Zellweger has been a known face in Hollywood since she appeared in the 1995 cult classic Empire Records, and in the next two decades, she claimed to have taken on a schedule that didn't really allow her to take time off and care for herself.
Instead of stopping to recalibrate, she said that she kept running until she was depleted. Subsequently, she admitted that she made bad choices when it came to concealing her exhaustion.
"I was aware of the chaos and finally chose different things,” she said referring to the six-year hiatus she took from acting.
She opted for a healthier, slower-paced lifestyle that allowed her to be still, make a home with her boyfriend, learn new things, and grow as a creative.
Zellweger accepted the possibility that she might look different to some people because they had not seen her healthy.
