The dashing Hollywood star George Clooney always looks handsome and fit and probably doesn’t even know how to gain weight. So when he had to gain weight for a movie role he decided to turn to an old friend who knows how to do it right, Renee Zellweger. Clooney told the Daily Express,

But this time round, the 40-year-old Oscar winner will be doing the responsible thing when it comes to her body.

“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 told Britain’s Reveal magazine. “She’s also thinking about the effect quickly putting on and then losing 30 pounds has on her body.”
