Jeremy StrongandAnne Hathawayplay husband and wife in the new coming-of-age dramaArmageddon Time, while in real life the two share a special bond.
In this week’s issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday, the pair recall first meeting while making the 2019 filmSerenity.
Says Hathaway, “I think the bond became stronger and more personal after that because I spent time with Jeremy’s character onSerenity. It was so lovely when we had the personal moments on that film.”
The Oscar winner, 39, describes how their “lives kind of opened up in a similar way at a similar time in that we both became parents at roughly the same time.”
“From my perspective,” she says, “this gorgeous friendship has taken root.”

“We didn’t talk very much when we were making this,” admits theSuccessionEmmy winner. “We did when we needed to. I think there’s a tacit trust that I know that I feel toward Annie and I think we both felt with each other. We have a shorthand with each other.”
