Renée Zellweger’s recent appearance in Los Angeles has raised eyebrows among her fans, who are now calling her out on social media.

The 55-year-old’s frail frame has ignited conversations about her health, as fans speculate that she might be ill. While Renée continues to receive admiration for her prowess as an actress, her latest look might be a result of body image concerns or underlying health issues.

Renee’s recent weight loss has the people around her worried as it appears to be happening at an alarming rate. Observers estimate that the 5-foot-4 actress now weighs around 88 lbs, a significant drop from the 115 lbs she was back in 2016. Her gaunt appearance has led some to speculate that she is going the extra mile to look unnatural.
Renee has always maintained a naturally slim figure; however, her current state is extreme. Although not directly involved in caring for her, some experts have noted that such a rapid reduction in weight could lead to serious health risks. Her recent transformation might also not be a deliberate choice, giving her loved ones something to watch out for.
Renée Zellweger once put on weight for a movie
It is not the first time Renée’s appearance has been a topic of public interest. Due to her commitment to her roles, she once gained weight on purpose for her portrayal of Bridget Jones in 2001’s Bridget Jones’s Diary and its sequel three years later, The Edge of Reason. She transformed into a size 12 in order to embody the relatable, weight-conscious character, who became a symbol of self-acceptance for many fans of the movie.
For the upcoming 2025 installment, Mad About the Boy, sources suggest Renée won’t be undergoing a similar transformation. Her character is said to have evolved, with less focus on weight and appearance compared to earlier installments.
