I was sick of the sound of my own voice. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When I was working, I was like, &#8216;Oh, my gosh, listen to you. Are you sad again, Renee? Oh, is this your mad voice?&#8217; It was a regurgitation of the same emotional experiences.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Renee &#8220;wrote music and studied international law&#8221; during her hiatus.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe actress also made a concerted effort to adopt a healthier lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>\nAsked what she did with her time off, Renee shared: &#8220;I wrote music and 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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nMeanwhile, Renee recently explained that the character of Bridget Jones is &#8220;always lingering&#8221; in her life.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe actress is best known for playing the character in the money-spinning film franchise and Renee finds it easy to relate to her alter ego.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe told Empire magazine: &#8220;I relate to so much about her that I feel like she&#8217;s always sort of lingering. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I feel her in my awkwardness sometimes, and I think of her when I&#8217;m having one of those out-of-body experiences where you&#8217;re kind of watching yourself talk and thinking, &#8216;Just shut your mouth. Just stop talking. Okay, now stop talking. Now: stop talking. Okay. Just stop now.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;So, I feel like there are parts of Bridget that travel with me &#8211; and it&#8217;s usually the awkwardness and those moments of, I don&#8217;t know, public humiliation that we all relate to.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/needed-break-hollywood-says-renee-zellweger-1412194.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>16 January 2025 Renee Zellweger took a break from Hollywood because she was &#8220;sick of the sound of [her] own voice&#8221;.
