However, her striking figure as Catwoman in <em>The Dark Knight<\/em> seemed to turn the most heads.

Hathaway was consuming about 1,500-1,800 calories a day and getting most of her protein from high protein grains. Her weight tops headlines as we roll in to 2026 for her dangerously thin appearance in the feature film Les Miserables.
