Renee Zellweger On Her Different Face: "I'm Happy"

Renee Zellweger is opening up about her appearance after her recent red carpet walk which sparked speculation about her barely recognizable face.


"I'm glad folks think I look different! I'm living a different, happy, more fulfilling life, and I'm thrilled that perhaps it shows," Zellweger, 45, revealed to People.

Renee called the gossip "silly" and explained that she is replying because "it seems the folks who come digging around for some nefarious truth which doesn't exist won't get off my porch until I answer the door."

The "Chicago" star went on: "My friends say that I look peaceful. I am healthy. For a long time I wasn't doing such a good job with that. I took on a schedule that is not realistically sustainable and didn't allow for taking care of myself. Rather than stopping to recalibrate, I kept running until I was depleted and made bad choices about how to conceal the exhaustion. I was aware of the chaos and finally chose different things."

"I did work that allows for being still, making a home, loving someone, learning new things, growing as a creative person and finally growing into myself," Zellweger noted, adding: "People don't know me in my 40s. People don't know me (as) healthy for a while. Perhaps I look different. Who doesn't as they get older?! Ha. But I am different. I'm happy."
