Renée Zellweger is relishing the chance to make a new 'Bridget Jones' movie.
The 46-year-old actress has reprised the iconic role for the new movie, 'Bridget Jones's Baby', and has revealed she's loved reuniting with the cast, which includes Oscar-winning star Colin Firth.
Renée - who appeared in the two earlier movies, in 2001 and 2004 - shared: "It's really a nice reunion with old friends. And it's always wonderful to be back in London and I love this character so it's been a real treat to get to revisit it again."
The American star also revealed she never thought a third 'Bridget Jones' movie would come to fruition.
But she told E! Online: "I'm really glad to be doing it."
Meanwhile, it was recently reported that Renée had been enjoying a high-calorie diet of chips and liquid shakes in a bid to pile on the pounds in order to play the titular heroine once more.
An insider previously said: "She knows she can't play Bridget with her naturally skinny frame."
Renée gained approximately two stone to play Bridget in the first two movies, both of which featured Colin Firth as Mark Darcy.

Rachel Weisz is eager to play a spy with "a large sexual appetite".
The 45-year-old actress is married to James Bond star Daniel Craig and although she's dismissed the idea of introducing a female 007 as "nonsense", Rachel would be happy to play a similarly compelling secret agent.
The London-born star told The Sun newspaper: "I love the franchise, so I'm for hire.
"The idea of Janine Bond is just nonsense, but there is room in the world for a female spy willing to die for her country who has a large sexual appetite. Why not?"
Earlier this month, Rachel - who recently starred alongside Colin Farrell and Léa Seydoux in 'The Lobster' - revealed she would been keen to play an alcoholic at some stage in her career.
The actress - who tied the knot in 2011 - shared: "I suppose it's interesting to play someone who's committed to something. Even if someone's committed to alcoholism; I would be very interested in that.
"It doesn't matter if it's forces of good or forces of destruction or self-destruction. Yeah, to be full of appetite is interesting. Otherwise, to be passive, it's hard to play that."

Danny Boyle thinks Steve Jobs' working life was similar to that of a film director.
The 58-year-old movie-maker has helmed the new film about the Apple co-founder and has revealed he sees "similarities" between his chosen profession and what the tech whiz did on a day-to-day basis.
Speaking at the premiere of 'Steve Jobs' in London's Leicester Square, Danny told BANG Showbiz: "[In the film], Seth Rogen - who's playing Steve Wozniak - says to him, 'You're not an engineer, you're not a designer, you can't compute, you can't code - what do you do?' And you know, you feel like that sometimes as a filmmaker. Because, you know, if the camera is broken, I can't fix them and I can't act and I can't do make-up or anything like that ... but you kind of try and have a vision of something that all the people who do have those abilities, you synthesize their talents to that one focal point.
"I'm not comparing myself to Steve Jobs, believe me, but there are some similarities to his job to what film directors do."
Danny also said the new movie is distinguished from previous portrayals of Jobs' life because it doesn't give a distorted view of the Apple boss.
He said: "One of the great things about doing a story of his like this is that doesn't follow exactly what Apple would like you to believe. It's actually independent from these huge companies and actually tells its own story."

Kate Winslet was paranoid about fluffing her lines while making 'Steve Jobs'.
The 40-year-old actress - who stars as Joanna Hoffman, a member of the original Mac team, in the new Danny Boyle-directed movie - has revealed she became anxious during shooting because of the lengthy nature of the script.
Kate shared: "When I first read it I looked at page one and page two and thought, 'God these people talk for a long time. Oh God they're still talking... page 55 and they're still talking. How the f**k are we going to get through this one?'"
The actress stars alongside Michael Fassbender in the movie and admitted she was determined to not forget her lines.
She said: "Much is being made about the length of the script and how much there was to learn but you're an actor, you learn your f**king lines and that's the first thing you do, you just get on with it.
"The pressure really is in not forgetting the words, that really is it because you f**k everybody up if you drop a word. The whole thing melts into utter dogs**t, it really does."

Chris Martin is recording music for 'The Office' movie.
The Coldplay frontman has reportedly teamed up with Ricky Gervais - who played the hapless David Brent in the award-winning sitcom - to record music for the soundtrack of the eagerly-awaited new film, titled 'Life On The Road'.
An insider told The Sun newspaper: "Chris has known Ricky for years. They're good friends and he is always up for getting involved in his projects.
"He went to visit Ricky last week and they had great fun messing around in the studio."
Ricky's latest project is being made without the help of his long-time friend and co-writer Stephen Merchant, who was also the co-director of the original sitcom.
A source close to the situation previously said: "Ricky has every right to do a David Brent movie on his own but fans will understandably be gutted to have it confirmed that Stephen is not involved at all.
"Together they created one of the all-time classic TV shows with 'The Office', and all their projects as a team have been so well received."
Meanwhile, Ricky previously revealed the new movie will explore the private life of David Brent.
He said: "I'm so excited that the world will see what David Brent is up to now and where his future lies.
"This film delves much more into his private life than 'The Office' ever did, and we really get to peel back the layers of this extraordinary, ordinary man."

Liam Hemsworth thinks fame is a "rollercoaster".
The 'Hunger Games' star admits he sometimes struggles with how "chaotic" his life can get but insists most of the time things are "pretty calm".
He said: "The fame is a normal part of my job. It's really nice to see how happy it makes people when they meet me. The only time things get really chaotic is when we head off on a press tour for a film. Then it really feels like an adrenaline-fuelled rollercoaster. There's just so much going on at once!
"But that's not my day-to-day life. It's not like there are screaming fans waiting at every corner! My everyday life is generally pretty calm."
And the 25-year-old actor prefers hanging out with his older brothers, Chris, 32, and Luke, 33, in their native Australia as he can escape the paparazzi but admits his life is "nowhere near as free and easy" as it was before.
He told Germany's Bravo magazine: "I don't really need any new people in my life ... Just the other day I hit my head on a rock when I was surfing. The difference is that in Australia, no one cares.
"In LA, hundreds of people, including reporters, gather to capture that moment. My life is nowhere near as free and easy as it used to be."

Monica Bellucci says Daniel Craig is "so generous."
The 'SPECTRE' star portrays widow Lucia Sciarra in the new movie opposite the 47-year-old actor's alter-ego James Bond and has admitted he never once made her feel "uncomfortable" during their intimate scenes.
She explained: "Daniel is so generous as an actor and a man, so I was never uncomfortable.
"When you have to do intimate scenes with someone, it's so important for the chemistry to be there - because then it becomes more like a tango."
She added to the Sunday Telegraph's Stella magazine: "But I don't think it's a coincidence that a lot of roles I'm playing now are women coming out of the darkness into the light because I do feel that ageing has given me a new freedom."
The 51-year-old beauty - who is the oldest Bond Girl in the franchise's history - initially thought director Sam Mendes was casting her as the new M, formerly played by Dame Judi Dench, due to her age.
She explained: "I assumed they wanted me to play the new M. I really did but when Sam explained that he wanted 'an adult woman to seduce Bond for the first time,' I realised that this was going to revolutionary. It's such a beautiful example to set for other actresses - and other women."

Abigail Breslin "cried" when she met Zac Efron.
The 19-year-old actress admits she isn't immune to getting star struck despite finding fame as a child in 'Little Miss Sunshine' alongside Toni Collette and Jim Carrey.
She said: "I cried when I met Zac Efron and ran away from him because, well, 'High School Musical'. I also ran away from Ryan Gosling. Hmm, maybe this is why I don't have a boyfriend?"
The 'Scream Queens' star claims she is just a normal teenager and stresses out about guys.
She said: "Somebody once pointed out that I never worry about filming, writing a book or recording an album, but I get totally stressed about a guy not texting me back. I'd say that's pretty normal!
"There are a lot of special people in my life - but I'm not dating any of them, unfortunately."
Meanwhile, Abigail insists she has never been tempted to go wild like other former child stars.
She told In Touch Weekly: "My family kept me grounded. And my friends make sure I don't get a big head. I love what I do too much to ever put it in jeopardy.
"Professionally, I want to keep doing things that challenge me creatively."
