Anne Hathaway injured her foot while swimming in Hawaii.

The 'Les Miserables' actress, who has been holidaying on the island of Oahu with her husband, Adam Shulman, for several days, hurt herself after she got into difficulty in a strong rip current close to the beach.

The 31-year-old star began screaming for assistance and a nearby surfer rushed to assist her back to safety, according to gossip website RadarOnline.com.

Eyewitnesses said the Oscar-winner's husband was on the beach at the time of the incident and rushed to meet her with a first-aid kit as she was brought ashore.

The brunette beauty appeared to be distressed as she emerged from the water with a few minor wounds on her foot.

The couple remained on the beach for a while after the scary ordeal, as jewellery designer Adam helped the actress to recover and applied disinfectant to the sole of her foot before kissing her toes.

'The Dark Knight Rises' star thanked her husband by giving him a big kiss on the lips, and appeared to be in good spirits.
