I was wondering, why she hadn´t made any major movies, lately. Now I know why. She´s also a living reminder, to stay away, from plastic surgery.

You probably wouldn't think that images from the Elle Magazine 21 Annual Women in Hollywood event that took place yesterday could be all that shocking - and, to be honest, neither did we.

Then, though, we caught a glimpse of Renée Zellweger, and it couldn't be much more shocking if it tried - because she looks totally different.

The Academy Award-nominated actress is virtually unrecognizable - and it got us thinking...

About the new images (which you can see below), sure. But also about way back in 1996, when Jerry Maguire became pretty much everyone's favorite movie...


Now, sure, we all loved Tom Cruise being all adorable and a changed man and all, and yeah, Cuba Gooding Jr. was awesome, but there was more to it than that.

Specifically, there was this, as Dorothy Boyd, the film's main female character, pulled off this classic line:


One of the most iconic moments in modern cinema, which also just happened to thrust a certain Renée Zellweger into the hearts of millions.

But, then, in 2010, she pretty much dropped off the face of moviedom...

Until, that is, her recent appearance at the Elle Magazine 21 Annual Women in Hollywood event this past Monday.

At which...she didn't look a single thing like Renée Zellweger.

The New Renée


Now, we here at Moviepilot aren't in the business of judging people on their looks - especially since this writer looks an awful lot like an extra from a Star Wars cantina scene when he wakes up in the morning - but, honestly, we genuinely struggled to grasp that this was the same woman who played Bridget Jones just over ten years ago...


And, y'know what? That's totally her choice - and it's not as though she's ever been anything less than striking, if that matters - but it still seems kind of strange that a beautiful, talented 45-year old woman felt she had to change her appearance this much.

And, y'know what? From a movie-lovers perspective, we just kind miss our Dorothy Boyd, our Roxie Hart, and our Bridget Jones.

Especially as there's still Bridget Jones's Baby to be made...
