 Photo via Splash Pretend for a moment that you are Renée Zellweger. You regularly sleep with extra pillows that you don't accidentally injure yourself against your clavicle while sleeping. You squint at everything, as though perhaps envisioning that the Entertainment Tonight reporter is actually a hot fudge sundae. And the role you are perhaps most known for? It's one where you increased your body weight by at least 20 percent. You dropped the weight as soon as you dropped the accent, but then ramped back up for the sequel, gaining more weight, dropping even more. And then someone comes to you and proposes a third go at being Ms. Bridget Jones, Sex Maniac Extrodinaire and Colin Firth Chew Toy. Do the visions of sugared doughnuts dance in your head? Does it cloud your vision? Is this similar to the euphoria women feel when they find out they are pregnant and have the "eating for two" excuse for socially acceptable indulging? Well, it looks like Renée is holding her guns and just might be wearing a fat suit in the third installment. It wouldn't be the first time that the latex poundage was employed in a movie. Even little Abigail Breslin was wearing some artificial chubbiness in Little Miss Sunshine. Should actors attempt to gain weight for roles, like Russell Crowe did for The Insider? Or should they just fat suit up and save their metabolism from the yo-yo dieting? What do you think? The comments are asking you to go to work wearing one of these. 5 CommentsLeave a comment |

If the item in question makes you all of a size 10, at most--should it even be CALLED a "fat suit"?
Actors are paid based on how they look, so yeah say she should gain the weight.
What a toughie. I get the realism for the film, but I can also see Renee's point. This is the 3rd movie, and this would make for a third time that she puts her body through gaining and dropping weight. That's a lot of stress on a body, and I can see why she would not want to do it...I agree too with whyme63. Bulking up to a 10 is not a "fat" suit.
I think she should gain weight - but not for any role. She should just add a few pounds. Period. Her gauntness is making her look older than she is. Anyone remember her from Empire Records? (yeah, I wore grunge in high school) I thought she looked fabulous there - her today + about 10 lbs.
That said, I think our society is messed up to make anyone jerk around their natural metabolism just for the entertainment of others. If we allowed actresses to be differing sizes instead of a cookie-cutter zero, then we wouldn't even have this problem in the first place.
i don't care what she does. i am likely to not see it just like all the other bridget jones movies. over the whole thing.
love, love, love this blog though!
