"Stop or you're going to die". How Renée Zellweger changed for Bridget Jones and what the 55-year-old actress looks like now

Renee Zellweger, a famous Hollywood actress, ruined her health for the cult movie Bridget Jones's Diary, which recently announced the filming of its new 4th part. For the lead role, she had to gain an extra 13.5 kg, because in the movie she appears before the viewer's eyes as a 30-something woman with curves who can't find a boyfriend while everyone around her has been married for a long time.

The appearance of the 55-year-old actress, who celebrated her birthday on April 25, has changed a lot in the 24 years since the first shooting of the legendary film began. However, the rapid and large-scale transformation took place shortly before the start of work on the second part of the movie. Express writes that she deliberately did not go to the gym and was forced to eat about 4 thousand kcal per day.

Immediately after the announcement of the end of the project, the star thought about returning to her previous forms. She succeeded, but the consequences were not good for her health due to a sharp fluctuation in weight. Then she received a dire warning from medical professionals.

"I had a panic attack when all the specialists were talking about how bad it is for you in the long run to gain that much weight in a short period of time. They all said: "You have to stop it now or you're going to die," the star said.

Nevertheless, her health has improved, but Zellweger never gives up her favorite hiking and gym.

"No matter where I move, where I work, or what stage of life I'm in, the gym is my common denominator. I move to Los Angeles? I find my gym. I get to Santa Fe? I find my gym. Do I move to New York? I'll find my gym," she summarized earlier to the Daily Mail.

Moreover, you won't find the actress on social media. As a matter of principle, she does not register on well-known platforms, but prefers active recreation that will bring benefits. "One of them is to write or call my mom. Another is to learn a language online. If I wanted to check my phone every day, well, that would be scary. I'd rather go hiking with my dogs, Chester and Ellie," the actress told The Sunday Times.

Renee Zellweger is proud of her age and claims that she tries not to disguise it, although her appearance has changed a lot lately, probably as a result of cosmetic interventions. Her face shape has changed from a pronounced square to an oval, and other parts of her face have taken on different shapes.

The only thing that hasn't changed over the years is her slender figure.
