‘Unemployment Fears’ Anne Hathaway As She Joins Tom Cruise In ‘Days Of Thunder’

Anne Hathaway simply doesn’t know how to slow down!
The actress, who won several accolades throughout her career, including an Academy Award, a British Academy Film Award, a Golden Globe Award, and a Primetime Emmy Award, is set to star in the follow-up film, “Days of Thunder,” alongside Tom Cruise.
Cruise shared the news on Instagram by posting a promotional photo and a video, featuring Hathaway, who is currently pregnant with her third child. The movie will hit theatres in “Summer 2028,” which is around two years from now, which means the actress will be working even shortly after giving birth. Fans reacted to the announcement with many emphasizing Hathaway’s busy work schedule.
“Anne is the enemy of unemployment, first lady of work,” one person wrote, while another commented, “Unemployment fears Anne Hathaway.”
British Fashion Illustrator, designer, and author Hayden Williams, who created a popular pop-culture illustration collection inspired by “The Devil Wears Prada,” jokingly asked the actress, “Anne when do you sleep sis?”
A fourth fan noted, “Anne Hathaway single handedly saving cinemas.”

Recently, Hathaway wrapped production on the Adam Driver military drama “Alone at Dawn,” and is set to return for the third installment of “The Princess Diaries,” per Variety.
Pregnancy Announcement
In June, Hathaway, 43, announced her pregnancy by sharing a video on Instagram. Wearing a white crop top and a long, flowy skirt, the movie star walked into the frame with her arms covering her tummy. Smiling to the camera, she cradled her belly before running out of frame.
“x Baby, I’m yours x,” Hathaway wrote in the caption.
The “Odyssey” star already has two sons, Jonathan, 10, and Jack, 6, with her actor and producer husband Adam Shulman, 45.
Anne Hathaway Won’t Be Sharing Her Baby’s Gender
3During an August 10 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, guest host Anthony Anderson guessed that Hathaway and Shulman would be having another boy. The actress neither confirmed nor denied, saying, “We know,” adding, “[But] we’re not saying.”
Hathaway thanked the audience, who cheered on her for not revealing her baby’s gender: “Thank you for the support. It always feels so rude saying that.”
The actress also shared that everyone, including her sons, are so excited for their new addition to the family.
“[They’re] over the moon,” she said. “It feels really beautiful. It feels like the family’s having a baby. I mean, it’ll feel like I’m having a baby while it’s happening, but the emotional feeling is that we’re all going to welcome this little one.”
Being Pregnant At 43
3During the premiere of her movie, “The End of Oak Street,” Hathaway opened up about how pregnancy feels different in her 40s compared to her 30s.
“You know, I was in my 30s with my other two, and I’m so different now,” she told PEOPLE. “Something happened when I turned 40.”
Hathaway continued, “I just realized that this isn’t a dress rehearsal. It’s all real. I’m not, like, saving it up for my future self. It’s all happening right now. And so I think I’m just better at being present in the moment, living in gratitude, not taking anything for granted.”
She added, “So I think all of those things are coming together, and it’s a real time to enjoy.”
