When Kimmel asked the actress about the potential of having more kids, Hathaway revealed that she was undecided.
She explained, "Yeah, I don't know. I don't know . . . like some minutes I'm like, 'Yes, absolutely,' and some minutes the world scares me too much. And I think I've got two healthy ones and that feels really great."
Considering the current stressful situation of dealing with a pandemic, her uncertainty makes sense.
When Kimmel questioned her about feeling guilty bringing children into the world right now, she answered, "I think we all do, man. I think we're all worried about [the future]. It's a slim window and it's a closing window but it still feels like we have that opportunity, that we can give them a better future than the worst, worst, worst prognosis, but, you know, it's now. It's happening. It's that time."
With this all in mind, Hathaway also opened up about her own experiences with worry during the pandemic--and the steps she took to keep her family safe.
She told the talk show host, "You know those little magical thoughts that you have that kind of keep you going, keep your anxiety at bay? And you're just like, 'As long as I do this thing, everything's gonna be fine'? So, I decided that it would keep my family safe if I put tape around all of our light switches and our doorknobs, because I was just like, 'I'm so smart. I'm so smart. These are the most oft-touched surfaces. And we'll just remember to wash our hands and put Lysol on them.'"
It wasn't until her husband questioned the tape that Hathaway realized it might not be the most effective method of keeping everyone safe.
She continued, ""He saw what I'm working on and he's just like, 'What? Why? Why?' and I explained the reason to him . . . and then it was so embarrassing because they did nothing. And then they started to peel and we just had sad tape coming off of everything for months."
