Renee Zellweger revealed the hard time she was going through when she received that call that changed everything.
If Renée Zellweger is mentioned, it is almost impossible to imagine her in the role of Bridget Jones, the film saga in which she starred and which gave her the greatest popularity around the world. However, that role is not the most memorable of the actress, who established herself as one of the few to win the four most important awards in the film industry: two Oscars, a Golden Globe, a BAFTA, and an Actors Union.
Despite her extensive career in the film industry, the actress will forever carry in her heart one of the roles she played and that really saved her life, the one she did in the film Jerry Maguire in which she starred with Tom Cruise and which took her to stardom. Although it was not the first tape in which she participated, it was the one that opened the doors to endless opportunities, but that is not why she saved her life.
Cameron Crowe, the director of the film, put Renée Zellweger through a lot of tests, first alone and then with her co-lead, who had already been selected for some time, to see if she was the ideal woman for the role. That was not an easy process at all, but she really needed it and gave everything to be selected.
What happened is that Crowe was looking for a new face within the industry, someone refreshing to create the Dorothy Boyd that he had imagined in her head, and with the actress he was not wrong, because without a doubt he got it. But what she did not know is that when she was calling her star to let her know that she had been selected, she found herself finding out that she did not have a single peso left in her bank account and that she had to get a job.
It had been a while since Renée Zellweger had gotten a role and a job to support herself, and she was losing hope. But that notice from her and Jerry Maguire changed her life forever because since she made that renowned production, she never lacked opportunities and she was even lucky enough to take time away from Hollywood for herself when she needed it.
