Nicole Kidman Is Gaining Weight For a Movie Role
October 22nd, 2007 by Rian | Filed under Celebrity Weight Gain, Miscellaneous Celebrities.
NineMSN reports that Nicole Kidman has been gaining weight for a role in an upcoming movie called The Reader.
Nicole’s role in the movie covers a span of several decades, so in order to make things more realistic as her character gets older, the director has asked her to gain weight. Her original plans to use a prosthetic was nixed because it wouldn’t be as realistic.
Nicole has already gained 4.5kg - roughly 10 pounds - and plans to gain around 9kg (20 pounds) altogether.
So, you are wondering, how is she gaining the weight?
Kidman’s new diet includes drinking daily protein shakes and eating carbohydrates with every meal.
“She has been eating about four meals a day,” the friend said.
“It’s not unusual 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 4.5kg and has been having lots of her favourite puddings as well as chocolate.”
Sounds a bit healthier than plumping up with fast food, that’s for sure!
It will be interesting to see Nicole Kidman with the 20 extra pounds on her frame, although I bet she won’t be anywhere near overweight even then. I will post new photos of her as I come across them. (The above photo is not really recent, FYI).
Thank gosh! She will look so much better with a little meat on her bones…
I think this woman is sooooooooo pretty. SHe’s a great actress as well. She is one of those who Im sure will look great with extra weight on her. Even when supper skinny, she manages to look sensational. I love her face!
She would probably look really GOOD with an extra 20 lbs on her. She’s really tall, so it’ll probably spread out pretty well. I definitely think she’s doing it the right way though. There are unhealthy ways to gain weight (ie, Renee Zellwegger’s donut diet for Bridget Jones) and healthy ways.
I hope she also stops with the botox thing
This woman is beautiful at any weight.
I love her fair skin, I’m glad she keeps it natural and isn;t one of those with the stupid, unnnatural looking orange skin!!
The movie industry does a lot of things including things that are not healthy for people. It is not healthy to quickly gain 20 pounds to satisy for the movie role.
Then, after the role is completely she will want to lose the same 20 pounds again and while she is at it, maybe will try for 10 or 20 pounds on top of that.
Yeah, I think 20lbs would be hardly noticeable on her — when she’s taking care of doing it through a healthy method– but it’d also make her look nicer.
Call me crazy, but I still think she’s beautiful… if only she could let go off the botox~
She will probably look just as good with added weight on her frame. I too am glad that she hasn’t bought into the whole orange skin fad going through hollywood now.
she looks really, really good with some extra weight. She always seems so waif-like when she’s skinnier; almost like a strong breeze could knock her over. I think she should keep at least some of the weight.
I have to have to add, that she almost looks like Bridgette Bardot in that picture! Just Beautiful!
GOOD! Maybe next they’ll make her quit the hourly Botox injections and weekly facelift so she can actually look like a human being.
omg, she so pretty!!
The 40-year-old Australian movie star has already added 4.5kg to her svelte frame and plans to double her weight gain in coming weeks before she starts filming The Reader.
“The part she plays demands that she gets fatter throughout the movie as her character slips into middle age
Not sure how this works—has she already shot scenes where she is thinner? If she starts filming 20 pounds heavier—how does she get fatter?
She still looks very good. With her height, another 4.5kg would not bring her to the overweight zone.
She is tall…she can carry off any wght
did anyone else read the blind vice about her being a hermaphrodite? i swear, the more photos i see of her the more i believe it!
A hermaphrodite…Nicole Kidman? I don’t really see how that is even remotely possible for her.
i heard she was pregnant?
wow, amazing pic
I think she will look great!
Wow..she looks stunning in that pic. I don’t often say this but I think she actually looks better with the weight on.
And yeah, 20 lbs won’t be that noticeable on her frame. I’m the same height and I recently gained 20 lbs and Im still the same dress size. Its weird.
She is so pretty, I also think that the extra weight will do her good.
Didnt she say that Tom always made chocolate cookies because it was so hard for her to keep up her weight? And that she tries real hard but gets full real fast?
Goodbye Hollywood lyers
(by the way; I think she looks lovely)
She is gorgeous in any weight. When she is superskinny she manages to look so ethereal and heavenly, like an angel. When she is heavier, she just looks s soft and beautiful, like a goddess. You can tell she´ll be a great beauty even when she is at her 70s, cause that kind of beauty just doesn´t fade away.
she looks absolutely gorgeous!
stunning, a true beauty
20 pounds make her looks normal
She will look like she did ten years ago.
She wasn´t so skinny until she seperated from Cruise and she used to look so much better with some extra pounds.
They said she’s going to be eating a lot of protein to gain weight??? How does that work? I take in 140 g protein everyday along with complex carbohydrates and that didn’t make me gain weight, it made me LOSE weight. I don’t understand how that is going to make her gain weight unless she eats really fatty meats and simple carbs.
Well, muscles need protein and muscles weight more than fat.
She is beautiful in her films and a wonderful actress, however, on all the candids she looks totally benign. This is what I call a bla body shape. She is thin but looks like someone who has a tendency to grow flab. I can see a potential for fat stored in the stomach area. Her arms are borderline flabby. I think that 20 pounds and she will grow a double chin. She is an amazing actress but not a very attractive woman, unless photoshoped.
she’ll be gorgeous no matter what!
and athena,
if she eats 1200 calories a day to maintain her weight, but ADDS ON the protein shakes, then she’ll be consuming 1700 calores a day. you definitely won’t LOSE weight when you ADD additional calories.
you can lose weight, however, if you SUBSTITUTE your simple carb calories with protein.
She’s pregnant fo’ sure and her PR is trying to cover it up. Friends of mine are working on Baz Luhrman’s Australia and they say that Kidman’s definitely preggers.
Honestly, I’m all for the thin look in general, but once a person reaches a certain age, being too thin really ages them, especially in the face. I think that she looks fab here, and she’ll probably look younger and prettier with the extra pounds.
if she’s gaining weight by eating 4 meals a day does she not normally eat 4 meals a day? - she is far too lean normally and i think 20 pounds on her will looks lovely - but i’m sure she’ll drop it super fast after she’s dole the movie - looking forward to her weight watch Rian!
I bet that’s going to be tough on her mentally since she obviously strives to be on the skinny side.
I used to see her at the gym all the time in NYC when she was at her thinnest and honestly she didn’t look sickly. Even wrapped in a towel, there were no bones to be seen anywhere.
But she’s so tall that an extra 20 lbs would probably not change her look dramatically.
By the way, she is absolutely jaw droppingly gorgeous in person w/o a stitch of makeup and incredibly sweet.
She uses botox ?
She looks gorgeous … having more weight on adds mostly to her face and softens the harshness that was there before…. she really hasnt lost much (if any) of her figure.. I hope she keeps it - then she’ll be able to have a baby-able body!
She look gorgeous now. I think she’s better looking in this weight!
she is so hot!!
Red on the head like the dick of the dog!
She’ll still look good with an extra 20 lbs I have a feeling.
She looks much better!! and will look gorgeous with those pounds.
For ONCE she looks like a WOMAN, not some kind of white ghostalienwitch
secrethoughts: I really agree with you! U start to look like a raisin when u age and are skinny!
I think a little extra weight makes her face look so much better. I thought her face was prettiest when she was in “Days of Thunder”.
Beautiful. I had no idea how stunning she could be until I saw her at this new weight –it softens her facial features and makes her look a bit like Brigitte Bardot, as another poster mentioned.
you dont her weight gain could be due to her pregnancy??
She’ll look healthy with a bit of extra weight. I’m afraid of her getting to used to her gaining habits and maybe ending up too heavy- like 150lbs. Then she might not want to lose the weight and become an advocate for the “curvy” movement. By looking at her, I think her gain will be noticeable in the face (a double chin is easily possible with 20lbs) and stomach.
She looks prettier with a little extra meat on. I think this is why older women don’t mind a few extra pounds.
she is a tall freak and for some reason I really don’t think she is in the least bit pretty maybe Im just weird….
Yer, i heard she was preggers.
She is so tall that 20 pounds won’t be that noticeable. Of course, you’ll see it, but on a long body like hers it will be ok. And she can use it
she looks better now (though she has always looked good)! and i’m sure she’ll look even better when she gains more weight. she’ll be a real afrodite then. she looks like a goddess. i’ve always admired her.
and i think she looks younger with that “extra” weight. i just hope she won’t lose that weight. but i guess she will :
no nicole!
DONT DO IT!
omgoodness your my idol and you are absolutly perfect just the way you are.
nicole kidman
is breath taking.
Personally, she is not that attractive imo. She looks unhealthy except now. She could afford to gain 40 pounds as thin as she is, so it should not matter if she gain weight or not. She is such a thin person, it must be hard for her to actually eat like a normal person. It seems like she NEVER eats imo. Hopefully, I am wrong…but knowing her she will gain 20 pounds for a movie role and try to lose 40 pounds right afterwards.
I’d prefer reading in my native language, because my knowledge of your languange is no so well.
