Anne Hathaway doesn’t appear very comfortable with her newly short hairstyle! The newly engaged actress is taking her Les Miserables role as Fantine extremely serious and maybe embarking on Oscar-worthy exploits with the reportedly drastic moves she’s making: dropping fast weight on a heavily downsized daily calorie intake and a modern day pixie cut.
Yep, the 29-year old brunette with once past-shoulder-length hair has chopped her tresses down to a few inches. If that’s not dedication for a role, we don’t know what is!
The young beauty stepped out Sunday in London, where the movie is being filmed, to flaunt her new look. The sides are a bit shorter than the top while she kept her dark roots.
The role Anne is portraying is a woman whose “beauty deteriorates as she attempts to care for her child (selling both her two front teeth and her hair), turns to prostitution and becomes ill with tuberculosis.”
The 5’9” star goes further than chopping her mane, the actress is also resolved to lose 16 pounds in a three-week span to get into character completely, according to US Weekly.
“Anne is subsisting on a meager 500 calories per day (versus the recommended 2,000), according to the U.K. Daily Mirror.
The actresses’ rep denied such claims stating, “…the numbers are exaggerated in both pounds and calories,” but wouldn’t offer the correct numbers.
Adding to her less-than-exciting eating habits, Anne also put herself through grueling workouts to meet expectations for the film.
“Anne was exercising two hours a day, five days a week!” a source close to the star explains.
It’s hard to tell if Anne is enjoying her short hairstyle as every picture shows her covering her head. Do you think Anne’s dedication to the film is over-the-top or part of her job?
