ANNE HITS THE BOTTLE FOR SOME METHOD ACTING

Monday September 1,2008

ANNE Hathaway has her own tried and tested method for acting tired or old – she just gets drunk.

The doe-eyed Devil Wears Prada and Becoming Jane star goes out on the town the night before such scenes.

The 25-year-old American actress says of one unnamed movie: “We were filming a take once where my character
had aged. We had tried shooting a few scenes and we all still looked fairly young underneath all of our make-up.

“So we were just trying out ideas and I suggested, ‘What if we got drunk the night before and came in feeling hung over the next day? I think we would come in feeling a bit rough and maybe that would make us a little tired and have a little less energy so we look older’.

“So we all did it and it worked. Now I swear by it.”

Give it 10 years, Anne, and you won’t need to bother with a drink or two when you want to give the director your best ashen-faced look.
