When she wasn't using her high heels to take down henchmen in The Dark Knight Rises, Anne Hathaway was, as it turns out, chatting to her co-stars about Angry Birds.

In an interview with Digital Spy, the Catwoman actress revealed that Rovio's bird-flinging favourite was the topic of conversation during her first day on the set of Christopher Nolan's final Batman movie.

"I was sitting in between Christian [Bale] and Tom [Hardy], and I was like, 'gosh, this is like a talent sandwich right here'," Hathaway explained.

"I thought, 'what are we going to talk about? Are we going to talk about politics or world events?' We talked about Angry Birds."

Ice(bird)breaker

According to Hathaway, both Bale (who plays Batman in Nolan's wildly successful superhero franchise) and Hardy (who portrays villainous powerhouse Bane in The Dark Knight Rises) are fans of Rovio's squillion-selling game, and they recommended that she try it herself.

Sound advice, there. We always liked that Batman chap. Not so sure about the other guy, though. Looks a bit, errr, iffy.
