Skinny VS Curvy

A month ago, various media sources were claiming that Anne Hathaway was on a 500 calories / day diet in order to lose weight for her role as a prostitute in Les Miserables. This week, Daily Mail continues the same story:

Life really is miserable for Hollywood star Anne Hathaway. The 29-year-old, who is filming the musical Les Miserables in London, has been gargling with egg whites every morning to help her voice sound as smooth as possible.

This is on top of a miserly diet – she is reported to be on just 500 calories a day so she can look super-thin in the role of dying prostitute Fantine.

‘Anne isn’t a professional singer and is not used to pushing her voice. She’s not talking for eight hours at a time when she isn’t working and gargling with egg whites to coat her throat and keep her vocals silky-smooth,’ says a source. ‘She knows this is the ultimate test as to whether she’s a credible musical star.’

Details from Daily Mail:

Anne Hathaway is having to resort to a drastic diet to lose weight to play her latest role. The actress, 29, has been ordered to lose 16lbs in less than three weeks to play dying prostitute Fantine in the movie adaptation of Les Miserables.

As fans of the musical classic will know, the single mother ends up with consumption and later appears as a ghost. Although currently a healthy size 10 UK, Hathaway will have to lose over a stone for her realistic portrayal of a hungry, dying prostitute. Instead of eating the recommended daily allowance of 2,000 calories a day, the actress is now down to under 500 to achieve the rapid result.

A film source told the Daily Mirror: ‘Anne is playing a destitute factory worker-come-lady of the night. Unfortunately, she only has 15 to 20 days to lose as much weight as possible – up to a stone-and-a-half – because she’s been filming the scenes showing her fit and healthy, almost slightly chubby. It’s not ideal but, as with any high-budget movie, there are strict time constraints. Producers have assigned her a personal trainer and she is literally eating nothing more than a couple of apples a day, and some protein – mainly in the form of a shake. Anne knows the risk of such an extreme diet and will undergo weekly medicals to make sure everything is still functioning as it should do.’

Hathaway is no stranger to having to lose weight for roles. Last year, she slimmed down to fit into an unforgiving catsuit to play Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises. She started doing Bikram yoga and push-ups and eating vegetables, fish and fruit to shape down. She also lost weight to play Andrea Sachs in The Devil Wears Prada.

What do you guys think? Does this story seem plausible? And what do you make of the ‘almost slightly chubby’ part?

Anne Hathaway is proud to bring today’s little quote:

“I’m a vegetarian but I have a sweet tooth, so I go to this wonderful bakery in New York called BabyCakes. It makes amazing vegan cakes, which are gluten free and often sugar free, egg free and dairy free. The vegan apple pie is incredible – it’s my favourite dish.

I’ve got a cookbook from there and I’ve made just about everything in it. I’m an awesome baker – I’ll give myself credit for that.”

… says Anne.
