‘I was sick of the sound of my own voice': Renée Zellweger on why she took a 6-year break from Hollywood
Entertainment: While promoting the release of the next instalment in the Bridget Jones franchise, actress Renée Zellweger shared why she took a 6-year break from Holywood.
In a recent interview with British Vogue, two-time Academy Award winner Renée Zellweger opened up about why she stepped away from acting for six years after the release of the 2019 biopic Judy. The actress, currently promoting her upcoming film Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, shared that she grew tired of experiencing the same emotions on screen.

“Because I needed to. I was sick of the sound of my own voice. When I was working, I was like, ‘Oh, my gosh, listen to you. Are you sad again, Renée? Oh, is this your mad voice?’ It was a regurgitation of the same emotional experiences.”
Time well spent
During her six-year hiatus, Zellweger pursued a degree in international law, wrote music, built a house, and launched a production company. She also took time to focus on her health and spend quality time with her friends and family.
