Added Zellweger of her character in the films, “I find her so endearing…her self-deprecating sort of determination. I love her. And I think it’s really rare to get to follow a character through different stages in her life.”
“And in a way that we find her relatable, because she parallels our own life experiences at that time. Yeah, I hope so. I mean, Helen did write another book, so there’s that,” she continued.
In October 2016, Zellweger told PEOPLE she loved playing Jonesagain, saying, “Well, she’s a bit older, she’s matured, professionally, she’s more accomplished.” Yet Jones “still doesn’t quite have it all together,” she shared.
During the chat about her latest crime drama on NBC, Zellweger also discussed the early days in her career when she first rose to fame after starring inJerry MaguirealongsideTom Cruise.
“It was weird. I guess not naive,” she said. “I wasn’t naive, but I wasn’t really paying attention to certain things, which was probably helpful.”
“I was sort of just living on the inside of the experiences and not worrying about perception or what people would say, or I wasn’t privy to those things,” she added.
