A Short-Haired Anne Hathaway Sings With Hugh Jackman on the Les Misérables Set

Anne Hathaway was in character as Fantine as she shot Les Misérables with Hugh Jackman in London yesterday. The pair are teaming up on the big-screen adaptation of the Broadway hit, which required them both to undergo physical transformations. Anne cut her hair into a choppy pixie cut, while Hugh has previously been seen sporting a bushy beard and a buzz cut as Jean Valjean on the set. Yesterday, however, he had a head full of gray-tinged curls as he and Anne sang from the rooftops. Between takes, Anne bundled up in a parka and shared a few laughs with her costar. Les Misérables boasts several boldfaced names, including Hugh, Anne, and Sacha Baron-Cohen, but it was stage actress and Hollywood newcomer Samantha Banks who landed the role of Epione. The part was a hotly contested one, with Taylor Swift and Lea Michele both said to be in the running during the casting process.
