The Internet was abuzz over the alleged 500-calorie-per-day deprivation diet Anne Hathaway went on to prepare for her portrayal of Fantine in the film adaptation of Les Misérables. While initial reports say Anne was ordered to drop 16 pounds in just three weeks, her publicist said "the numbers were exaggerated." Anne told Vogue that she went on a strict cleanse to lose the first 10 pounds, later taking two weeks off to lose another 15 pounds; her diet consisted of two thin squares of dried oatmeal paste a day.
Anne also dropped weight for her roles in The Devil Wears Prada and The Dark Knight Rises.
