As she eagerly anticipates the upcoming release of the latest chapter in the chaotic saga of her character Jones, she reflected on the reasons behind her long hiatus from the spotlight.
Speaking to her Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy co-star Hugh Grant (aka Daniel Cleaver), she shared during an interview with British Vogue that her 2010 - 2016 break was much needed.
Zellweger remarked, “I had to do it. I grew tired of hearing my own voice. While I was acting, I found myself thinking, ‘Wow, is that really you again, Renée? Are you feeling down once more? Or is that your angry tone?’ It felt like I was just recycling the same emotional moments.”
