Whoopi Goldberg Moves Anne Hathaway to Tears Promoting Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey
While promoting Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, Whoopi Goldberg and an emotional Anne Hathaway shared a charged onstage exchange.
On ABC’s The View this week, a routine chat about The Odyssey took a turn when Whoopi Goldberg paused the table talk to speak directly to Anne Hathaway . The brief tribute landed hard enough that Hathaway covered her face and teared up before the show moved on.
“Anne Hathaway, it ’s been wonderful watching you. It’s been wonderful watching you grow up. And you have just blossomed, turned into this fabulous actress.”
Hathaway tried to wave it off—“No, don’t!”—and then, laughing through tears, nodded to her personal news:
“I’d be crying even if I wasn’t pregnant right now.”
The segment doubled as a mini cast reunion for Nolan’s new film, with Hathaway sharing the couch alongside Matt Damon and Christopher Nolan . After composing herself, she redirected the moment by praising Damon’s work before the panel pivoted back to the movie.

Big year, big moment
The stop on The View comes during a busy run for Hathaway, who recently shared she’s expecting her third child and has been out front for The Odyssey, which has become a major box-office story. She’s also been talking about her process on Mother Mary, her collaboration with director David Lowery, describing the meticulous prep she brings to set.
The Odyssey continues its nationwide theatrical run as the cast makes the rounds on morning and late-night shows.
