Julia Roberts says husband is happy with her new curvier physique

Pretty Julia Roberts is not much worried about the extra 10 pounds she gained while filming  Eat, Pray, Love because her cameraman husband is happy with her curvier physique.

The actress piled on the pounds while scoffing pasta and pizza on set in Italy.

Roberts was convinced the extra weight would fall off when the shoot switched to India but it never happened.

"I gained 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms) for this movie and I thought I'd hurt myself trying to get my jeans on," the Sydney Morning Herald quoted her telling the Sun newspaper.

"I packed on the weight during the Italy part of the shoot, but then people said, 'Oh, you'll lose it when you film in India.' Somehow I didn't get that memo," she said.

However, Roberts' new look has won the seal of approval from her husband-of-eight years Danny Moder and he has convinced her that men aren't concerned with how their wives look in the bedroom.

"I believe that guys don't care about what you look like naked. Anyway, that's what dimmer switches are for," she said.
