“I have so many feelings about this that I don’t even know how to articulate them,” Hathaway said. “It fills me with so much joy… I love Chris and Emma Nolan so much and being invited into their world is one of the best places you can find.” Being invited twice felt special, but three times? That would have been greedy, so I never hoped that would happen. The fact that it is like this makes me emotional. It makes me feel like I’m doing something right.”
