The Bridget Jones star might have been wearing make-up when she was seen recently, but it seems she's changed drastically without it too
Renee Zellweger has been spotted for the first time since she shocked the world with her complete transformation on the red carpet.
And while we silently hoped her new features must be down to make-up, it seems she looks unrecognisable without the slap too.
The Bridget Jones actress - who is best known for playing the happy spinster in the films - appeared hollow-faced and about as far away from her on-screen character as you could get in Mississippi this weekend.
Wearing jogging bottoms and a loose top, Renee smiled happily as she enjoyed a run outside - keeping her hair tied back in a knot above her head.
If we hadn't seen her a matter of days ago, we wouldn't know it was her - and that Cameron Diaz resemblance has never been quite so obvious.
The star sent fans into a frenzy just over a week ago, when she was seen with completely different features at the Elle Magazine 21 Annual Women in Hollywood event.
And she looked very similar (minus the make-up) on her casual run out.
The snaps see her stop to smile at fans, before pursing her lips (in a Bridget-esque way we'll give her that) and carrying on with her jog.
Renee might not appear ready for another Bridget Jones film, but the star was in Mississippi filming new hit Same Kind Of Different As Me.
We can't help feeling a stab of sadness it could be the end of Bridget as we remember her.
The 45-year-old was quick to respond to fans' complete confusion after her red carpet look, and insisted a matter of days later she was glad she had changed.
Speaking to PEOPLE in a statement, the 45-year-old said: "I'm glad folks think I look different! I'm living a different, happy, more fulfilling life, and I'm thrilled that perhaps it shows."
While explaining while she chose to address the speculation about her appearance, she 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."
She continued: "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."
According to Professor Dr. Fuat Yuksel, a surgeon from Longevita “it's apparent that she has undergone a number of subtle cosmetic procedures to change the appearance of her face.”
He told Mirror Celebs: “Renee has undergone some facial procedures to contour the shape of her face including, fillers around her nasolabial folds and cheeks to give her face a fuller appearance, plus botox around the brow area to tighten her skin and make it appear more youthful.”
There could be many reasons for Renee's newfound happiness, one being her super hot boyfriend of course.
The pair started dating back in 2012 and were inseparable at the Elle this month.
Another could be rumours she's preparing to adopt, and Radar Online reports the actress has her heart set on having a family - she's just worried age could be an issue.
And who could deny Renee has had a seriously successful career? Why wouldn't she be over the moon?
