Hmm, my friend went to the UK, England in particular, and she said a lot of people over there were a lot thinner than we are over here (Stateside), so, the actress may be more of what we see over here and think not "fat", but over there she may be chunkier?

That was quite sometime ago though and I'm only posting this as hearsay, so it's most likely wrong. *shrug*

But yeah, Hugh Grant's character was always so O_o?? over those comments cause they were patently untrue.
