Anne Hathaway's husband Adam Shulman was laying back on the beach oblivious that his wife was almost drowning and screaming for help, according to the report by the New York Post's Page Six website.
Anne Hathaway nearly drowned while vacationing in Oahu, Hawaii, on Wednesday.
According to the report of The Hollywood Reporter, Anne Hathaway got caught up in a riptide, and her husband, Adam Shulman, lay out of earshot on the beach oblivious to his wife's peril. A surfer then came to her rescue.
According the New York Post's Page Six, Anne Hathaway began waving her arms and screaming as the waves engulfed her, catching the attention of the local man who ran down the beach to her aid with a boogie board.
Photos of the dramatic incident show Anne's short-haired head bobbing under the water as her hands flail in the air.
Once back safely on dry land, Anne Hathaway was attended to by Adam Shulman, who carefully bandaged up a cut on her left foot that had been caused by a sharp coral reef.
Fortunately, she seemed to quickly recover from the traumatic experience and was seen later that day posing with fans for pictures on the beach.
Anne Hathaway is part of Christopher Nolan's next movie "Interstellar". A teaser of the film released a few weeks ago.
Though the new teaser for Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar" leaves something to be desired when it comes to actual scenes from the sci-fi film, the message delivered by Matthew McConaughey is quite inspiring.
"We've always defined ourselves by the ability to overcome the impossible," McConaughey is heard saying over footage of important events in history. "And we count these moments, these moments where we dare to aim higher, to break barriers, to reach for the stars."
Starring McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Casey Affleck and Michael Caine, Interstellar is about a group of explorers who make use of a newly discovered wormhole to surpass the limitations on human space travel and conquer the vast distances involved in an interstellar voyage.
"Interstellar" hits theaters Nov. 7, 2014.
