Many have raised the issue. And recently., Hathaway decided to break her silence on that topic when she stopped by TODAY. While on Today, Anne addressed the age gap.


“It’s kind of fun to be in a film where we talk about it, where we don’t dance around it, but we actually embrace her point of view on it,” she said.

She continued, “It’s funny, it’s OK if 40 is old, it’s OK if 40 isn’t old, it’s OK whatever it is, because it’s personal. For Solène, her point of view is, you know, she became a mom really young and she really wanted to have a career and so she doesn’t totally identify with her age. She feels like maybe she’s done things a little bit out of order and for her, 40 means it’s a time … of self discovery for her."

"And that’s what the movie says … how wonderful that she finds someone that she feels so supported by, seen by, embraced by, valued by,” she concluded.
