Renée Zellweger is worried playing Bridget Jones again will damage her health.
The actress gained over 28lbs to play the eternal singleton for 'Bridget Jones' Diary' and 'Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason', before rapidly shedding the weight, and admits she's concerned about the effects of yo-yo dieting.
She said: "My body is whacked by the time we finish one of those. It doesn't know what has happened because it thinks there's supposed to be a baby and there's no christening.
"Did you see that movie about fast food, 'Supersize Me'? I had a panic attack with all the specialists talking about how bad this is for you, long-term, putting on that much weight in short periods of time and they're saying, 'You must stop this now or you're going to die.' "
Despite her concerns, Renée says she would consider playing Bridget again if author Helen Fielding comes up with some new material.
She said: "In Hollywood you never say never. Maybe I will do a third one. It depends if it works into my life and if it's interesting. It's really a Fielding question."
The 'Chicago' actress also spoke of the horror she faced when she had to gain the weight for the first movie in 2001.
