Renee Zellweger Now

After the first Bridget Jones movie and Chicago, Renee Zellweger went on to become one of the highest-paid and most bankable stars in Hollywood. After receiving back-to-back Oscar nominations for the two movies, she finally won her first Oscar in 2003 after appearing in Cold Mountain.

Other big films starring Renee Zellweger include White Oleander, Cinderella Man, and Miss Potter, along with the rest of the Bridget Jones series. She took a brief hiatus in the early 2010s but has bounced back in recent years, winning another Oscar for 2019’s Judy, making her only the 7th actress to win an Oscar in both ‘Leading’ and ‘Supporting’ categories.
