When the reporters asked the actress for the hundredth time, when she was going to start a family, Rene calmly replied: "I will marry at the age of ninety-nine." And it was said so, that it became clear: this woman should not climb into the soul. But, what is so attractive about this strange, not falling under any "standards" actress, what is there in her that others do not have? It is unlikely that anyone will be able to solve the riddle of Renee Zellweger and her personal diary will forever remain a secret for hundreds of seals. And still something we will tell about it.
Barefoot on the beach.
In Hollywood, Renee survived only two serious novels - with Jim Carrey and George Clooney. In both cases, everything ended in a break. And always Renee went first, saying goodbye that the next elect turned out to be a despot who treated her consumerly and that's why his life together with him is simply unbearable ... But with actor Jack White, who did not have a particularly bad reputation, Rene almost developed . But here he already abandoned her, unable to withstand a long separation, when Renee left for England: to star in the role of Bridget Jones. Relatives have repeatedly tried to mate Rene for decent and wealthy people, their good acquaintances. They thought that maybe Renee just does not like the men who surround her in Hollywood. Perhaps she needs a simple good guy without cinematic ambitions, who will sincerely admire her and try to make her happy ... But Renee either refused to get acquainted with the parents' proteges, or agreed, but she did not get sympathy for the next applicant. She met Kenya Chesney quite by accident. This popular country singer in the United States has been in love with Renee for a long time - true, in absentia. He managed to meet the woman of his dreams when he and Renee on January 15, 2005 performed at a charity concert to help victims of the tsunami in South-East Asia. During the break Kenya approached Rene and embarrassedly asked for her autograph. Accustomed to the enthusiasm and worship of the public, Renee was somewhat embarrassed, having met the same attitude from another celebrity. They met, talked ... And there were so many common themes that they left the concert together: to the restaurant, to continue communication. Instantly broke out friendship grew into a turbulent romance, and less than four months later, namely - on May 9, 2005 Renee Zellweger and Kenya Chesney got married. The wedding was very romantic, but modest. On St. John's Island, where René and Kenya were married, only 45 people were present: relatives and closest friends. The thirty-seven-year-old groom and thirty-six-year-old bride were walking barefoot along the beach ... True, the dress on the bride was luxurious: from Caroline Herrera. But the groom dressed lightly, in a cowboy style. They seemed so happy! They so sincerely laughed at everyone who predicted that their marriage would not last for five months ... And for some reason there were many such doubters: both among friends and among journalists who made their gloomy predictions the very next day, when newlyweds decided to "declassify" for the press. And they called this term: five months.
Marriage, which was not.
Renee and Kenya divorced four months later. Rather, they did not even divorce, and the marriage was annulled, as if from a legal point of view it did not exist at all. California law allows for this in cases where one of the spouses is less than 18 years old, if any of them are not in their sanity, is married to another person or if consent to marriage was obtained by force or deceit. In filing papers for divorce in early September, Renee called deception as the reason for the cancellation. True, she immediately made a statement to the press, in which she explained that deception in this case was only "a legal expression, and not a description of the act of Kenya Chesney." In fact, they decided together that this would be easier for them: fewer problems with property and other legal difficulties. Just cancel the family - as if it were not ...
Kenya has bravely stated that he is not offended and he and Rene are still very friendly to each other. But friends knew that if one of the spouses should be accused of cheating, then it's not Kenya, but Renee. However, she did not purposely deceive him. She herself was deceived in her intentions. In fact, Ren Zellweger just does not need a family.
Tornado.
"Because of my parents, I had an idealistic idea of love. I absorbed it with my mother's milk, "Renee said once. It's true: her parents had a very happy marriage. They still love each other. And Renee wants to have it and not otherwise. Not for some reason it does not work out. Rene Ketlin Zellweger was born on April 25, 1969, in a family of European immigrants: her father came from Switzerland, her mother came from Norway. Renee and her adored brother Andrew were the first members of the family who were born in the US, in a tiny town of Cathy, Texas. The town was so small that there was not even a cinema. For the first time in the movie, Renee got involved in college. So it can not be said that she dreamed of an acting career since childhood. Renee is very proud of her European background and when, at the beginning of her career, she was asked to change her surname to a more pronounced one, she flatly refused: "I like my name. I think it's great. If Arnold Schwarzenegger managed to get everyone to pronounce his German name without hesitation, then they'll cope with mine ... Do you have something against Zellweger? "Friends call Renee not by name, and abbreviated from the surname -" Zell. " The main person in René's childhood was not his parents, but his older brother Andrew. Rene in all copied it and lamented that she was born a girl that can not be an equal partner in his noisy boyish games. Although in her school years Renee attended a drama studio, her dreams about the future were still related to sports: athletics, basketball, gymnastics. She was the head of the support group for the school football team, one of those girls in short skirts who dance and perform acrobatic stunts before the match. Rene's diamond dream was not the Oscar ceremony, but the Olympic Games. But the resulting injury put an end to the dreams of the sport.
Appearance for extras.
After school, Renee entered the Faculty of Journalism at the University of Austin and simultaneously began attending a student theater studio, and so imbued with a scene that even started taking acting lessons. "With such appearance, you, dear, only play in the crowd" - contemptuously told her a pretty young lady from the theater studio. And it turned out to be wrong: in the United States it's hard to make it to the beauties in the cinema and television, because they need not so much to not create complexes for the spectators, but the appearance of the "girl next door" is quite in demand. When Renee decided to go to screen tests, she quickly got a role in the commercial and several episodic roles in the television series A Taste for Killing, Murder in the Heartland, My Boyfriend's Back. In the movie Renee Zellweger first appeared in the movie "Texas Chainsaw Massacre". Then I went to the samples for the main role in the film "Love and Colt 45 caliber", but it was rejected. However, Renee did not take obstinacy, and after a few weeks, learning that the actress had never been found, she decided to try again - and she was lucky. This role was the first truly serious and significant. Renee noticed. Renee moved to California, got herself an agent. From the parents, she inherited not only a difficult-to-pronounce surname and an idealistic idea of love, but also a stubbornness: it helped the older generation to settle in a new country, and the young actress, with the help of stubbornness, overcame all obstacles on the way to her goal. The first year she had to interrupt, filming in advertising. There was even a period of lack of money, when she lived in an empty garage with her friends. But Renee did not give up: she was sure that one day she would be appreciated.
Four-legged talisman.
Once, in a terrible downpour, Renee found under the wall of the garage a little shivering puppy mongrel and took it myself: bought, fed, called Wuf ... And wholeheartedly attached to the furry orphan. "Wuf came into my life when I was alone and I was so lacking in tenderness," she later said, explaining why she so adored the dog and refuses to go to the shooting if it requires Wuf to part with it. Perhaps fate rewarded René for the kindness shown: soon after the appearance of Wufa Rene in her house, she finally began to carry with the roles. Approved for the main role of writer Novelin Pryce in the film "The Whole World" actress Olivia Dabo became pregnant, and the script was sent to Renee Zellweger. At that time, Renee experienced a very difficult period. Her lover Sima Ellison, a beginner musician, was carried away by drugs and committed suicide, realizing that he would not get rid of the addiction. Renee was deeply shocked by his death, she was mourning, she did not want to act in films, but the fate of Nouveline Price seemed to her similar to her own destiny: Novevel loved Robert Howard, the author of the saga of Conan Varvara, and was forced to survive his depression and his suicide ... Renee had to play practically herself. And she played - brilliantly. Then the film was seen by Gayil Levin, the casting manager of TriStar, and offered Renee a role in the film Jerry Maguire. This was another significant step forward, because Renee's partner on the set was to be himself, Tom Cruise, who was then at the height of popularity! The same role was also claimed by the best actresses of Hollywood, but they chose Renee Zellweger. As Cameron Crowe explained later: "We chose Rene not only because of her acting data, but believe me, she is an actress from God, but also because she is the only one who would not flirt with Tom Cruise on the set." Interesting roles fell from the cornucopia: in the film "True Values" Renee had to play next to Meryl Streep and William Hurt, in "Bach" - with Chris O'Donnell, and in the comedy "Ya Snovaya and Irene" - with Jim Kerry, which again was then at the height of popularity. A close attention of critics Renee attracted after the film "Sister Betty", for which she was awarded the Golden Globe Award.
Art requires sacrifice.
The success of the comedy "Diary Bridget Jones" made Rene popular all over the world. Actually, Rene Zellweger considers his best role to be the fascinating killer of Rocky in the Chicago musical, but fame and love brought her the role of Bridget Jones - bbw and losers. Whether the super popularity of the novel Helen Fielding was the reason, Rooney's toly simply looks more organically in the image of unpretentious Bridget than spicy Roxy. Renee does not like this at all. She understands the importance of Bridget's role in her career - the fee for "Bridget Jones - 2. The Edge of the Reasonable" set her on par with the highest paid actress in Hollywood, with Julia Roberta! But still Renee always sees herself as an athlete and a ballerina, and not a devourer of pizza and donuts ... When she played Roxy, she managed to dance so dashingly tap dancing and flaunting in such elegant outfits! And for the role of Bridget both for the first and second time had to recruit 15 kilograms, and the basis of her "diet" for 6 weeks before the shooting were hateful pizza, french fries and donuts. Twenty donuts a day to get better from the 6th to the 14th size. "At first it was just funny. And I decided to extend the pleasure for a few more weeks. Then I was already struggling with food. Sometimes my own weight began to enrage me so much that I was ready to run until I fell, just to regain myself in my former form. " And when the shooting was over, it took months of training and yoga to regain its usual shape.
During the preparation for the role, Renee not only gained extra pounds, but also got used to the role: she settled in England, learned to speak with a British accent, got a job as a secretary in the publishing house. There, nobody guessed that Renee was not an Englishwoman or a movie actress. She even sympathized, seeing how quickly this fat and diligent girl gets fat. "My mother, all my life, considered me an ugly loser. But who would have thought that it would be possible to earn millions on this! "Renee said after the film was released. She herself was surprised: "The most important thing is that everyone dreams of being of zero size, I had a huge success with men when I got better before the fourteenth. After filming in the "Diary ..." I looked for a while, like my heroine. And the men, flirting with me, asked to leave something from Bridget for Renee. " Due to the fact that she had to recruit and lose weight so many times, René had serious heart problems. However, the actress refers to the deterioration of health as "wounds received in battle." After all, she is a warrior of the cinema, true to her oath ... "I never finish work on the film with the thought: what a happiness that IT is over," says Renee. For her in the movie, happiness is not a result, but a process. When Renee was invited to appear in the filename of "Chicago", she was amazed: "I can not imagine how I could invite me to a" singing "role! I sing only under the shower and for my dog ... ". But Roxy was a real success for her. Rene even predicted the "Oscar" - although she received only the second Golden Globe. His "Oscar" Renee Zellweger received for the best supporting role in the film "Cold Mountain". This film brought her not only the highest award, but also a new friendship - with Nicole Kidman. "Do you know how we became friends with Nicole on the set of" Cold Mountain "? Together they raked the manure into the stable! "Rene laughs.
Kenya Chesney's mistake.
Renee's friends and relatives believe that Kenya Chesni loves her so far and still has not lost hope of regaining relations and again getting René to be his wife. He often calls her parents and girlfriends, congratulates him on family holidays, asks about Ren, trying at least to some extent to be involved in her life. His mistake was that he wanted to create a normal family with Rene. He wanted Renee to have a baby as soon as possible. He insisted that she was not in a hurry with the signing of another contract for filming, that she spent more time at home to rest and take care of her health, and how she could better prepare the body for pregnancy. Rene herself did not feel ready for motherhood. In the end, in Hollywood, give birth later. And now, at the peak of a career, to sacrifice everything - and for what? For the sake of family happiness? But ordinary women can be satisfied with this, and she, Renee, is an unusual, and the main happiness for her is to act in films! Kenya has taken the liberty to say that in fact Renee is very much ready and wants a baby, she just does not realize it and transfers unrealized motherly feelings to ... her doggie Woof. Renee screamed back that the dog she loves because she had no best friend and no Kenya just does not understand anything, because he's a stale man and a tyrant in general.
In fact, Kenya loved his wife so passionately and possessively that she was jealous of everything that took her attention: to her friends and family , and even to her old dog, and most importantly - to roles. But Renee did not even try to understand her husband's feelings. She was only offended and angry, and did not want to give in to anything.
Renee agreed to go to the family psychologist Kenya found. But nothing could save their marriage. Perhaps this was a mistake from the very beginning: Kenya Chesney thought that he would marry a charming woman with whom he is associated with mutual love and a dream of conjugal happiness ... But Ren Zellweger was and remains primarily an actress: she will always have a movie for her the first place. So a man who loves Renee will have to accept her as she is. And together with her love her role.
