'I had to stop eating for 13 days': Anne Hathaway reveals gruelling Les Misérables diet as she leads cast in eerie photo shoot

The cast of Les Misérables have echoed the haunting tone of their musical movie in a new photo shoot.
And Anne Hathaway, who plays Fantine in the hotly anticipated film, also took the opportunity to open up about starving herself for the role.
The actress shed 25lbs to portray the poverty-stricken factory worker forced to turn to prostitution, and it was no easy task.

She told the new issue of The Hollywood Reporter: ‘I just had to stop eating all for a total of 13 days shooting.’
The 29-year-old shed the weight in two stages: she dropped 10lbs in three weeks before filming, and then 15lbs during production.
But Anne was dedicated from the start – even before she landed the role.

Dream team: (L-R) Hugh Jackman, director Tom Hooper, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Eddie Redmayne, Samantha Barks and Amanda Seyfried
