It was my first apartment. I had an inflatable mattress and a TV, and I didn&#8217;t have anything to put the TV on,&#8221; she told the outlet. &#8220;And I was just walking down the street and I just saw this completely adorable little table. And it was my table for about 10 years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Getting into more details about the tiny walk-up, Hathaway also fondly recalled her favorite feature in the entire space.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;It was a 350-square-foot walk-up, a sublet. But the best part was it had a fire escape,&#8221; the actress explained. &#8220;I would just go out there and get drunk and smoke cigarettes with my friends. And I literally didn&#8217;t think life could get better.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Hathaway also detailed her connection to New York City, noting that she was born in Brooklyn but her family moved to New Jersey when she was 6 years old.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Then I came back when I was 18, and it&#8217;s been off and on since then,&#8221; she continued. As for how many times she&#8217;s moved in the city, the star added: &#8220;Oh, a lot. Upwards of eight but most likely, like, 15.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Anne Hathaway arrives at 'Verity' press junket in N.Y.C. on Sept. 17, 2026Credit: Santi Ramales\/BACKGRID\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"480\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/people_218\/b4870f5c7dc104650353a05dfe58b6ac.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Anne Hathaway arrives at &#8216;Verity&#8217; press junket in N.Y.C. on Sept. 17, 2026<br \/>Credit: Santi Ramales\/BACKGRID<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Most recently, the actress has been busy promoting her upcoming movie <a data-ylk=\"slk:Verity;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/verity-movie-what-to-know-11959954\" class=\"null\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Verity<\/a>, which also stars <a data-ylk=\"slk:Dakota Johnson;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/tag\/dakota-johnson\/\" class=\"null\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Dakota Johnson<\/a> and <a data-ylk=\"slk:Josh Hartnett;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/tag\/josh-hartnett\/\" class=\"null\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Josh Hartnett<\/a>.
