Renée Zellweger Stopped Acting for Six Years Because ‘I Was Sick of the Sound of My Own Voice’: It Was Regurgitating the ‘Same Emotional Experiences’
Renée Zellweger stopped acting for six years because she was so sick of her own voice.
Renée Zellweger said in an interview with her longtime “Bridget Jones” co-star Hugh Grant for British Vogue that it was the sound of her voice that led her to stop acting for more than half a decade in the 2010s. At that point in her career, Zellweger was already a three-time Oscar nominee and a best supporting actress winner for “Cold Mountain.” She was one of the highest-paid female actors in Hollywood in the late 2000s, but none of that success could make Zellweger stand her own voice.
When asked by Grant why she took a six-year acting break from 2010 to 2016, Zellweger answered: “Because I needed to. I was sick of the sound of my own voice. When I was working, I was like, ‘Oh, my gosh, listen to you. Are you sad again, Renée? Oh, is this your mad voice?’ It was a regurgitation of the same emotional experiences.”
Zellweger stopped being an actor for six years, but she stayed busy as an artist by writing music. She also “studied international law. I built a house, rescued a pair of older doggies, created a partnership that led to a production company, advocated for and fundraised with a sick friend, and spent a lot of time with family and godchildren and driving across the country with the dogs. I got healthy.”
Popular on VarietyWhen she finally returned to acting, Zellweger was ready to reprise her iconic Bridget Jones character in 2016’s “Bridget Jones’s Baby.” Three years later, Zellweger earned some of the best reviews of her career by playing Judy Garland in “Judy.” The movie earned her a second Oscar and her first in the best actress category.
Elsewhere during their British Vogue chat, Grant asked Zellweger if she ever reads her movie reviews or checks out the box office results for her projects. She doesn’t.
“No. Why would I do that?” Zellweger asked. “I promise you. I’ve never looked at the box office or Rotten Tomatoes.”
Zellweger and Grant are back together for the upcoming fourth “Bridget Jones” movie, “.” The sequel will not have to worry about box office in the U.S., as it is streaming exclusively on Peacock starting Feb. 13. Universal Pictures is releasing the movie in theaters internationally on Feb. 14.
