To portray the character of Fantine in Les Misérables, Anne Hathaway was extremely dieting and was rumored to have been eating as little as 500 calories in a day. This measure was part of her preparations to portray the devastating collapse of the character into poorness and sickness. The extreme weight loss had been made up of mainly two squares of dried oatmeal paste per day on Hathaway's diet. Although it gave her the emaciated look, the diet was unhealthy and made Hathaway feel drained both physically and mentally.
