Anne Hathaway refuses to divulge any more details on
how she dropped 25 pounds for her role in new movie musical Les Meserables
because she doesn't want to give impressionable young girls any ideas.
The dedicated
star went on a strict diet, so she could authentically portray desperate
prostitute Fantine in the upcoming film, and she recently confessed to
reporters she only ate two dried squares of oatmeal paste a day to get to her
ideal weight.
But, after
repeatedly fielding questions about her eating habits, Hathaway has now vowed
to remain tight-lipped on the other methods she adopted to attain her
alarmingly thin frame, so other women don't try and emulate her.
She tells U.S.
breakfast show Today, "Honestly, it's upsetting to talk about. I get
nervous talking about it because I find that I don't want to be seen as trying
to glamorise it.
"There's a lot of talk, a lot of pressure, especially on young
girls, to lose weight and what I did, I didn't do it to get hot; I did it to
look like I was dying. So I don't want to be seen as, in talking about it,
giving it more weight... Do not do this at home."
