Renee Zellweger hires voice coach for ‘Bridget Jones’ Baby’

Now, with filming for “Bridget Jones’ Baby” underway in London, Zellweger is having trouble remembering how she mastered Bridget’s English accent.

“Renee has been working on her accent with a voice coach and understands the importance of ensuring her accent is as good as it was in the previous two films,” a source said.

“Renee’s plummy English accent became one of Bridget’s best known characteristics in the films – and of course she came up with it herself. But with such a long time passing between the last movie and now, she’s actually not completely certain how she did it – so has brought in an expert to make sure it’s spot on,” it added.
