Anne Hathaway: No Weight Worries!

Anne Hathaway is joining the likes of Kate Winslet, by speaking out against dieting and the "skinny fad".

Hathaway said: "I'd rather be strong than skinny for most roles. I'm not a size zero, and I've had directors say to me, 'You're the best actress for the role, but you've put on weight recently'. If people can't understand you've put on 5lbs, I don't want to deal with them."

The actress continued to vent her feelings, obviously distraught and upset over having her weight questioned.

"If you step outside your world and go places where weight isn't the priority, but eating is, because there's not enough food, you can't cry if your thighs aren't an inch skinnier. Obsessing about weight is a waste of time."

According to Monsters and Critics, Hathaway "admits she used to worry about her weight when she was a teenager but is over her body issues now."

She explained: "It's completely understandable as a teenager to fret about your body. It's scary because you don't know how it's going to wind up. But I'm not a teenager any more, my body has chosen its shape."

And it is nothing to be ashamed over, either!
