October 07, 2008Until now you probably remember her mostly from the parts in “The Devil Wears Prada” and “Rachel Getting Married”. Anne Hathaway recently signed for the role of White Queen in “Alice in Wonderland”, a movie directed by Tim Burton. Devil or queen, requirements for a role, when it comes to weight, haven't changed.
For the role in “The Devil Wears Prada”, Anne Hathaway got ready like most actress that need to look as required for that part: extremely thin.
“I basically stuck with fruit, vegetables and fish. I wouldn't recommend that. Emily Blunt and I would clutch at each other and cry because we were so hungry. “In “Becoming Jane”, the delicate, thin, pale figure fitted her role perfectly. The actress revived after six months of training. Ramona Braganza, her four times a week trainer, turned the actress into a superwoman.
Anne also lightened her diet so the regime would be balanced. “You don't do anything sitting down. You do everything standing up or on one leg" said Braganza. The 26-year-old actress was very satisfied with the training and the losing of inches. What she mostly liked was the fact “I didn't torture myself. I did it on my own terms”. Anne Hathaway managed to get her body fit, strengthening her muscles and keeping her natural curves. “Agent 99 is all woman, but she’s tough as nail”, she said. Her breakfast included eggs and steamed vegetable burritos.
The actress said eating consistently and healthy is very important when you’re preparing for a role and working out so hard. For this particular movie, a strong butt was required. Anne recommends a move her trainer taught her: "using a chair or bench, step up leading with your right foot 10 times, and leading with your left foot 10 times for three to five sets. Push through your heel and you get it to work your butt and thigh at the same time".
In June she started losing not only weight, but strength too because of splitting with her Italian boyfriend, Raffaello Follieri. Due to his involvement in money laundering and wire fraud, he’s now awaiting trial, in jail. In the mean time, the actress lost 28 pounds. A source says Anne Hathaway went from size 8 to size 4.
