Most people were surprised when Renee Zellweger got the part of Bridget in the film
Bridget Jones`s Diary.
The film is about a young woman who worries about work, her weight and men.
Zellweger is a slim American woman - completely clifferent from Bridget who is English and overweight.
So, what did Zellweger do to get the part right?
She had lessons to improve her English accent and she put on about eleven Kilos.
For several months she didn`t do any exercise and she ate a lot of pizza, peanut butter sandwiches and chocolate. Although it was fun at first, she often felt quite sick.
Zellweger put the weight on because she thought it was important to be as real as possible.
She was surprised, however, by people`s criticisms.
People criticised her for being fat when she put on weight for the film.
Then they criticisms her again for being too skinny when she lost weight after the film.
She realised it`s almost impossible to have the perfect body in the eyes of the media.
