Both shared details about the pressures related to image and physical appearance. In particular, Anne Hathaway revealed the valuable advice given by Meryl Streep before filming. When asked about the advice, Anne recalled: “You told me to eat a hamburger.” Meryl Streep emphasized the industry’s pressure on her image, noting that she advised Anne not to give in to the weight loss expectations imposed by others.
Expressing her distaste for the industry’s demands, Meryl reiterated her firm stance by saying that she would not allow such demands to be made of her. Her posture highlights the strength and authenticity of a veteran actress. Anne Hathaway later shared the complexity of the situation as she was initially asked to gain weight and then later lose weight to conform to film industry standards. She revealed the difficulties she faced during this process, from asking for weight gain to tears when having to lose the pounds again to fit into the costumes.
