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,

“When I found out I had to pile on the pounds – no way was I going to wear a ‘fat suit’, that would have looked so fake – I rang up Renée, an old friend, and asked how she managed to put weight on for the Bridget Jones movies.”

Considering that Zellweger has had to gain and lose weight twice for her roles she’s definitely got some experience. Clooney went on to say that his old pal suggested that every night he drink pints of Guinness and lots of pasta topped with cream. It did the trick because Clooney sported a very thick physique for his role in Syriana. A pint of Guinness has 210 calories and a plate of pasta has so many carbs and fat grams that it’s too much to mention for fear of gaining weight through association!
