Scarlett's enjoyment of British pub grub added to her voluptuous figure

The star's sweet tooth and her love of British pubs caused her to pile on so many pounds that a number of scenes had to be reshot for the movie, which features Star Wars actress Natalie Portman as King Henry VIII's second wife Anne Boleyn and Scarlett as her sister Mary.

"There was some reshooting," says a source. "The problem was that Scarlett piled on weight during filming and there was concern that she looked thin in some scenes and heavier in others."
