Anne Hathaway Praises Tom Holland as "Dream Son" on The Odyssey Set

Anne Hathaway has nothing but admiration for her co-star Tom Holland in Christopher Nolan's upcoming film adaptation of Homer's classic epic.

The 43-year-old actress opened up to eTalk about working alongside Holland and the rest of the cast on The Odyssey. "As a mom in real life, I very much hope all of my children grow up to be as wonderful as my onscreen child," she shared. "Tom is like a dream son."

In the film, Hathaway takes on the role of Penelope, with Holland playing her son Telemachus. Matt Damon rounds out the principal cast as Odysseus, Penelope's husband who is making his way home after the Trojan War.

Beyond the script and performances, Hathaway highlighted the genuine camaraderie that developed among the ensemble despite the production's massive scope. "We have this amazing script, brilliant actors, but also I just really love Tom, and I really love Matt, and I love Chris," she explained. "So I just feel like, even though this was this big, epic movie, it was really grounded in intimate appreciation of each other, respect for each other."

She added that the cast felt motivated to deliver their best work for Nolan. "I don't think any of us wanted to let Chris down, so I think we all harnessed our highest strength and our highest passion and we just tried to be an actor who was worthy of being in a Chris Nolan movie."

On the personal front, Hathaway is expecting her third child with husband Adam Shulman. The pair, who wed in 2012, are already parents to two sons, Jonathan and Jack.
