Anne Hathaway recently credits her husband Adam Shulman for inspiring her to perform her best in the highly anticipated movie, The Odyssey.

The American actress expresses her joy for portraying the role of Penelope in Christopher Nolan directed movie, set to release this Friday, July 17.

Sharing her honest thoughts about being a part of epic movie, Hathaway reveals that it’s only possible because of her husband, whom she calls her “soulmate” during her conversation with E! News at the movie’s New York City premiere on July 14.

“I am one of the luckiest people on the planet Earth,” says the 43-year-old actress.

The Princess Diaries star admits meeting her “soulmate” and then they “decided to get married and have a family”.

Hathaway also notes that her costar Matt Damon feels similarly about his marriage to Luciana Barroso Damon.

Speaking to the interviewer, The Intern actress explains that they “both kind of started playing these characters in this deep love relationship, knowing “it was possible”.

Earlier, Hathaway makes candid confession about her third pregnancy during July 13 episode of Late Night With Seth Meyers.

“It’s amazing and we knew what we were doing but we were so shocked it worked,” adds the actress.
