Hollywood star Anne Hathaway (43) brushed aside recent plastic surgery rumors and asserted her presence by being named the "most beautiful woman in the world."
On the 20th (local time), People magazine announced Anne Hathaway as the cover model for its May issue and as "the most beautiful woman of the year." In the released photo spread and interview, Hathaway spoke candidly about films, married life, and what beauty means to her.
Having recently been swept up in reckless plastic surgery rumors, Hathaway defined beauty in this interview by saying, "A film producer once told me, 'Beauty can include ugliness as long as it contains truth.' For me, beauty has always followed that line," emphasizing inner truth over outward appearance.
A mother of two, she credited personal trainer Monique Eastwood for helping her maintain a healthy figure. Hathaway explained, "Her approach, which combines ballet, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), Pilates and yoga, is brilliant. Having worked with her for more than four years, she has positively changed everything."
She did not forget to express gratitude to her family. About her husband Adam Shulman, whom she married in 2012, she praised him as "the best partner who keeps the household grounded when I work," and about her two sons she showed humility, saying, "Not everyone who wants to be a parent can become one, so having two pregnancies and births go smoothly was truly a great fortune."
Especially, Hathaway lamented that when she played Catwoman in the film The Dark Knight Rises, public attention was focused solely on weight loss. She said, "Director Christopher Nolan was not concerned about my weight. He only wanted me to be strong enough to perform all the stunts myself," and expressed her belief, "I wished people would ask not 'how much weight did you lose' but 'how much stronger did you become.'"
Meanwhile, Anne Hathaway has an astonishing five films slated for release this year, and in the recently released musical drama Mother Mary she delivered a passionate performance as a pop star.
