Renée Zellweger Says She Took Acting Break Because She was ‘Sick’ of her Own Voice

Renée Zellweger says she took a six-year break from acting because she was, 'sick of the sound of my own voice.'

Zellweger told Grant that from 2010 to 2016, she became unhappy with her southern twang, in an interview with British Vogue, and decided to pursue other interests. During her six-year acting gap, Zellweger occupied her free time with songwriting and studying international law, she said. “I 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,” she shared.
