Anne Hathaway was "shocked" to get pregnant again.


The Odyssey actress recently revealed she and husband Adam Shulman are expecting a sibling for their sons Jonathan, 10, and Jack, six, and while they "knew what [they] were doing", the couple were still stunned to have their third child on the way.


Speaking to Late Night host Seth Meyers, Anne said: “Oh, my gosh. It’s amazing. It’s amazing. I mean, we knew what we were doing, but we were so shocked it worked.


“We were so shocked it went this way, so we’re calling this one our buzzer-beater."


Seth has three kids himself with wife Alexi Ashe, and so Anne asked for his advice on a larger family - and he told her there is "not much" she can do.


He quipped: "I have three, it's the best. Weirdly, it goes on like autopilot. Once there's three, there's not much you can do except watch.


"It goes from you're terrified, and then it turns into a TV show you just binge. Every day you're like, 'Oh new episode'.


Anne laughed: "Just accept it and enjoy it? Ok, that's great because I love the channel right now, so it's just more of it. Cool, new cast member."


Seth joked: "Make sure you tell the first two, 'We're doing this because you guys are getting stale.' "


The 43-year-old actress recently expressed her hope that all her children grow up to be as "wonderful" as her "dream son" Tom Holland, who plays her offspring Telemachus in The Odyssey.


In a joint interview with Tom, 30, when asked about bringing her "mother energy" to the film and her role as Penelope, she told CTV's e-talk: “Well, first of all, I have to say as a mom in real life, I very much hope all of my children grow up to be as wonderful as my onscreen child.


“Tom is like a dream son. And that, honestly, is kind of like the key to it. We have this amazing script, brilliant actors.”


As Tom almost spat out his drink with laughter, she added: “But also, I just really like Tom."


Anne admitted she, Tom, and Matt Damon - who plays her husband Odysseus in the film - bonded together in wanting to impress their director.


She said: “And I love Chris, and so I just feel like even though this was this big, epic movie, it was really grounded in, like, intimate appreciation of each other, respect for each other.


“I don’t think any of us wanted to let Chris down. So I think we all just kind of harnessed our highest strength and our highest passion, and we just tried to be an actor that was worthy of being in a Chris Nolan movie.”
