WTF Happened to Renee Zellweger?

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

In our latest WTF series, we take a look at some of our favorite stars and filmmakers who have seemingly disappeared or altered their careers over the years to the point that begs the question; WTF happened? Now, before you think we're just picking on celebrities or running some gossip rag stuff, think again! We take a fun (and sometimes funny), researched and fair approach, looking at all angles that led our subject to wherever they are now (which isn't necessarily a bad place at all). If anything, it answers the question on where these fine folks went, how they got there and where you can find 'em now.

In our latest episode of WTF Happened To… we take a look at the career of the multi-talented actress Renee Zellweger, who won our hearts (and had us at hello) with JERRY MAGUIRE, took the romcom genre by storm with the BRIDGET JONES DIARY franchise, danced her way to the top with CHICAGO, brought the laughs with Jim Carrey in ME, MYSELF AND IRENE and took home the gold for her supporting role in COLD MOUNTAIN.

But then, Zellweger seemingly disappeared and was gone for years before re-emerging on the scene out of nowhere, prompting everyone to wonder what had happened to the shooting star. The answer may (or may not) surprise you, but we take a look at where she was and where she's going.

Now, Zellweger is back on the big (and small) screen with a starring role in JUDY (read our review here), playing the legendary actress Judy Garland and fronting the Netflix series What/If, showing that you can't keep a great actress down.
