“Perhaps I look different. Who doesn’t as they get older?” she asked.The 45-year-old actress sparked an internet storm when she appeared at the Elle Women in Hollywood Awards earlier this week looking unrecognisable.In a statement to People magazine, she made no mention of plastic surgery but said instead: “I’m glad folks thing I look different! I’m living a different, happy, more fulfilling life, and I’m thrilled that perhaps it shows.She described the speculation as “silly” and said: “It seems the folks who come digging around for some nefarious truth which doesn’t exist won’t get off my porch until I answer the door.“My friends say that I look peaceful. I am healthy. For a long time I wasn’t doing such a good job with that.“I took on a schedule that is not realistically sustainable and didn’t allow for taking care of myself.“Rather than stopping to recalibrate, I kept running until I was depleted and made bad choices about how to conceal the exhaustion. I was aware of the chaos and finally chose different things.“People don't know me in my 40s. People don’t know me as [healthy] for a while. Perhaps I look different. Who doesn’t as they get older? But I am different. I’m happy.”Zellweger now has a less hectic work schedule and has found happiness with her boyfriend, Doyle Bramhall II."I did work that allows for being still, making a home, loving someone, learning new things, growing as a creative person and finally growing into myself," she said.(telegraph.co.uk)Bakudaily.Az
