Alec Baldwin thinks he would “kill” Renee Zellweger if he had sex with her – because she is so slim.

The 51-year-old actor has criticised Hollywood actress for their slight physiques, saying he would never be able to shoot romantic scenes with most of them as he would do them serious damage.

 

He joked: “Women today are so skinny. If I did a love scene with them, I would crush them. If I did a love scene with Renee, I would kill her!”

 

The ‘My Sisters Keeper’ star also criticised the gulf between men and womens pay in the acting industry.

 

He thinks many male stars are paid far too much, citing Tom Cruise – who has earned around $33 million over the last 12 months – as a particular example.

 

Speaking at Elle magazine's annual Women in Hollywood dinner and awards show, website E! Online quotes Alec as saying: “I believe we can balance the scales if Tom Cruise would lower his quote by a mere $29 million. I realise this may be a bit unfair since he's not here to defend himself and I really don't want to put this all on one man, but if I had to, that man would be Tom Cruise… I assure you my salary would not make a difference.”

 

Meanwhile, Renee has refused to confirm a third instalment of the ‘Bridget Jones’ franchise is in the pipeline.

 

It had been reported the actress – who put on 30lbs for 2004’s ‘Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason’ - was keen to reprise her role as the unlucky-in-love British heroine, and was even considering wearing a fat suit to avoid having to pile on the pounds again.

 

Asked about the film, she said: “I don't know! Isn't that funny? I get asked that every single day and I don't know anything. It's like a rumour!"
