Anne Hathaway, who plays sickly prostitute Fantine in
the big screen adaptation of the hit musical 'Les Miserables,' has said
that she had a gruelling time filming the movie, as she had to lose a
drastic amount of weight.
She put herself on a near-starvation diet of two thin squares of dried oatmeal a day during the shoot and ended up losing 11kg.
"I had to be obsessive about it - the idea was to look near death," the Daily Telegraph quoted her as telling Vogue US.
"Looking back on the whole experience - and I don't judge it in any way - it was definitely a little nuts.
"It was definitely a break with reality, but I think that's who Fantine is anyway," she said.
When filming finished she was in "such a state of deprivation - physical and emotional."
"When I got home, I couldn't react to the chaos of the world without
being overwhelmed. It took me weeks till I felt like myself again," she
said.
Hathaway said that her new husband, Adam Schulman, helped her get through the ordeal.
"The first time I really threw everything into a part, which was when
I did Rachel Getting Married, there was no one waiting for me when I
got back. This time, Adam was there," she said.
"He gets what I do and who I am and supports me in it, and that's pretty awesome," she added. (ANI)
