Renee Zellweger Archives

Renee Zellweger had plenty to say about life, love, and new roles in the April 2008 issue of InStyle. Here’s what the 38-year-old opened up about:

On being asked to star as the love interest for George Clooney in Leatherheads: “It was a no-brainer I heard George was making a movie and I said, ‘When?’ If he had asked me to make peanut-butter sandwiches for the catering, I would have said, ‘Crunchy or smooth?’”

On watching all the hunky guys running around playing football: “I guess someone had to do it. (chuckles) Talk about living the dream.”

On having a similar experience with Appaloosa costarring Ed Harris, Viggo Mortensen and Jeremy Irons: “Again, poor me. (laughs) That was just awful. Men in cowboy hats and boots, every day.”

On not being homesick: “Sometimes people ask, ‘Don’t you miss your home?’ Well, no. I go to work with George Clooney or Harry Connick. So, not so much.”

On being an optimist 24/7: “I’m so fortunate. I think I was born happy.”

She has been sent to oversee the restructuring of a factory. The locals give her a frosty reception.
