Actress Anne Hathaway went through a stunning transformation to play Fantine in the upcoming film musical ?Les Mis?rables.? She not only chopped off her hair, but also lost 25 pounds to play her emaciated character. Here?s how she did it.
Although you?d never guess by her new photo spread in the January issue of Glamour, Hathaway revealed that she literally had to starve herself for her role as the tragic Fantine.
Anne Hathaway: Haircut and Sexy New Look
?I had to be obsessive about it; the idea was to look near death,? Hathaway, 30, told Vogue in a separate interview. ?Looking back on the whole experience, it was definitely a little nuts. It was definitely a break with reality, but I think that?s who Fantine is anyway.?
Fantine?s misfortune begins in Paris where she is wooed by an upperclass gentleman. She falls in love, only to be cruelly rejected when she becomes pregnant. she loses her job when it?s discovered that she has an illegitimate daughter.
She turns to prostitution to get money to pay for Cossett?s care, but she?s arrested after an altercation. The kind Jean Valjean steps in to help her and rescues Cossett from the cruel Th?nardiers. But Fantine dies before she can see her.
The slender 5-foot, 8-inch tall actress says she lost 10 pounds before shooting began, and then lost another 15 pounds during a two-week break in filming.
Her secret was eating only two thin squares of dried oatmeal paste a day. ?I like to fight for a job,? she says. ?You feel like you?ve emerged from the scrap, and you?re like, ?OK, this one?s mine. Did it. Done.? ?
Losing weight was necessary for the role, but Anne has also worked hard to get in shape for other films. She hit the gym five days a week to play Catwoman in ?The Dark Knight Rises.? She did strength exercises as well as 90 minutes of dance every day.
Anne also switched to a vegan diet during ?The Dark Knight Rises,? and has stuck with it. ?I don?t go the soy-meat route; I have a really plant-based diet,? she said.
?So I wind up cooking at home a lot. Kale is amazing. Spelt [a kind of wheat] pasta is amazing. I can?t do the white-flour stuff. It makes me really ill.?
?Les Mis?rables,? which co-stars Amanda Seyfried, Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Eddie Redmayne and Smanatha Barks, hits U.S. theaters Dec. 25.
