Anne Hathaway Finally Addresses ‘Distracting’ Facelift Rumors

Anne Hathaway lays the cosmetic narrative to rest once and for all!

The Hollywood icon finally caved in to the unending noise around her appearance, explaining that a cosmetic procedure is not responsible for her famed beauty.

Anne Hathaway was named the Most Beautiful Woman earlier in the year by a magazine, where she admitted some harsh truths about beauty, career, and family life in the interview.

The actress took advantage of her new interview with Elle Magazine to debunk the rumor of her getting a facelift. According to her, addressing the whole report was never part of the plan, but it had gone on for so long that she felt obligated to right these wrongs. In her words:

“We’re at a time when people feel very confident in assuming what they think is fact, and sometimes what they think is accurate, and sometimes it’s not.”

In the May 21st interview, Hathaway noted that she even shared a hack to plump the lips alongside the braid trick to quench the conversation around her face.

The actress added that getting a facelift is a serious medical decision, and people presumed that she would do something that extreme when all she did was get two braids done.

The ‘Mirror Mirror’ Star Might Take The Big Facelift Step One Day 

Hathaway did not, however, erase the possibility of actually getting a facelift sometime in the future, but when the criticisms come, she would be better equipped to handle it; something her younger self never had the capacity to do.

She noted that the criticism of her career earlier on exposed her to fear that made her treat herself so harshly. The actress continued that looking back at how she conducted herself then, she realized she might also have been harsh to other people, and she gets nauseous thinking about it.

Hathaway evolved from a teen Disney star into one of the most sought-after talents in Hollywood with several awards to her name. The actress won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, a Golden Globe, and a BAFTA for her devastating portrayal of Fantine in the 2012 musical “Les Misérables.”

Anne Hathaway Changed Her Diet For A Movie Role

As noted by The Blast, in 2022, Hathaway got into the vegan lifestyle during her preparations for the role of Rebekah Neumann in the Apple TV+ series “WeCrashed.”

The TV star went a step further than just a plant-based diet and avoided animal products altogether, and even went raw or cooked at low temperatures.

On “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” Hathaway admitted that the role of Rebekah inspired her to try out veganism. Hathaway explained that veganism was something that she loved, and at the time, she thought she might do this for real, since she had tried before and it did not work out.

The switch, however, was not to be permanent, as only a few weeks after shooting, Hathaway started to crave meat once more and eventually gave up the vegan diet.

Having been named the Most Beautiful Woman by PEOPLE magazine and even appearing on the cover for May 2026, Hathaway added another feather to her cap. The Blast stated that the actress shared her insight during the interview about the concept of beauty, motherhood, and life in Hollywood.

She recalled that one day, an actor told her that beauty can still have blemishes as long as it is accompanied by honesty and truth. The actress continued that the concept has inspired her to alter her perspective on beauty, and it has remained with her since.

In sharing her training regimen, the “The Devil Wears Prada” star also praised her longtime trainer, Monique Eastwood, for collaborating on personal projects for over four years. She revealed that Eastwood’s ballet, HIIT, Pilates, and yoga classes have helped her maintain her figure.

Anne Hathaway Is On A Stress Free Mission For Her 40s

After taking over for more than two decades in Hollywood, Hathaway admitted she is now taking a lighter and happier attitude to life. The Oscar-winning actress talked about the self-imposed constraints she imposed on herself when she started.

Hathaway revealed that when she began acting, she thought that it would make her a better artist if she were too hard on herself. But when she turned 40, that all changed, and she ceased to seek perfection and started to savor life and success.

The actress continues that she does not want stress to be a major part of her life anymore; instead, she cherishes the fun, being real, and having people around her who can share the joy and laugh with her when it gets tough.

One thing is true: Anne Hathaway is beautiful across all boards, time, and seasons!
