How Anne Hathaway's Ocean's Eight co-stars helped her love her post baby body

Anne Hathaway has starred in more than 30 movies during her career, but the moment she stepped onto the Ocean’s Eight set marked a personal milestone.   It was the first film the actress had worked on since she welcomed her first child, Jonathan Rosebanks, in 2016.   As tends to happen when one grows a whole other human being inside of them, Hathaway’s body had changed from the way it was pre-pregnancy.

Ocean’s Eight director Gary Ross also had no qualms about the star’s appearance, telling her they wanted as many different bodies on screen as possible.

Despite this, Hathaway admits she was conscious of her changed appearance - and says the reactions from her co-stars during filming were instrumental in her embracing it.

“Sandy Bullock looks up and goes, ‘Looking good, mama!’ I was like, ‘Ooh, that made me feel amazing’.”

As if that wasn’t enough to make a gal smile, pop queen Rihanna joined the chorus of praise.
