Anne Hathaway Heads Off 'Fat Shame' by Explaining Her Weight Gain Is for a Movie

Don't even bother, Hathahaters.

Anne Hathaway knows the drill. If she shows up in a paparazzi or premiere photo looking a bit thicker, people are going to have a lot to say. So she's getting ahead of that conversation by providing some context in advance -- she's filming a movie that requires body transformation. (Can we call all weight changes for movies Pulling a Bale? It's fun.)

It appears that the role isn't just eating junk food, which is our current life role. She's clearly putting on some muscle, since she shared her weight gain intel with a workout montage video:

I am gaining weight for a movie role and it is going well. To all the people who are going to fat shame me in the upcoming months, it's not me, it's you. Peace xx PS- I wanted to set this to Queen's "Fat Bottomed Girls" but copyright said no. Continued peace xx

Hathaway, 35, didn't reveal the movie she's working on. She's in the "Ocean's 8" movie opening June 8, but that completed filming. She also has post-production credits for movies "The Hustle" and "Serenity." Maybe it's for the "Barbie" movie? But that doesn't really make a lot of sense -- especially since that release date was pushed back to 2020.

It's possible she's slipping in another movie between the completed projects and "Barbie." Until she announces the movie, or a production company release more details, we'll just have to stay mildly curious. But not so curious that we can't just leave her to it for a while.
