Anne Hathaway may play a prostitute in Les Mis├â┬⌐rables, but that doesn’t mean her character Fantine doesn’t care about animals!
Due to her hardcore vegan status, Anne required animal-free shoes for filming, which was no easy feet feat for the film’s costume designer, Paco Delgado.
Delgado explained:
“She’s vegan, so we couldn’t use any animal materials on the shoes for her character Fantine. We had to find very specific shoemakers to create lace-up boots and ankle boots.”
We doubt it didn’t take much convincing on Paco’s part. Who wouldn’t want their shoes to be on Anne Hathaway’s feet in one of the most anticipated movies of the year?
And even if it was a challenge, we’re glad the crew stood by Annie and her values!
