There\\\'s the whole Bridget Jones thing, where British and American values clashed; to look plausible as a British thirtysomething, Renée Zelwegger had to put on two and a half stone (and whoo boy, there\\\'s another little difference... that\\\'s about thirty pounds to Americans). The point is, to British eyes she did not look \\\"fat\\\" at all - she was pretty hot, her face and figure looked right. Even if in the film she persisted in weighing herself in American units, which after all the effort spent in making RZ convincingly British was a letdown. British women would say they are nine stone ten, for instance, not a hundred and thirty-six pounds).
The character in the film who said men like an arse they can park a bike in and thighs they can grab hold of was enunciating a basic truth. We can export Kate Moss, agree she looks good in theory, give her a bye for being in a trade calling for professional anorexics, and then point out that \\\"emaciated stick insect\\\" is not how we like our women to look. In the film \\\"Bridget Jones\\\", RZ slims down to her target weight - something which would only just be acceptable to Americans - and is tolds by a room full of Brits she\\\'s over-done it and taken too much off.
I hear she had to slim down to anorexic stick insect on her return to the USA. And that\\\'s a hell of a shame.
It makes you wonder how the voluptuous actresses of old, like Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield, might fare in the modern Hollywood.... my suspicion is that they\\\'d be overlooked and told to lose a lot of weight.
