Renee Zellweger reveals reason behind 6-year acting break

Renee Zellweger revealed why she took a six-year break from acting.

The 55-year-old star appeared in the february issue of British Vogue, where she shared the reason behind more than half a decade of acting hiatus from 2019 to 2016.

"Because I needed to. I was sick of the sound of my own voice," she began.

"When I was working, I was like, 'Oh, my gosh, listen to you. Are you sad again, Renée? Oh, is this your mad voice?' It was a regurgitation of the same emotional experiences," Zellweger detailed.

During her resting period the actress "wrote music and studied international law."

She also "built a house, rescued a pair of older doggies, created a partnership that led to a production company, advocated for and fundraised with a sick friend and spent a lot of time with family and godchildren and driving across the country with the dogs."

"I got healthy," she noted.

The publisher inquired if she would choose acting again if she do over her life again, Zellweger responded, "I’m not sure that the way that it works now, celebrity and all of that stuff, I don’t know that that suits me."
