She took the brave step of shaving off her hair to play a diseased waif in the movie adaptation of the musical, Les Misérables.
But Anne Hathaway wasn’t too shocked when she looked in the mirror after losing her shoulder length hair because she saw a familiar face – her gay brother!
Speaking at a New York screening of the movie on Friday, Hathaway said: “When I eventually looked in the mirror I just thought I looked like my gay brother.”
It’s not the first time the actress has spoken about her gay older brother Michael. Two years ago she told British GQ that she and her family left the Catholic Church because of its stance on homosexuality after he came out.
Hathaway said: “The whole family converted to Episcopalianism after my elder brother came out. Why should I support an organization that has a limited view of my beloved brother?”
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Hathaway was so dedicated to playing the role of Fantine in Les Misérables that she shed 25 pounds from her already thin frame.
She lost the final 15 pounds by eating just two thin squares of dried oatmeal paste a day.
Hathaway said: “I had to be obsessive about it – the idea was to look near death.”

She's getting on my last nerve and she's barely even started Oscar campaigning fuuuuuuucccc
Also why refer to him as 'gay' why not just say 'my bald headed brother'?
But I guess she threw in the 'gay' for liberal cool points rme.
She knows she has it in the bag, why can't she just quietly win....ugh
She wouldn't be our ~Annie~ if she didn't! She kind of reminds me of Reese Witherspoon in Election.
I wonder if she'll be worse after the Oscar...
I think she will and the stans will have the ~validation~ argument to cling to. should be fun.
A baby for an Oscar! Well, she wouldn't be the first one to use that so w/e.
That round table was weird, she doesn't know how to be smooth about it.
She only needed to have said it once "I want a baby real bad and I would like one soon" but noooooo
She's probs mad Batman filming got in the way of her getting knocked up in time for awards season.
Natalie Portman must be chuckling while stroking a white cat, like "Hathaway you amateur"
Oh, sigh, we made it through Portman, we can make it through this bb.
Or maybe that's just what I want...
Idk, she just comes across as really obnoxious when she goes 'Full Theatre Brat' like she did at the Oscars when she was hosting.
Next best thing to a baby
i really hope she doesn't win an oscar, but she probably will. -_-
