Renee Zellweger is not holding up negotiations for Bridget Jones 3, according to a representative.

The National Enquirer recently reported that the actress was “driving producers CRAZY”
by refusing to gain weight for the role. According to the tabloid, Zellweger is afraid of driving away her real-life boyfriend Bradley Cooper if she piles on the 30 pounds required to play the bumbling but supposedly (and inexplicably) irresistible diary keeper, Bridget Jones. Zellweger gained the weight to portray the character twice in the past — for 2001’s Bridget Jones’ Diary and 2004’s Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason.

The Enquirer said, according to GossipCop.com, that Zellweger was “insisting that this time, instead of being a zaftig Everywoman, Bridget should be a diet-conscious skinny-minnie.” And a “friend” supposedly said, “She’d love to do Bridget, but she’s drawn a line in the sand about porking out again!”

But a rep says the reports are false, telling GossipCop, the story is “so not true. Renee more than anyone would be true to the character.”

The third movie will not be based on a novel by author Helen Fielding, as there is no third Bridget Jones book, but last summer, Variety reported that the film would be about Bridget’s struggle to have a baby before her biological clock runs out. The last film ended with Colin Firth’s character, Darcy, proposing to Bridget.
