Anne Hathaway Loved Beating Up Men 'Too Much' In Dark Knight Rises

Anne Hathaway enjoyed beating up men ''a little too much'' in 'The Dark Knight Rises'.

The 29-year-old actress plays Catwoman in the Batman movie, and she loved grappling with guys in a more action-packed role than she usually takes on.

Speaking at the European premiere of 'The Dark Knight Rises' at London's Leicester Square last night (18.07.12), she told BANG Showbiz: ''Being in the movie was fun because I had to learn to beat up guys - I enjoyed that a little too much.''

Christian Bale reprises his role as Batman/Bruce Wayne in the third movie in Christopher Nolan's trilogy, and Anne found the 38-year-old star ''really inspiring'' to act alongside.

She added: ''The first minute you work with Christian Bale it's just amazing. I found him to be really inspiring. It was really great to work with him.''

The brunette beauty looked stunning in a white designer dress beaded with silver sequined flowers at the premiere, and she admitted she loved wearing her skin-tight cat-suit in the blockbuster.

She explained: ''I probably should've felt more pressure playing Catwoman because of her history but I knew who was directing me so I focused on trusting Chris.

''I felt so lucky to be the one wearing the cat-suit, I just loved wearing it every chance I got.''

Anne was joined at the premiere by fellow cast members Christian Bale and his wife Sandra 'Sibi' Blazic, Tom Hardy and his fiancee Charlotte Riley, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Cillian Murphy and Morgan Freeman.

'The Dark Knight Rises' is released tomorrow (20.07.12).
