Anne Hathaway has dismissed concerns about her stamina during the final stretch of a marathon 2026 press tour. Speaking to Brut America, the actress addressed the physical toll of releasing five major films in a single calendar year.

When asked by the interviewer how she avoids exhaustion after such a demanding schedule, Hathaway remained overwhelmingly positive about her current state.

«I really, really feel okay,» Hathaway said. «Like, energy is holding. And I think also because I’m a week away from the finish line, so now I’m just like, kind of… I have adrenaline, there’s light at the end of the tunnel, I feel good.»

The interview arrives just days before the October 2 theatrical release of «Verity», a psychological thriller based on the Colleen Hoover novel. The project marks Hathaway’s fifth feature film of 2026 following a string of high-profile releases that dominated the box office.

Dominating the 2026 box office

Hathaway’s busy year began in April with David Lowery’s psychological drama, «Mother Mary.» She quickly followed this up by reprising her iconic role as Andy Sachs in the highly anticipated May release of «The Devil Wears Prada 2.»

Her summer schedule proved equally intense. In July she starred in Christopher Nolan‘s secretive project «The Odyssey» before pivoting to the survival thriller set in a science fiction world, «The End of Oak Street,» in August. Each release required extensive global marketing campaigns, red carpet appearances and press junkets.

Despite the gruelling itinerary, the Brut interview showcased an actress who remained remarkably energised. The social media reaction to the video focused heavily on her radiant appearance rather than her busy schedule.

Positive reception to viral comments

The Instagram comments section quickly filled with fans analysing Hathaway’s look. Many users noted that she appeared to have gained some weight.

Rather than criticising the perceived physical changes, the online discourse was remarkably supportive. Commenters overwhelmingly expressed joy at how healthy she looked, praising her glowing complexion and upbeat demeanour during the taxing final days of her global media obligations.
