Renée Zellweger to Pack It On Again for Bridget Jones
Haul out the biscuits and gravy, crispy duck, Snickers, milk shakes, pizza and butter-soaked potatoes – Renée Zellweger's very special diet to get in shape to play Bridget Jones, because the Oscar winner is prepping to play the full-figured singleton once again.
Zellweger, 40, is expected to start filming at the end of this year what will be the third installment about the love-starved British publishing executive, Variety reports.
This time, the story will likely focus on 40-ish Bridget's desire to have a baby before time runs out, as based on author Helen Fielding's weekly newspaper columns for Britain's the Independent, says the showbiz trade publication.
The Oscar winner for Cold Mountain, who was nominated for 2001's Bridget Jones's Diary and also starred in the 2004 sequel, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, recently spelled out what she desires in a man, saying: I'm looking for an encyclopedia and a dictionary. A bit of the Boy Scouts Handbook. A person who is conscientious about the trail he leaves behind him. Love. Unconditional kindness."

Re: Renée Zellweger to Pack It On Again for Bridget Jones
She was 135 Lbs when she made the movies. BY FAR, less than most women in the US. So in essence the movie is saying that most women are HUGE and FAT.

Re: Renée Zellweger to Pack It On Again for Bridget Jones
I am excited there will be a third movie-I love them.
However, there wasn't a third book, was there?
As for the "full figured" comments-that has been going on since this started. It's annoying to think that someone around 130lbs would be considered full figured, but not enough as to end my love of these movies.

She was only in the 130s in those movies?? Maybe she is on the shorter side? I never thought of her as fat but I do know at 140 I looked smaller than her (during that time anyway, lol)...hmmm

Oh! I still would watch the movie. I can't miss a fight of guys fighting like girls. The kicking in the air. I love it!!!!
ETA: allegebly she gained 20-30 Lbs ONLY for those movies. She is very petite so any weight gain would be very visible. But if you look at her thight they are not THAT big in the movie.

Remember though- when the press announces weights of these women it's always skewed down.
Just like Kim K is a size 2.
And every woman in Hollywood weighs 110 pounds.
I think they sign some sort of agreement that all weights and sizes will be reported at least 2 sizes and 15 pounds lower!

It says it's based on her newspaper columns.

Re: Renée Zellweger to Pack It On Again for Bridget Jones
the movie talks about her weight periodically (around 135 lbs i think), as part of her diary. not sure if that was really her true weight though...

Re: Renée Zellweger to Pack It On Again for Bridget Jones
I think I remember the first movie-- she weighed 130-something, but she is also probably lilliputian. Although I did not think she looked heavy AT ALL in the first one.
The second one, she looked HORRIBLE. Not really her body, but her face. She looked like she probably put on more weight.
In the book-- they talk about weight every day, but I mean that's so relative with height, body shape, etc. It's also the character's weight, not Renee's.
ETA-- I am excited for a third Bridget Jones though!!! I love Colin Firth!
