Newlyweds Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly have fallen out over the British actor's toned physique.

The A KNIGHT'S TALE star has been working out to get in shape and look fit for his new tennis movie WIMBLEDON - and his wife is far from impressed with his new body.

She says, "He's been in the gym and he's suntanned. He's turned into a jock. I find it a bit disconcerting. He used to be pale and have a little belly. He was my little whisky-drinking cheese eater."

Bettany admits he too has had enough of his new look: "My wife hates it. She says I'm not what she bought... I'm going back to chain-smoking, out-of-breath parts after this.

"I miss my tummy too... She uses it as a pillow when she watches telly."
