Renee Zellweger: I had to be at Obama’s inauguration even though it was cold

Renee Zellweger has revealed she attended Barack Obama’s presidential inauguration incognito last week.

While most celebrities shelled out on expense seats to watch the swearing-in then donned their best evening attire for the various balls that evening, Renee has revealed she only decided to go at the last minute.

She explained this week: “It was incredible… I was rubbing shoulders with about three million people that day. I just had to be there.

“I wasn’t prepared, I wasn’t prepared for how emotional it was going to be. I was prepared for the crowd, I was prepared for the cold, I was prepared to hike the three miles…

“I got on a train. I really didn’t plan well, I had no access, no ticket. I just thought I’d follow the crowd.

“I am so glad I was there, regardless of the fact I couldn’t feel my toes for three days after the fact.”
