Renee explains Russell comment
Renee Zellweger is desperate to explain her thoughts about working with Russell Crowe after one recent interview made it seem as if she found him difficult to work with.
The Bridget Jones' Diary star admitted that working with the intense New Zealand actor on the set of boxing drama The Cinderella Man was "tough" and he gave her a hard time, but Zellweger insists she welcomed the opportunity to work with someone so driven.
She explains: "Russell is very serious about the way that he approaches his work and the way that his characters come to life, and his level of commitment, in terms of how far he's willing to go to realise a character.
"Creatively, it's so much more satisfying to work with someone like Russell, who really wants it to be honest and he wants the integrity of the project to be maintained throughout.
"He is so kind and so understanding of everybody else's position, and it's just such a gift."
