Updated 13.17 Thu Sep 06 2007

Simon Pegg shows he'll do anything for love in his latest Brit comedy Run, Fat Boy, Run.

In the David Schwimmer-directed film, he plays a man who leaves his heavily-pregnant fiancée at the altar.

Run, Fat Boy, Run hits cinemas nationwide on September 7

However, when he learns she's moved on, he decides to run the marathon to win her back.

Pegg plays opposite Thandie Newton, but considering her pin-up status, he joked the plotline might be a bit farfetched.

He said: "It's probably the least believable thing about this movie, that I would ever jilt Thandie Newton at the altar!"

Run, Fat Boy, Run hits cinemas nationwide on September 7.
