Anne Hathaway is gearing up for her role as a powerful and evil witch in the upcoming dark fantasy comedy film, The Witches. Recently, the actor took to her Instagram handle and shared a behind the scenes video from the sets of her upcoming film. Anne Hathaway posted a time-lapse video of her getting into the witch prosthetics. In this video, Anne Hathaway can be seen sitting patiently as her team covers her head with multiple layers of what appears to be silicone-goop.

The actor's hair was tied by a string that was attached to the room's ceiling. The multiple layers were further turned into the prosthetics for her wicked role in the film. The video was a time-lapse, which also means that the actual process might have taken hours. In the entire video, Anne Hathaway is seen sitting still as her face gets covered. Underneath those prosthetics, one can spot the actor smiling. Take a look at Anne Hathaway's Instagram video below.
