The Bridget Jones series is all set to go for a third installment, but they are waiting to hear from one very key person -- Ms. Jones herself, Renee Zellweger. Apparently Zellweger isn't quite sure if she is ready to reprise her role, and some are speculating that the reason she is holding out is because she doesn't want to pack on the extra pounds again.
For the first two Bridget Jones movies, Zellweger had to put 30 pounds on her usually small frame to prepare for the role. Before filming Bridget Jones's Diary, Zellweger went from a size 8 to a size 12.
Her weight gain diet is made of the stuff every woman wishes she could eat on a regular basis -- lavish breakfasts and lots of carbs!
For breakfast alone, Zellweger would eat eggs benedict with a side of French toast and syrup, along with four slices of bread topped with butter and cream cheese. The rest of her day would include curried lunches, steaks for dinner and chocolate bars and milkshakes as snacks. In total, Zellweger would eat 12 meals a day.
With all that food, it's no wonder Zellweger isn't so sure about making a third movie for the film series.
