Buzzed Anne Hathaway: Slim on the "Les Miserables" Set

She’s dedicated to her craft, and Anne Hathaway has taken drastic means to get into her character while filming “Les Miserables.”

The “Get Smart” actress, who was spotted alongside co-star Hugh Jackman on the set on Wednesday (April 18), plays doomed prostitute Fantine in the flick and has survived on just 500 calories a day since pre-production to really look authentically frail.

An insider told press, “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.”
