Renee Zellweger’s weight gain journey to play Bridget Jones
Chris Pratt’s diet is comparable to that of Renee Zellweger. She and Pratt ate 4,000 calories each day to play Bridget Jones in the film “Bridget Jones’ Diary.”
Zellweger studied British Bridget’s accent and had a dialect coach on set to provide her with frequent meals. Zellweger gained weight for the role, going from a size two to a size fourteen during production. She shed the additional 30 pounds quickly as she was cast in the titular role of Roxie Hart in Chicago next.
