Jennifer Hudson Turned Down Precious Role!
Singer/actress and runner up in American Idol, Jennifer Hudson tells the story of how and why she turned down a part in an Academy Award nominated 2009 film, Precious as an abused single mother.
She has just recently won an Oscar for Dreamgirls when she was approached for the part in Precious. She turned it down because she was ready to head in a different direction with weight and her acting career.
In her memoir, I Got This: How I Changed My Ways And Lost What Weighed Me Down, she wrote, "As much as I was moved by this film, I wanted to try a role that had nothing whatsoever to do with my weight."
Who could blame Jennifer for not wanting to put any weight on after she worked so hard to lose all that weight and look and feel great? Would you compromise your health by gaining weight for a role in a movie?
