Renee ZellwegerRenee Zellweger may be promoting a film about American Football but she’s revealed she’s also a fan of British sports.

Speaking at the London premiere of Leatherheads on Tuesday, Renee revealed that she became a fan of Chelsea FC while filming the Bridget Jones films: “Only because of the proximity to the grounds and the rest of the crew. I had to support Chelsea or I’d have been lynched.”

Bridget Jones co-star Hugh Grant also introduced her to cricket but she admitted: “I don’t understand the rules.”

“But that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy it. I love watching those guys run around in their little white outfits very much, thankyou.”

“[But] don’t tell Hugh that I don’t know a thing about cricket because that would be the end of a beautiful friendship.”
