Celeb in Distress! Anne Hathaway Battles the Ocean

Hawaii is like paradise, a place to relax and forget all your cares … unless you're Anne Hathaway.

The Oscar-winning actress had none of that Wednesday as she vacationed with her husband of little more than a year, Adam Shulman, on a beach in the Aloha State. Photographs show the 31-year-old star being caught in a riptide during a dip in the ocean, even waving her hands while submerged under the water. Once Hathaway returned to shore, Shulman sweetly cleaned and bandaged a wound on her foot. Aw!

Although the "Les Miserables" star appeared to be very much in distress during the incident, her rep insisted that she is "absolutely fine. " He joked, "Tabloids and gossips making a bigger deal out of something — I never heard of such a thing!"

Then again, perhaps Hathaway was just being dramatic! She was later seen strolling along the beach with her hubby.
