If anyone knows how to take back the power from body-shaming trolls, it’s Anne Hathaway. 

Throughout her career, she has faced criticism and questions from interviewees regarding her body weight, 

often calling out journalists who go as far as asking her about how much weight she has lost for a particular role (you’ve probably seen the meme).

The actor has been open about the struggles of body image, particularly in such a public-facing, vanity-driven Hollywood, 

where trolls are ready to jump on weight gain like it’s a hobby. 

Thankfully, Hathaway is happy to give them a taste of their own game while also being open and honest to her fans about her body positivity, particularly after having children.

So, we’ve rounded up every time Anne Hathaway has hit back at body-shaming comments and it’s all the sass you need RN.

When promoting One Day and an interviewer asked how she got into a catsuit

When Anne Hathaway was giving an interview promoting One Day, Canadian film critic and TV/radio personality, Chris Van Vliet started asking her about her other film Catwoman. “Fans are really excited about this. It was a couple days ago we finally saw the first photos of you as Catwoman,” he says, asking, “How do you fit into that suit?”

she replied:”It takes three of us and a lot of lead time.” She continues: “Sit-ups, tricep curls and, you know, bench kicks – I don’t know.”

The interviewer pressed for more: “How much weight have you lost to get into this shape right now?” Anne, shocked at the question said, “You did not just ask me that! What a forward young man you are?!”

The interviewer further added, “I’m not saying you needed to lose weight, I’m just saying, you look…”

When another male interviewer asked what her feline fitness regime was

When Anne Hathaway was promoting The Dark Knight Rises an male interviewer asked, “What is the feline fitness regime?” She simply answered one needed to be conscious about their health and workout. The interviewer kept probing to which the actress wittily replied, “Are you trying to lose weight? What’s the deal? You look great. What do you want? Are you trying to fit into a catsuit?”

When Hathaway’s cast members celebrated her postpartum body

There’s nothing quite like a bunch of A-listers celebrating your post-partum body, even when you’re an A-lister yourself, as Hathaway revealed during an interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show ahead of the Oceans 8 release.

Hathaway said: “After I had my son, the weight was really slow to come off and so I was a different size than I normally am.” She added: “I walked on the set, and, I’m in my jeans and I’ve done my best and I’m going to love myself no matter what” she recounted. And Sandy Bullock looks up and goes, ‘Looking good, mama!’ It made me feel amazing! And then Cate Blanchett’s like ‘Nice Jeans Hathaway’ and then Rihanna looks up and says, ‘Damn girl you got an ass, you got an ass like me.’

When she told body-shamers to back off after putting on weight

In an effort to ward off potential haters, back in 2018, Hathaway shared a video of herself working out as she announced that she plans to gain weight for an upcoming movie role. “To all the people who are going to fat shame me in the upcoming months, it’s not me, it’s you. Peace xx,” she wrote. “PS- I wanted to set this to Queen’s “Fat Bottomed Girls” but copyright said no. Continued peace xx”

When she normalised pregnancy weight gain

Sharing a photograph of a pair of cut-off denim jeans, Hathaway penned a message of body positivity, in a bid to remind trolls that, yes, weight can fluctuate during pregnancy – and that no one should never be made to feel bad about it.

She wrote: “There is no shame in gaining weight during pregnancy (or ever). There is no shame if it takes longer than you think it will to lose the weight (if you want to lose it at all).

“There is no shame in finally breaking down and making your own jean shorts because last summer’s are just too dang short for this summer’s thighs.”
