Renee Zellweger's evolving look stirs debate on identity
Under the latest photos of Renee Zellweger for "Vogue," the comments section is filled with remarks about the actress's appearance. Many internet users don't recognize her.
It's undeniable that Renee Zellweger exists in most people's minds as Bridget Jones. This is not surprising, as her role in the series about the clumsy singleton gained her international recognition.
In recent years, however, the media have focused more on the appearance of the star of "Bridget Jones's Diary" than on her professional life. About ten years ago, the actress first surprised everyone with a transformation. Immediately, there was speculation about her using cosmetic procedures. The topic sparked strong emotions because, at the start of her career, she openly criticized such enhancements. When the controversy erupted, Zellweger insisted that her transformation was related to pursuing her own happiness and health.
The metamorphosis of the on-screen Bridget continues. At 55, every time she appears in public, she looks different, and sometimes fans have trouble recognizing her.
Transformed Renee Zellweger: Internet users don't recognize her in new photos
Her latest photos for a British "Vogue" session also confirmed this. Besides the admiration for Renee's transformed appearance, there are plenty of comments under the fashion publication's Instagram posts, where users can't believe Zellweger is the one posing for the photos and comparing her to other well-known individuals.
Omg! New cover Gigi Hadid!; Looks like Lea Seydoux; Young Prince Harry looks wonderful; Looks like Sharon Stone; I thought it was some K-pop singer - they comment.
Others straightforwardly write that the actress overdid it with the adjustments, and the graphic artist with the retouching.
Can this photo be edited even more in Photoshop?; Photoshop in this case is terrifying; It's not Photoshop. It's called plastic surgery, Botox, and fillers; Not a single wrinkle is visible; Who is this? - confused Instagram users write.
And what do you think of Renee's new session?
