Angelina Jolie Told to Bulk up For New Film Role

Angelina Jolie has been told to bulk up for her role in new movie The Thomas Crown Affair 2.

The actress -- who gave birth to twins Knox, and Vivienne earlier this month -- was super-skinny during the filming of action flick wanted, and was always fainting on-set; movie bosses don't want a repeat performance, so have advised her to gain some weight for the role.

A source reveals, "Ideally they want Angelina to put on two stone for the role. It is going to be very physically demanding, which is why they want her to carry the extra weight.

"They don't want a reprise of what happened with Wanted, where she was fainting and they had to take her costumes in.

"She was also slated for being too skinny to portray an action woman, and for Thomas Crown they want a convincing female lead.

"Hopefully, she will take them up on it - a few extra pounds wouldn't hurt her."

The film, the follow-up to 1999's The Thomas Crown Affair, will be produced by Pierce Brosnan.
