Last month, Meryl Streep made headlines after revealing that Hathaway consulted producers on the sequel to avoid featuring models who were too “skeletal” and “alarmingly thin.”
“I was struck by how not only beautiful and young — everyone seems young to me — but alarmingly thin the models were,” Streep told Harper’s Bazaar in March. “I thought that all had been addressed years ago. Annie clocked it too, and she made a beeline to the producers about it, securing promises that the models in the show that we were putting together for our film would not be so skeletal! She’s a stand-up girl.”
