Renee Zellweger is on the verge of achieving a groundbreaking milestone with her beloved character Bridget Jones. This iconic role has captivated audiences since its inception, and now, Renee may be poised to make history.
For those unfamiliar, Renee received her first Oscar nomination for her performance in the pivotal role of Bridget Jones in the classic romantic comedy Bridget Jones’ Diary, released in 2001.
