Anne Hathaway, the 35-year-old actress who tied the knot with Adam Shulman in 2012, welcomed their son Jonathan Rosebanks Shulman into the world in 2016. Now, still in the throes of breastfeeding her two-year-old, Hathaway shared the challenges she faced while filming the blockbuster Ocean’s 8.

Finding moments to pump amidst shooting became a balancing act for Hathaway, who found solace in the supportive environment fostered by her fellow cast members. Sitting down with Today hosts Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie, she recounted how her Ocean’s 8 co-stars, an ensemble of formidable actresses, became her pillars of strength.

Expressing her initial concerns about breastfeeding on set, Hathaway found her worries alleviated as her co-stars embraced and understood her situation. Cate Blanchett lightened the mood by humorously remarking how Hathaway’s breastfeeding journey inadvertently benefited her character’s wardrobe.

Yet beyond the banter, Hathaway emphasized the genuine camaraderie among the cast, particularly when it came to accommodating her breastfeeding schedule. She recalled a moment when her need to pump was met with immediate support from her co-stars, who insisted on breaks to prioritize her needs.

The bond extended beyond Hathaway, as Mindy Kaling shared how the presence of numerous mothers on set helped her navigate the challenges of balancing work and motherhood. It was a testament to the solidarity and understanding fostered among the Ocean’s 8 ensemble, transcending the silver screen into real-life support systems.
