Los Angeles, Feb 1 (NationPress) Hollywood actress Renee Zellweger disclosed that she lived out of a suitcase during the peak of her career, not fully unpacking until she reached the age of 41.

The star of Bridget Jones's Diary shared that her schedule was incredibly hectic throughout her 20s and 30s, making it challenging for her to settle in one location until she took a break from Hollywood in 2010.

When asked what advice she would give to her younger self, Zellweger told the Guardian newspaper: "Girl, slow down. Constantly moving around and living out of a suitcase – I didn’t unpack until I was probably 41."

Zellweger expressed that she has no regrets regarding her six-year hiatus from acting, according to reports from femalefirst.co.uk.

She mentioned, "There was much to cherish ... I examined my choices. Because I wasn’t prioritizing my well-being in my 30s, my decisions weren’t always the best … It’s easy to lose sight of yourself amid the chaos."

This revelation comes as Zellweger is gearing up for the release of her fourth Bridget Jones film titled “Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy,” set to hit theaters in February.

The actress noted that she resonates with her character regarding societal pressures on women to marry and have children.

Having been married to musician Kenny Chesney for five months in 2005 and not having children, she remarked, "Choosing not to have children isn’t that unusual, is it? It’s quite common nowadays."

Discussing the character, created by Helen Fielding in a newspaper column during the 1990s: "Isn’t it remarkable that Helen crafted a character that has sparked discussions for 30 years? I believe people connect with her flaws, vulnerability, and fears. Her genuine and relatable nature makes it easy for others to feel like ‘I know her.’"
