Amanda Seyfried denied herself alcohol while shooting Les Miserables

Amanda Seyfried confessed last year she relies on "Dutch courage" for interviews

Highlights

  • Amanda Seyfried "treated" herself to an alcoholic drink after Les Miserables.
  • The 27-year-old actress - who confessed last year she relies on "Dutch courage" for interviews - banned herself from any intoxicating beverages during filming as she had to keep her voice in top condition for her singing scenes. So the first thing Amanda Seyfried - who plays Cosette in the big screen musical - did when the movie wrapped was pour herself a glass of her favourite tipple.
  • Speaking at The National Board of Review gala in New York City on Tuesday (08.01.13), the blonde beauty mused: "Know how I treated myself after I finally finished 'Les Mis...'? I finally finished a little alcohol. You can't drink when you sing. So when I stopped having to sing, I started being able to enjoy myself."
  • While Amanda struggled with her self-imposed booze ban, her co-star Anne Hathaway admitted her biggest "challenge" was cutting her hair short and she hated it so much she started "trembling" has her locks were shorn. Anne - who shed a whopping 25 pounds for the role of prostitute Fantine - told the New York Post newspaper: "My biggest Les Miserables...' challenge was the hair. Getting it chopped off. I knew it had to go. Knew it was necessary for the character. But I had a physical reaction. I started trembling. I doubt I'll keep it this way."
  • Anne has been nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her performance and although she doesn't want to jinx her chances, the brunette beauty has a vague idea of what she might do if she were to win the prestigious prize. She added: "Too early to discuss [the Oscars] but if ... I'd give it to my mother to keep."
