I won’t deny that Anne Hathaway lost weight to play Fantine in a dangerous way. And I would NEVER encourage that. But. It’s interesting that Anne Hathaway losing weight for a role and talking about it is OMG BAD EXAMPLE FOR GIRLS EVERYWHERE. She’s too thin! She has a responsibility to model healthy eating!
But when Christian Bale or Matthew McConaughey loses a lot of weight for a role it’s OMG REALLY IMPRESSIVE AND AREN’T THEY SO DEDICATED TO THEIR CRAFT?
Something about that double standard really rubs me the wrong way and I can’t put my finger on why.

I’m trying to remember if I’ve ever come across praise for an actress with regards to her “commitment to her craft” of the type you would see lavished on method actors like Ledger, Bale, DDL, etc.
