Three years after starring in Bridget Jones's Diary, Renée
Zellweger found slipping back into the role of the titular British
singleton for the sequel challenging beyond the much ballyhooed weight
gain.
For The Edge of Reason, the Texan admits that she had difficulty
relearning Bridget's signature quirky way of speaking.
"I was terrified of it because it was something that evolved and became
very colloquial in a very specific way last time."
To reprise the critically acclaimed role, Zellweger had to come to terms
with Bridget's seemingly desperate actions, especially when, after
having only dated six weeks, she demands that Darcy reveal whether or
not he'd consider marrying her.
"I think it becomes pretty evident that she knows that she's made a big
mistake there. ... But she never fails to trudge forward and to believe
that she's gonna be fine and she always moves on. That's strength to me."
