Hathaway: Alright, first one up. I donât know that thereâs any secrets to it, itâs just- itâs a pulse, itâs a vein that you follow. In my case thereâs no way that I could relate to what my character was going through. I have a very successful, happy life and I donât have any children that Iâve had to give up- or keep. And so what I did was I tried to get inside the reality of her story as it exists in our world. And to do that I read a lot of articles and watched a lot of documentaries and news clips about sexual slavery. And for me and for this particular story I came to the realization that I had been thinking about Fantine as someone who lived in the past, but she doesnât. Sheâs living in New York City right now sheâs probably less than a block away. This injustice exists in our world and so every day that I was her I just thought this isnât an invention, this isnât me acting, this is me honoring that this pain lives in this world. And I hope that in my lifetime, in all of our lifetimes, like today, that we see it end. Opening on Christmas Day is director Tom Hooper's fantastic adaptation of Les Miserables. Loaded with great performances and top notch filmmaking, Les Mis is absolutely a contender for all the year end awards and it would shock me if Anne Hathaway doesn't win the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her incredible work as Fantine. Her one take rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream" was incredible and it's the type of performance that's unforgettable. For more on the film, here are five clips and all our previous coverage.At the recent NYC press day for the film I got to participate in a press conference with Hathaway, Hugh Jackman (Jean Valjean), Amanda Seyfried (Cosette), Eddie Redmayne (Marius), and Samantha Barks (Ãponine). They talked about making the film, how they prepared for their roles, their characters, singing live on set, and so much more. Hit the jump to either listen to the press conference or read the transcript.If you'd like to listen to the audio from the press conference click here. Otherwise the full transcript is below.Question: First of all it was fantastic. Thereâs a lot of crying in this film- Anne Hathaway: From the audiences or the actors?Anne, Tom mentioned that you practiced crying while singing, and Samantha, you sang with rain coming down onto your face. Iâm always curious about how actors cry on film, the secrets to that, and also how you managed to cry and sing at the same time.
