Renee Zellweger will be transforming into the loveable Bridget Jones again, and we can't wait!
This week, it has been announced that the Hollywood star will be returning to the movie franchise for the fourth film, Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy, which will follow Bridget navigate life as a widow while raising two children.
The 53-year-old actress has been incredibly refreshing when it comes to talking about her own decisions on becoming a parent.
Renee Zellweger has never put pressure on herself to have a child
Back in 2008, she spoke to People about her taken on motherhood, admitting that it has never been one of her ambitions, and that she wasn't going to be putting pressure on herself.
She told the publication: "Motherhood has never been an ambition. I don't think like that. I never have expectations like 'when I'm 19, I’m going to do this, and by the time I've hit 25, I'm going to do that'. I just take things as they come, each day at a time, and if things happen, all well and good. I just want to be independent and be able to take care of myself. Anything else is just gravy."

She said: "I've never really thought like that about anything in my life, really. I've always been kind of open to whatever. Maybe curious… about to see what's next. I've never been deliberate about what would make me happy in my life."
