Renee Zellweger to wear fatsuit for Bridget Jones?
RENEE ZELLWEGER won’t be piling on the pounds to reprise her role as BRIDGET JONES – the actress is reportedly planning to don a fat suit for filming.
The petite star has signed on for a third film about the hapless diary-keeper, after the first two movies grossed more than $544 million (£363 million) worldwide.
But instead of embarking on a high-fat diet as she did for the 2001 and 2004 pictures, Zellweger will turn to the wardrobe department to make her appear larger.
A source tells Britain’s Reveal magazine, “Renee will be wearing a fat suit in the third film as it took her a while to lose the weight last time. She’s also thinking about the effect quickly putting on and then losing 30 pounds (13.6 kilograms) has on her body.”
Colin Firth and Hugh Grant are also expected to return to the movie franchise – the upcoming film is rumoured to chart Jones’ quest to have a baby in her 40s.

Renee hasn’t even confirmed that she’s doing BJ3, but she said that if she did she wouldn’t mind putting the pounds back on, this sounds like BS to me.
glad to have the site back!

I am very glad to hear our favorite star is wearing a suit to make her appear to gain weight.Renee is still very young(and beautiful),but I believe it is wise to avoid gaining and dieting weight off for a movie role. Maybee in the earlier times she may have felt it necessary to do this,but nowadays there is absolutely no doubt that she is an expert at her craft and she should not challenge her health for another film.I would like to think she would be doing the classics several decades from now without a care in the world healthwise. I know from my own personal experience (I have weight issues) that this is not good….afterall one must be in great shape in case some lost driver runs into our car…hehe.(probably not that funny).. Best Wishes Fair Lady, David
