are parents to Jonathan, born in March 2016, and Jack, who joined the family in November 2019.
She also spoke about going alcohol-free during a Vanity Fair interview published last month.
“I knew deep down [drinking] wasn’t for me,” Hathaway said. “And it just felt so extreme to have to say, ‘But none?’ But none. If you’re allergic to something or have an anaphylactic reaction to something, you don’t argue with it. So I stopped arguing with it.”
“My personal experience with it is that everything is better,” she said of maintaining sobriety. “For me, it was wallowing fuel. And I don’t like to wallow.”
