The Oscar winner opens up to Cojo!
RENEE ZELLWEGER plays an eager journalist in the upcoming 1920's sports comedy 'Leatherheads,' and our man COJO does a little playful digging of his own to find out what it was like for the Oscar winner to play the love interest of gorgeous GEORGE CLOONEY on the mostly male set.
"I won't lie!" she confesses. "I did show up for work early sometimes and just sit on the sidelines and just watch, just watch them throw the pigskin around in those little uniforms."
In 'Leatherheads,' which Clooney also directed, Zellweger is Lexie Littleton, a feisty newswoman who begins to question a young war hero-turned-football player's World War I stories. Meanwhile, Lexie gets caught up in a humorous love triangle between the new kid on the field and the team's captain, Dodge Connolly (Clooney).
