The 47-year-old star, previously featured in Bridget Jones's Diary and Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. And now, she is back again to star in Bridget Jones's Baby.

"Especially since I love this character and didn't want to disappoint anybody. I always feel a slight twinge of impostor syndrome when I go to work." She said.

"It's an ever-present sentiment for me that I'll be thinking, 'Okay, this is the time I'm going to be discovered and fired', and after being away for so long, it was strong this time," she added.

"But from the moment I read the script, I was reminded of how much I love Bridget and how much I love her family and her friends, so once I'd gotten past my fear, it was a very happy experience," said Zellweger.

The Cold Mountain star also mentioned that she had fun pretending to be pregnant for her new movie.

"The prosthetic baby bump was a substantial number, and it took a long time to put on and importantly, take off, so I wasn't drinking a lot of water because if I needed to go to the bathroom, everyone would have to wait a good 20 minutes for me to get back,' Zellweger added.
