I was an extra during the filming of Judy, and i can honestly say off camera Renee is the loveliest most friendly star you will ever meet, I hope she gets an Oscar for Judy, she was amazing xx

[yankeeladee]

She’s so charming and EXTREMELY under appreciated for her enormous talent. I love her energy✨🤩✨

[damselinadress]

I saw the movie. Renee was phenomenal. She made me want to know more about Judy Garland. She definitely deserves Oscar buzz for it.

[karmafairy]

Such a sweet and down to earth person who just happens to be an amazing actress too

I was an extra in the Talk of the Town scenes. When we filmed Renee singing Over the Rainbow, her performance was so powerful and tragic we were all in tears, including the crew. I've never experienced anything like it, it was an honour to have worked on it.

[SelenaDemiMiley]

Adults hiding behind a screen bullying her on her looks. Renee has given us years of happiness on screen.

[claudiagoodman]

I am glad she is back making pictures. I really enjoy watching her. She is a very talented actress and grounded person.

[tomlaud]

I like her take on fame “ It enters the room before you do”

[butterflycombcomb]

I saw the film Judy two days ago...I am still reeling. I have not cried so much in a movie theater since the film TITANIC. Renee deserves the Oscar for Best Actress! I cried my eyes out and my eyes still are red what an emotional performance!

[shilger]

Renée is the real deal. She can act, she can sing, she can dance…she’s the total package! So underrated. The Oscar should be hers. I personally believe that Judy would’ve loved her performance.

[DrewWasMe]

Miss Zellweger is so thoughtfully eloquent in this interview.  I have a new appreciation for her that I didn't have before.

" I was never worried about where things were going, I could feed my dog. I could pay my rent". LOL LITERALLY LIFE GOALS IN YOUR TWENTIES.

[paulbrighton]

This is a genuine star. Well loved in Hollywood by all. I worked the red carpet for years as a cameraman and producer. Never heard a negative thing about her, only what an amazing and genuine human she is. That’s not an easy role to play. She’s the real deal.

[raquelra]

She's so talented, intelligent, adorable and charming! Excellent interview!!!👏👏👏

[janetoss]

Good to see her working. The vulnerability in her is pure gold.

[musicfeign]

As an old gay man, Judy is definitely sacred, I pushed myself to see the film. Renee my dear, enjoy your well deserved Oscar. She had me in tears throughout this movie. And I'm sure those of us still alive who referred to Judy as our gal and called our friends our best Judy, will be in full agreement. Brave performance ms. Zellweger and you deserve the Oscar. I truly believe Judy would agree.

[MD-wkgj]

She comes across as so real. I hope she’s as happy as she seems.

[rafaelsiegel]

Just watched “Judy” and shocked that she was only 47 years old. She looked so much older. So incredibly sad.

[flgirl]

Welcome back Renee Zellweger. We missed you. Can't wait to see the movie :)

[hollygolightly]

This story kept coming up on my "Recommended" and I kept bypassing it, thinking I wouldn't care much for this interview, WOW was I wrong, I'm so happy I chose to watch this interview. Renee is lovely and so down to earth, I'm now really looking forward to seeing this movie!
