Moving from place to place, constantly living out of your suitcase \u2013 I never unpacked until I was probably 41.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>\nRenee went on to insist she has no regrets about taking a six-year break from her movie career. <\/p>\n<p>\nShe added: &#8220;There was a lot to treasure &#8230; I scrutinised myself. And because I wasn\u2019t taking care of myself in my 30s, I didn\u2019t make great choices all the time \u2026 It\u2019s really easy to forget yourself in the mix.&#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\/renee-zellweger-almost-died-rollerblades-audition-1413615.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>12 February 2025 Renee Zellweger thought she was going die during her first acting audition after lying about being able to rollerblade.
