Renee Zellweger gets candid about relating to ‘Bridget Jones’

Renee Zellweger just admitted Bridget Jones is always there in her life.

The 55-year-old star, who is set to return on-screen for the upcoming and highly anticipated movie, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, discussed her titular character in the franchise.

Speaking to Empire magazine, discussing if she misses playing Brideget, Renee responded, “Oh, yeah, absolutely. I mean, there are parts of this character that a lot of people relate to, and I share that. I relate to so much about her that I feel like she’s always sort of lingering.”

She continued, “I feel her in my awkwardness sometimes, and I think of her when I’m having one of those out-of-body experiences where you’re kind of watching yourself talk and thinking, ‘Just shut your mouth. Just stop talking. Okay, now stop talking. Now: stop talking. Okay. Just stop now.’

“So, I feel like there are parts of Bridget that travel with me – and it’s usually the awkwardness and those moments of, I don’t know, public humiliation that we all relate to,” Renee Zellweger admitted.
