Ange told to pile on the pounds

Most women who have just given birth are struggling to lose weight, but skinny Angelina Jolie has apparently been told to do the opposite.

The 33-year-old, who gave birth to baby twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon in Nice, France earlier this month, has been told to beef up by the producers of her new movie sequel of the Thomas Crown Affair.

Apparently the demand has been issued in light of the fact that Ange allegedly fainted on the set of her last action movie, Wanted.

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