Renée Zellweger Says She Took a 6-Year Hiatus from Acting Because She Was 'Sick of the Sound of My Own Voice'

Renée Zellweger opens up in a February 2025 cover interview for British 'Vogue' about why she took a six-year hiatus from acting, from 2010 to 2016

With her time off, the actress "wrote music and studied international law," she told the magazine. Zellweger 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." Asked if she would still go into acting if she got a life do-over, the Chicago actress said, "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."
