Vegan Anne Hathaway flaunts 25-lb weight loss

Actress Anne Hathaway, who lost 25 pounds on a crash diet for the film, "Les Misérables," looks sporty and sassy in the January 2013 issue of Glamour.





The slender 5-foot-8 Anne dons a white tank top and black underwear that accentuate her lean thighs. Hathaway, 30, admitted she essentially starved herself to look the part of the emaciated Fantine in the tragedy, "Les Misérables."

"I had to be obsessive about it; the idea was to look near death," Hathaway told Vogue. "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."

Anne lost 10 pounds before shooting began, and then lost another 15 pounds during a two-week break in filming by eating only two thin squares of dried oatmeal paste a day. Hathaway's competitive personality enabled her to stick to her extreme low-calorie diet.

"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.' "

Transforming herself physically is nothing new for the dedicated Anne, who worked out five days a week to play Catwoman in "The Dark Knight Rises." In addition to gym workouts, Hathaway underwent stunt training, did strength exercises as well as 90 minutes of dance every day.

Anne, who switched to a vegan diet while training for "The Dark Knight Rises," has really embraced the plant-based eating plan.

"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."

That's not why they're calling you obnoxious hun. Of course veganism is beneficial to humans and nonhumans. So is vegetarianism, because every little bit helps. Not everyone has the resources or knowledge about food to go vegan, and not everyone wants to go full vegan because, if you don't have vegan friends, it influences your social life since a lot of places still have no good vegan options.

i agree with you but those who are privileged enough to be vegan should be cause if everyone that could already was, some of those that can't could as well. you know what i mean?

I agree that that would be the best thing for the planet, but meat is a huge part of our culture and it's unrealistic to expect people to readily abandon that. Honestly if your goal is to help everyone eat less meat, "everyone but vegans is terrible for the planet" is the last thing you want to do. Lots of people consider it sacrifice to go a single meal without meat.

I mean hell, I'm a pretty strict vegetarian and I plan to go as close to vegan as possible (as in, I'm not gonna refuse to eat at a place that has no vegan options if my friends want to go there, but I'll cook all vegan at home) and I was basically dismissing you because of how you presented your point.

oh i understand how engraved our culture is in meat eating and animal using, but different cultures are the exact opposite. it's not impossible. i just do what i can to be as abolitionist as i can as long as i can survive. obviously if i am in a situation where i cannot access food that i need to survive that is vegan, i have to compromise and deal with it. but if i am in a place that does give me the OPTION to be vegan, i will be 100% of the time. i don't cry like a baby and not go out with my friends to mcdonalds when they go, but i don't eat anything but the fries and salads there. same goes for any other restaurant. if i know i can get the proper nutrition that i can later that day, then doing that is fine to me. however, some people just simply don't have the means to be vegan and i understand that. it's sad and still wrong, but those people don't have a choice which is perfectly understandable to me.

Not sure where you live, but the McDonalds in America have a beef fat flavoring in the vegetable oil the fries are cooked in, so their fries and hashbrowns are NOT vegetarian. I'm a vegetarian, so I know this and have confirmed it via their website.
