Anne Hathaway has said she's gaining weight for a film role, pre-empting any fat-shamers by telling them "it's not me, it's you".

She shared a workout video on Instagram to show part of a routine she's using to change her body shape for the film.

It shows the actress lifting weights as part of a bodybuilding programme with her personal trainer.

Hathaway, 35, added that she originally wanted the video to be set to Queen's Fat Bottomed Girls.

She wrote: "I am gaining weight for a movie role and it is going well. To all the people who are going to fat shame me in the upcoming months, it's not me, it's you. Peace xx.

"PS I wanted to set this to Queen's Fat Bottomed Girls but copyright said no. Continued peace xx."

Whilst The Devil Wears Prada star has not revealed what the weight transformation is for, she does have a number of projects that could be behind the weight gain.
