Renee Zellweger: Afraid for her health if there's a Bridget Jones 3

Posted on Dec 16th 2007 11:07AM by Martha Edwards
Renee Zellweger is most recognizable for her roles in the smash hits Bridget Jones' Diary and its sequel, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. But if given the chance, would she reprise the role for a third time to play the portly single girl in a third installment of the movie? The answer is a definite maybe.

Why just maybe? Zellweger is concerned about her yo-yoing weight, after she famously piled on pounds to play Bridget before. According to The Daily Mail, she says, "Can I just tell yu my body is whacked by the time we finish one of those. Did you see that movie about fast food, Supersize Me? "I had a panic attack with all the specialists talking about how bad this is for you, long term, putting on that much weight in short periods of time and they're all saying, 'You must stop this now or you're going to die'."

And what about the process of gaining? "(Gaining weight for a movie role) sounds like heaven ... Fantasies about non-stop chocolate consumption or your fantasies about ordering the pizza and the spaghetti and the garlic bread. Then after a week your glucose levels are going crazy. You're up and down and all over the place. It doesn't feel good"

As for the losing, "It was horrible," said Renee. "On one side it's fantastic because you get to go back to taking care of yourself, so you feel wonderful, but the first lap around the track I felt like I had a toddler on my back."

Hm. Interesting. I'm curious ...
