Anne Hathaway thinks her short hair makes her look like her "gay brother."

The Les Miserables actress - who chopped off her long brunette locks while filming the movie - has revealed she thinks her pixie cut makes her look more masculine despite vowing to keep the style.

According to gossip website RadarOnline.com, the 29-year-old actress revealed at a screening for the movie in New York on Friday she was initially terrified to look in the mirror after cutting her hair but was comforted to see a familiar face. "When I eventually looked in the mirror, I just thought I looked like my gay brother," she said.

But it seems the actress now loves her new shorter hair as she recently told the December issue of Vogue magazine that she plans to keep it: "I love the short-haired lifestyle. I'm turning 30, and - I hope this isn't obnoxious to say - I feel prettier, and much more myself. I guess I just feel much more satisfied with less now."
