Nicole Kidman has recently been gaining weight for her next role in a movie called The Reader.  The movie spans over several decades in which her character ages; therefore, the director asked her to gain some weight to make it look realistic.  The original idea to use prosthetic’s was canned due to the director wanting the real look. 

Kidman has already gained 10 pounds and is going to gain another 10 pounds.  By the end, she hopes to have gained 20 pounds.  She has been pretty much stuffing her face but trying to do it in a healthy way. 

If someone told me to gain 20 pounds, I would say HELL NO!  That is just crazy!  Nicole is more than likely going to get an award for this part….most actresses do when they gain weight.
