The costume worn by Anne Hathaway as Catwoman in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film The Dark Knight Rises wreaked psychological havoc on the star, who had to starve herself first to fit into and then again to portray a starving working class peasant in Les Miserables, according to a new interview with Allure (via MTV’s Splash Page).
“The suit, thoughts of my suit, changing my life so I would fit into that suit, it dominated my year,” the actress is quoted by Splash Page as saying. She also says that constantly being on a diet has caused her to break out, which presumably creates more work for the costume and makeup people.
The comments came as part of a photo parade of images of Hathaway taken over the last thirteen years, wherein she dished secrets on every look she’s had from The Princess Diaries to Brokeback Mountain.
