The Bridget Jones actress looked incredibly different at an event in 2014. It sparked loads of media chatter that she went under the knife and had massive amounts of work done on her face. Zellweger took it all in stride and chalked it up to living a more pleasant, less-stressful life, which manifested in her appearance. She told People, "I'm glad folks think I look different! I'm living a different, happy, more fulfilling life, and I'm thrilled that perhaps it shows." She also suggested that the fact that she took a break from the brutal and exhausting Hollywood grind and reducing her workload made her less visible and therefore less memorable to the public. "People don't know me in my 40s," she noted, making an extremely valid point. If taking a movie-making timeout resulted in this sort of smooth skin and glow, perhaps more A-listers should follow her lead.
