Zellweger has played the spunky and charmingly imperfect Brit in Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001), Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (2004) and 2016’s Bridget Jones’s Baby. (The trilogy is based on Helen Fielding’s 1996 novel.)

Since wrapping the flick, Zellweger has been gearing up to work behind the camera. “I have something that I’m going to do this summer that I haven’t done before and so I’m looking forward to that,” she told Us.

When asked if it’s directing, she replied: “Yeah, we’ll see. We’ll see how that goes. We’ll see what happens!”
