Anne Hathaway turns to alcohol to get into character for difficult scenes

‘We were filming a take once where my character had aged,’ she says. ‘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 hungover 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,"' she tells the Daily Express.

‘So we all did it and it worked. Now I swear by it.’
