ANNE Hathaway has apologized to the disabled community after playing an evil character with limb differences in her new film, The Witches.

The actress, 37,  has faced backlash for playing a witch with three fingers on each hand and toe-less feet in the new adaptation of Roald Dahl's 1983 book.

Critics and disability advocates accused the film of demonizing people with split hands, or ectrodactyly. Anne responded to the outrage with a statement on Instagram on Thursday, saying she was sorry for the "pain caused" to disabled people.

The Les Miserables star added that she "detests cruelty" and that she "did not connect limb difference with the GHW [Grand High Witch] when the look of the character was brought" to her.
