Whoopi Goldberg makes Anne Hathaway CRY as she praises her on The View

The View moderator Whoopi Goldberg managed to bring Anne Hathaway to tears as she heaped praise on the actress on Monday’s episode of ABC’s all-female political panel show.

The expecting 43-year-old had a surprisingly emotional response to the 70-year-old EGOT champ as Goldberg said: ‘It’s just been wonderful watching you grow up.’

‘Don’t,’ Hathaway warned as she appeared to become overwhelmed.

Goldberg (born Caryn Johnson) continued: ‘And you have just blossomed, turned into this fabulous actress. Girl…’

‘No, don’t!’ Hathaway repeated as she covered her face and started to tear up.

‘Yes!’ the comedian stressed. ‘You need to know.’

‘I would be crying if I wasn’t pregnant right now,’ Hathaway said with a smile.

‘It’s something you need to know and remember,’ Goldberg continued.

‘I don’t know what to say,’ The Odyssey actress replied as she continued to cry. ‘Thank you. You know how I feel about you.’

Indeed, Hathaway and her husband Adam Shulman – who’ve been married for over 13 years – are getting ready to welcome a sibling for their 10-year-old son Jonathan and six-year-old son Jack.

The native New Yorker was still dating Italian investment fraudster Raffaello Follieri in January 2008 when she ‘fell in love at first sight’ with the 45-year-old former actor during the Palm Springs Festival.

Nine months later, Hathaway began dating Shulman, who went on to meet his James Bank Design co-creator Heidi Nahser Fink in 2009 on the set of her movie Alice in Wonderland.

The inseparable pair – who share matching ‘M’ tattoos – also co-produced her 2014 romance Song One as well as her upcoming Paramount+ series Fear Not.

The Daily Mail has reached out to Hathaway’s rep for comment, but did not immediately hear back.

In Christopher Nolan’s newly released adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey, the Mother Mary actress portrays Penelope, the clever wife of the long lost Greek king of Ithaca, Odysseus (Matt Damon).

‘Yes, of course, I connected to it because of the things that are going on in my personal life, being a mom, lucky enough to be married to the love of my life,’ Hathaway said.

‘But even if I didn’t have that, it was all in Chris’ script. And what I saw was a story that I think a lot of people will relate to, which is a story of somebody who feels trapped by circumstance, is in danger because of it and, as a result, she has to play a perfect game.

‘Because people aren’t perfect because they feel safe. They’re perfect because they’re scared that something bad is going to happen, and so now it feels revealing to say “Well, I related to that!”‘

Penelope raised their son Telemachus (Tom Holland) while using a mulтιтude of schemes to fend off potential suitors during her husband’s 20-year absence, during which he welcomed 10 children with other women.
