Renee
Zellweger's Ideas for Bridget Jones 3
3/14/08
Renee Zellweger has a great idea for a third Bridget Jones's Diary
movie, and will play the singleton on the big screen again - as long as
she doesn't have to pile on the weight.
The actress has padded out to play Helen Fielding's literary heroine in
two movies to date, winning over cinema audiences and critics alike with
her portrayal of the unlucky-in-love Brit.
It has been four years since the last film Bridget Jones: The Edge of
Reason
- but Zellweger hasn't ruled out a return.
She says, "If it works into my life and it's worthwhile and
interesting. It depends on there being another book, of course. I would
love to read how she's been. Actually, I would love her to go to L.A. and
have a baby."
But she says of the weight issue: "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. The health professionals
were warning me about not continuing the project any further.
"(It was) absolutely horrible (losing the weight). The first lap
around the track, I felt like I had a small toddler attached to my
back."
