The movie star had to lose the bulk she put on to play fighting fit Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises and reveals she lost 25lbs in just over a month to play tragic Fantine in the upcoming movie musical.
Hathaway shed the weight under the supervision of trained medics and insists her diet was "not fun" and shouldn't be copied.
She says: "I lost the first 10lbs in three weeks through a detox and then I lost the subsequent 15lbs in 14 days by doing food deprivation and exercise, which I don't recommend.
"I know when I was a teenage girl ... I would try crazy things and I do not recommend anyone do this at all.
"I was under the supervision of a nutritionist and I had a doctor monitoring me, but it's not fun. You can be too thin."
