CLAIM: Anne Hathaway Put on “500 Calories a Day Crash Diet”

Truth rating: 2

4:13 pm, March 30th, 2012

(Daily Mail)

“Anne Hathaway is having to resort to a drastic diet to lose weight to play her latest role,” begins a piece in the Daily Mail.

According to the British tab, Hathaway “has been ordered to lose 16lbs in less than three weeks to play dying prostitute Fantine in the movie adaptation of Les Miserables.”

And to achieve the look of a prostitute who’s sick with tuberculosis, the Mail reports that “instead of eating the recommended daily allowance of 2,000 calories a day, the actress is now down to under 500 to achieve the rapid result.”

A so-called “source” for the paper claims, “Producers have assigned [Hathaway] a personal trainer and she is literally eating nothing more than a couple of apples a day, and some protein – mainly in the form of a shake.”

But while it’s true Hathaway’s character needs to look frail, talk of her practically starving herself is “one big exaggeration,” her rep tells Gossip Cop, noting, “She is on a special diet but is not looking to lose that much weight, and is consuming more than 500 calories a day.”

    I don’t think anyone would be that irresponsible. You need more than 500 calories/say that just to stay alive. She would be able to stand if all she ate was a couple of apples and a protein shake. If anyone told me I had to lose 18lbs in 3 weeks for a role, I would tell them no. And if no meant I didn’t have the job then so be it. I’d rather be alive.

    @Palindrome82 you obviously don’t know how th film industry works. 18lbs in 3 weeks is rapid weight loss but not dangerous through the filming of Philadelphia Tom Hanks had to lose 60lbs to play a daying aids patient which he did and won an oscar for it as mentally/physically ill characters are usually guarenteed to do. for example the actress that plays his mother in that film won an oscar for playing a woman with Multiple Personality disorder the film would be 1957′s The Three Face Of Eve and the Actress is Joanne Woodward who retired from the big screen after her role in Pgiladelphia was done at age 62 because women after a certain age get fewer good roles

    I understand perfectly well that’s why it’s an industry I would never want to enter. I just think it’s insane and very unhealthy to require anyone to lose that amount of weight in that short amount of time. And for what? A movie? Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should.

    I agree, while it is probably not the healthiest thing to do, she is not going to die from losing only 10lb. People who are on VLC diets do not normally die or they would not recommend that obese people go on them before they have weight lose surgery. I am sure the diet she is on is probably under the supervision of some doctor. No one said how unhealthy it was for Rene Zellwegger to gain the amount of weight she had to for Bridgett Jones, in reality it is just as unhealthy to gain as it is to lose.

    There is a diet composed of just protein shakes. People get put on them all the time. I actually think this might be true, sorry GC, but there is a good possibility that she is just drinking shakes and eating apples.

    Anne Hathaway is not obese. She is at a weight point where this type of weight loss would result in a loss of muscle, since she clearly has no fat and that is in no way healthy. 500 calories a day is dangerous if you are not morbidly obese and under a doctors care, and anyone who thinks otherwise needs help and probably has eating disorders. If this is true (and she has said it is not), it is a bit extreme.
