Nicole Kidman gaining weight for new role…looks better?
I always think actresses look better with an extra 10 – 20 pounds on them. Call me crazy.
Just as Renee had to bulk up to play Bridget Jones, so Nicole has already put on 10lb for her latest film, The Reader.
And the 40-year-old Australian actress is planning to double her weight gain in the coming weeks, according to sources on the movie, in which she stars alongside Ralph Fiennes.
“Nicole has said this is one of the most challenging film roles of her career,” a close friend said.
“She is naturally very slim and loves to run and swim so she is always very toned.
“The part she plays demands that she gets fatter throughout the movie as her character slips into middle age.
“It’s a very demanding role because there are a lot of explicit lovemaking scenes.
“The film is set over several decades so her character changes a lot.
“Nicole was originally planning to use prosthetics but was told by the director, Stephen Daldry, that it would be more realistic if she gained the weight.”
The star plays Hanna Schmitz in the adaptation of the bestselling German novel The Reader, which deals with the emotional repercussions of the Holocaust-in post-war Germany.
It tells the story of Michael Berg, a 15-yearold boy who has a passionate affair with older woman Hanna in 1958.
But Hanna disappears suddenly and Michael sees her again only years later when she is on trial for a war crime after it is revealed she was an SS camp guard.
Nicole’s calorie-rich diet includes drinking daily protein shakes and ensuring carbohydrates are in every meal.
“She has been eating about four meals a day,” said the friend. It’s not usual to see her work her way through a big plate of pasta, with bread, and then a dessert.
She’s having to gorge herself. She has quite enjoyed gaining the first 10lb and has been having lots of her favourite puddings as well as chocolate.
“Nicole loves her new bosom, but she is finding eating so much makes her lethargic and sleepy.
“She’s usually running on adrenaline and has to be reminded to eat a meal. Now she’s eating four, and sometimes five small meals a day.”

Has she even started the gaining process? It doesn’t look like it to me.

“It’s a very demanding role because there are a lot of explicit lovemaking scenes”
With a 17 year old boy. She’s one sick woman, she loves her graphic sex scenes. I guess her weight gain is only making one of her boobs larger, but we all know it’s a bad boob job and they are trying to explain why her bosom is larger now.

I don’t see any weight gain, she still looks the same to me!
And she’s not “naturally thin”, I read an interview where she said she had to go to the restaurant to meet directors and she could onyl eat carrots, otherwise she’d be fat!

Gorging yourself is just as dangerous and unhealthy as starving yourself.

“She is naturally very slim and loves to run and swim so she is always very toned.” yeah because running makes you look like her. I DONT THINK SO. I run 20 – 25 miles a week and I’m at a healthy weight for my height, unlike nicole kidman, who is actually underweight. I don’t think its the exercising that’s keeping her “slim” (e.g. emaciated) I’m pretty sure it’s her lack of eating.

I like her dress.

Her body is hot, but that pasty white skin makes me want to puke. She looks like a corpse.

Ive always thought Nicole Kidman was beautiful and doesnt look too thin at all. She is a very classy lady and the people with the bad comments are most likely overweight and Wish they looked like Nicole.

wow so many comments are so horrible…
i agree with ati above, and think she looks absolutely gorgeous- a pale complexion that clear is really rare, and really quite beautiful, and perfect for the older set movies, like moulin rouge.
5 SMALL meals a day is clearly not gorging herself, to whichever idiot said that *rolls eyes* shes obviously very health conscious and is likely to be gaining it carefully not binge eating. god people are stupid.
and bad boob job? its your prerogative to comment,just as its mine to; i didnt realise it was YOUR body, why does it matter?
