Anne Hathaway in Les Misérables
In Les Misérables Anne Hathaway was far from her comfort zone of films such as The Princess Diaries or The Devil Wears Prada, where she plays a real princess or a New York princess.
Hathaway admits she was obsessed with the role because that was the only way to make it convincing. For example, she ate nothing but oatmeal paste for weeks and lost 25 pounds to look appropriate for her part.
