After almost a decade since the last instalment of\u00a0Bridget Jones<\/em>, our all-time favourite celeb BFF, Renee Zellweger returned to our screens in February and, oh how we\u2019ve missed her!<\/p>\n Her return, however, did nothing to dampen down a decade of rumours that Renee, 56, has undergone plastic surgery, with her recent photo shoot\u00a0for fashion bible\u00a0Vogue<\/em>\u00a0leading fans to speculate that her suspected cosmetic procedures had gotten \u2018out of control\u2019.<\/p>\n \u2018A stunning lady that for some reason has been made unrecognisable?\u2019 wrote one fan, while others added that her face appears \u2018plastic\u2019 and \u2018uncanny\u2019 \u2013 even going as far as to say the images had been generated by AI.<\/p>\n But last week, fans of Renee\u2019s natural beauty will have breathed a sigh of relief when behind-the-scenes snaps from her new show, Hulu\u2019s\u00a0Only Murders in the Building<\/em>, were published.<\/p>\n Sporting a short red bob and displaying natural forehead lines and a sprinkling of pretty crinkles across her eyes when smiling at a co-star, fans praised Renee as \u2018oh so lovely\u2019 and \u2018beautiful\u2019 \u2013 further noting that she \u2018looks like herself again\u2019.<\/p>\n Now an insider reveals that the reason behind Renee\u2019s latest, more natural, look is her new love, Ant Anstead, 46, who they tell us is \u2018turned off\u2019 by too many Hollywood nips and tucks and loves Renee , just as she is\u2026<\/p>\n The\u00a0insider says, ‘To many, Renee is looking more \u2018age-appropriate\u2019 these days and letting her face fall back into more natural lines, and that\u2019s something Ant definitely approves of.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/GettyImages-2214377415-scaled.jpg” alt=”Jennifer Aniston” title_text=”Celebrity Sightings In New York – May 13, 2025″ force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] Looking more natural in Only Murders In The Building<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] \u2018It was him who totally shifted Renee\u2019s mindset. He\u2019s got a very different view on all the fakeness in Hollywood and actually finds it a big turn-off.<\/p>\n \u2018He tells her all the time that he loves her natural beauty and that she doesn\u2019t need to do a thing. That consistent reassurance has gone a long way to undoing the toxic messages she\u2019s gotten from people in the industry.\u2019<\/p>\n Her role as ice-cream swigging, big knickers aficionado Bridget, who the world first fell in love with back in 2001, has always been both a blessing and a curse when it comes to the ever-circling speculation over Renee\u2019s face and body.<\/p>\n With a size 14 reportedly being the average dress size of a woman in the UK, Bridget became the ultimate representative for single women nationwide in her hapless and humour-filled search for a Happy Ending.<\/p>\n However, in 2014, just two years before the release of the film\u2019s third instalment,\u00a0Bridget Jones\u2019s Baby<\/em>, her appearance on the red carpet of the\u00a0Elle<\/em>\u00a0Women in Hollywood Awards sparked so much outrage from fans that she was forced to release a statement, in which she declared, \u2018I did not make a decision to have surgery on my face and alter my eyes\u2019.<\/p>\n In 2019 she described the scrutiny over her looks as \u2018the hardest kick\u2019 and admitted it had felt like \u2018international humiliation\u2019.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/GettyImages-75500434-scaled.jpg” alt=”Perdro Pascal” title_text=”%22One True Thing%22 Los Angeles Premiere – September 16, 1998″ force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] Fresh faced in 1998<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] But after confessing at the time that she had been trying to \u2018fit into some mould that didn\u2019t belong to me\u2019, the source now adds, \u2018Because of the Hollywood machine Renee was made to feel really self-conscious about aging, even when she was in her 30\u2019s she was being told that her time as a star wasn\u2019t going to last long because soon she\u2019d be \u2018too old\u2019 to get any good parts.<\/p>\n \u2018It was so demoralising, she felt like she had no choice but to try and keep up with all her peers who were doing plastic surgery.\u2019<\/p>\n Her tumultuous love life has also been a source of constant rumours, having dated A-listers like Jim Carrey and Bradley Cooper, and having divorced country singer Kenny Chesney just four months into their marriage back in 2005.<\/p>\n Now there is no doubt that meeting and falling in love with TV presenter Ant Anstead when she appeared on his show Celebrity IOU Joyride<\/em> back in 2021marked a huge turning point for Renee.<\/p>\n But they say it took a few choice words from Ant to convince her to tone down her look and we\u2019re told, \u2018She must admit she feels good about the way she looks now, and other people seem to be responding favourably as well.\u2019<\/p>\n And the source says the confidence she now feels in her new relationship has led to Renee undergoing a transformation that has solely been about embracing her perceived \u2018flaws\u2019 within the fickle \u2018rules\u2019 of Hollywood.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/GettyImages-457568544-scaled.jpg” alt=”Perdro Pascal” title_text=”ELLE’s 21st Annual Women In Hollywood Celebration – Arrivals” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] Unrecognisable in 2014<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] They add, \u2018She used to obsess over every little line and sun spot and bit of sagging skin, she was so critical of herself. But she\u2019s working really hard at changing that kind of negative talk, she\u00a0knows it’s self-destructive.<\/p>\n \u2018She still wants to look her best but now she\u2019s more focused on healthy living instead of quick fixes. She\u2019s not saying she\u2019ll never do anything again, but she\u2019s dialled it way back and is focusing on learning to love her natural face.\u2019<\/p>\n These days Renee is just as likely to be seen in a baseball cap walking her rescue dogs in the park as she is on a red carpet, and the source says Ant tells her she is \u2018the most beautiful woman in the world\u2019.<\/p>\n The source adds, \u2018She wants to appreciate the skin she\u2019s in instead of beating herself up all the time, Renee has made huge strides towards self-acceptance and there\u2019s no doubt Ant is a huge part of that.<\/p>\n \u2018He loves her so unconditionally and thinks she\u2019s the most beautiful woman in the world, not because she\u2019s perfect, but because of who she is as a person, her heart is
