“I’m going to disappear like a column of smoke, and you won’t see me for a long time. I’m going to take some time for myself”: Anne Hathaway announces she will step away from the cameras after her fifth premiere of the year

Anne Hathaway has already set a date for her break.

The actress will temporarily step away from the cameras the day after the premiere of “Verity”, scheduled for October 2. She stars alongside Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett in the film; after its release, she wants to set aside some time for her personal life.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Hathaway said with a sense of humor: “I’m going to disappear in a cloud of smoke”. It won’t be a permanent goodbye: she revealed that she’ll return to the set in March 2027 to work on “Days of Thunder 2”, once again alongside Tom Cruise. Meanwhile, she is expecting her third child with Adam Shulman. For now, her schedule includes a short break and a return date already set. ✨
