Two thin squares of dried oatmeal paste a day will definitely keep the pounds away!
Anne Hathaway, who dropped 25 pounds to play Fantine in Les Miserables, reveals her shocking and dangerous diet secrets in the December 2012 issue of Vogue, admitting that she starved herself to a crazy extent, and Breaking Celebrity News has the details.
The 30-year-old actress, who recently tied the knot to Adam Shulman, lost 10 pounds before she starting shooting the film by going on a strict cleanse, which resulted in a "gossamer quality" for the early scenes of the movie, but the next phase of the diet was a little more dangerous.
She took two weeks off filming and lost an additional 15 pounds by nearly starving herself on two thin squares of dried oatmeal paste a day.
"I had to be obsessive about it—the idea was to look near death," she explains about the dangerous diet. "Looking back on the whole experience—and I don’t judge it in any way—it was definitely a little nuts. It was definitely a break with reality, but I think that’s who Fantine is anyway."
