Renee Zellweger is Gonna Wear a Fat Suit
Renee Zellwger is set to play Bridget Jones in a third installment of the movie, but this time old "razorsharp clavicles" won't be plumping herself up for the role. Instead Renee is pulling a Tyler Perry and plans to wear a fat suit."Renee will be wearing a fat suit in the third film as it took her a while to lose the weight last time," a source tells Britain's Reveal magazine. "She's also thinking about the effect quickly putting on and then losing 30 pounds has on her body." (Source)
I've never seen a Bridget Jones movie, probably because I'm not a loney shut-in who spends my evenings wrapped in a Snuggie, eating ice cream and talking to my cat. But to put myself in the mindset, I can't really think of a way that that's not insulting that Renee Zellweger has to wear a fat suit to still be skinnier than most of the Bridget Jones target audience. They might as well just call it Bridget Jones 3: I'm Not Really This Fat.
Rocking the negative percent body fat at Letterman last month:
How DARE you! I don't own a Snuggie and I haven't had ice cream since developing that embarrassing flatulence problem after consuming dairy products.
if you ask me (i know, i know, you didn't) it's stupid to make her wear the fatsuit. women can relate to bridget jones, and she doesn't HAVE to be overweight for us to continue to relate to her. at first it was a way to show us that she's just like us. but now it's like saying, "we know you won't like her anymore if she's lost weight. the size is the central part of her character that you like." which is not the case.
they could just let her have other insecurities and we'd be fine with this. i feel like this fatsuit thing is movie studios' way of telling us we're stupid, and we need someone to pretend to be our size in order to like them.
What I don't understand about Renee Zellwegger is why she insists on making that look with her lips. In that she constantly does it while photographing its obvious she thinks she looks hotter than hell. I haven't a clue as to why no one has told her she looks stupid.
Aw, I liked the first movie and I'm not a pudgy, lonely shut-in, nor do I desperately chase after men (I do talk to my cat, though), but I did relate to the fact that she made a drunken spectacle of herself at parties and was often treated like a leper by "happy" condescending couples.
Jordasche Bledsoe, my friend Ben insists on making that stupid look with his lips in every photo too, no matter how much we joke that it's his "blue steel" look. EVERY PHOTO. It's ridiculous, but I give up. Maybe Renee's friends have given up too?
"I've never seen a Bridget Jones movie, probably because I'm not a loney shut-in who spends my evenings wrapped in a Snuggie, eating ice cream and talking to my cat."
I am a loneley shut-in who spends my evenings wearing slippers you warm in the microwave, eating cottage cheese and talking to my cat, and I've never seen a Bridget Jones movie. I win? Yay?
Maybe the makeup department can put her in a fat suit, but what are they going to do to fill in the hollow contours of her face, other than remove the lemon she appears to be constantly sucking?
If they pull it off, those guys will deserve an Oscar for special effects.
LOL, maybe Lucy :)
