Renée Zellweger Eager To Play Bridget Jones Again!

52-year-old super star Renée Zellweger has already portrayed the unlucky-in-love character in three films based on Helen Fielding’s novels, but the actress loves playing her “awkward” alter ego so much, and another movie is possible…

CelebnMovies247.com reports that author Helen Fielding has penned another book in the Bridget Jones series, so Zellweger can give adoring fans another movie.

Hoorah!

While speaking on ‘The Jess Cagle Show‘ on SiriusXM, Renée said that she loves playing her “awkward” alter ego and can’t wait for another installment of Jones for the big screen.

Renée says:

I hope so. I hope so. I mean, it’s fun, you know, she’s so much fun. I love being in her shoes. I mean, it makes me giggle, you know, every day on set the choices that we get to make about just how awkward we can make her circumstances. It’s just so much fun.

On why Bridget is so appealing, she added:

I find her so endearing … her self-deprecating sort of determination. I love her. And I think it’s really rare to get to follow a character through different stages in her life.

And in a way that we find her relatable, because she parallels our own life experiences at that time. Yeah, I hope so. I mean, Helen did write another book, so there’s that.

Why Renée Zellweger Took A Hiatus From Acting

Before reprising her most famous role, Renée took a break from acting for a few years because she had gotten “bored” with her career and didn’t feel she could be an “interesting storyteller” without gaining some more life experience herself.

She said previously:

You reach a point when you’ve been doing the same thing for a long time. How greedy can one girl get? You know, I’ve had some extraordinary experiences and when is enough, enough?

And it’s time to learn new things. I don’t think you can be an interesting story-teller if you can’t relate to other people’s experiences because you’ve spent 25-30 years living other people’s lives.

I was bored, not with my work, I always loved my work, I was bored with myself. I needed to grow as a person and evolve a little bit, learn new things. You only live once right?

In her real life Renee has been dating Ant Anstead who divorced Flip or Flop star and newly remarried interior designer Christina Haack-Hall.
