Anne Hathaway is not on a crash diet according to a statement made by her representative.
It was reported last week that the Oscar nominated actress was consuming just 500 calories a day for her role as Fantine in the new adaptation of Les Miserables.
Her rep has revealed that she is dropping a few pounds for the role but it is not as severe as the tabloids are making out.
In a statement the representative said: "She is losing weight for the part, but not that much. Just enough for her to look more frail, as she is playing a dying prostitute.
"She is consuming more than 500 calories. [The tabloids] are making something of nothing, as usual."
Hathaway has joined an all star cast that includes Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and Amanda Seyfried as the popular musical is brought to the big screen by Tom Hooper.
The movie is the first project for Hooper since his Oscar success for The King's Speech.
We will be seeing Hathaway back on the big screen this summer as she takes on the role of Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises.
Filming on Les Miserables is currently underway and it will be released next January.
