Julia Roberts Is Freaking Out over Recent Weight Gain

While shooting for the unnamed Snow White film as Evil Queen, Julia Roberts has gained some weight, says a new report. Whereas she was happy to pack a few pounds on “Eat Pray Love,” the star is now desperate to get back in shape.

The latest print issue of the National Enquirer (story via here) claims Julia is absolutely freaking out at how much weight she's gained and how hard it is for her now to shift the extra pounds.

To make sure she gets back in shape, she's already started running and is this close to turning into a workout “maniac,” says the report, citing unnamed sources close to the star.

Apparently, she wouldn't see nothing wrong with being a little out of shape and packing some weight were it not for comparisons with her ultra-fit husband Danny Moder.

“The fiery redhead, who turned 44 on Oct. 28, is furious at herself for piling on 10 pounds (4.53kg) while filming her role as the Evil Queen in the as-yet-untitled new 'Snow White' movie,” the tabloid writes.

“And the mom of three is determined to trim down by pounding the pavement with pals. In fact, Julia was recently spotted looking winded after jogging with a companion near her Los Angeles home,” the Enquirer further says.

Because she believes she looks bad standing next to the ripped Moder, Julia has decided to lose the extra weight and even get a six-pack as soon as possible.

However, the biggest issue with that is that she has to find the motivation to turn down the offer on the crafts services table on every movie set, since she's already accustomed to eating whatever she wants when she's working, especially if she's working long hours.

“Julia saw the photos of herself in the beach in Hawaii this past August and thought she looked pretty good in a bikini. But standing next to Danny, with his taught stomach and muscular arms, she seemed completely out of shape in comparison,” an insider tells the tab.

“She told him, ‘It’s not fair that you get to look as good as you do without even trying, but I have to bust my [backside] just to lose a couple of pounds!’ After that, Julia was absolutely determined to look almost as toned was her hubby,” adds the source.
