Renee Cheered Up By Chelsea

  • 09 September 2005

Screen beauty [Renee Zellweger](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/renee-zellweger) is such a huge fan of Chelsea soccer club, she can often be spotted cheering them on at their Stamford Bridge stadium when she stays in London.

The 36-year-old fell in love with the team financed by Russian billionaire ROMAN ABRAMOVICH while filming [Bridget Jones](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/bridget-jones-diary): THE EDGE OF REASON in the British capital, and frequently disguised herself so she could enjoy matches in peace.

She explains, "I'm a Chelsea fan. I got into them when I lived near the ground.

"I've been to quite a few games but no one recognised me, I'm quite good at hiding."

But despite her love of soccer, the quintessentially English pursuit of cricket still leaves the [Cinderella Man](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/cinderella-man) beauty stumped.

She says, "I sat and watched it and they said it was 244 to 4 - that sounds like devastation in baseball terms!

"It's unfathomable. I've no understanding of the game."
