Les Miserables star Anne Hathaway famously lost a bunch of weight to play Fantine in the upcoming adaption. Now, she can’t stop thinking about her weight.
Anne Hatthaway lost 25 pounds for Les Miserables but she admits that body image is always a battle for her.

Hathaway was still getting over her long-term relationship with jailed Italian con man Raffaello Follieri when she met Shulman.

“I would never have gotten married if it weren’t for him,” she said. “You have to want to be married to someone. You have to feel that reciprocated. Marriage for marriage’s sake doesn’t make any sense to me, and I found someone with whom I could put my money where my mouth is, I guess.”
