Renee Zellweger was spotted on the New York City set of Only Murders in the Building this week after debuting a shocking new look for the Hulu show.
The 56-year-old Bridget Jones sensation was joined by fellow Hollywood vet Bobby Cannavale, who once had a role on Sex and the City.
Details about Zellweger’s character have been kept secret, but co-star Selena Gomez recently posted pictures from the set featuring Zellweger.
During Tuesday’s shoot, Zellweger showcased her new ginger-toned bob with a side part and flipped ends, as well as her expressive features.
The actress, previously noted for her smooth look, wore wide-leg beige trousers, a matching handbag, an ivory coat, and a salmon-pink blouse complemented by a coordinating scarf.
Her appearance at the Elle Magazine 21st Annual Women in Hollywood event in 2014 first set off rumors that she may have had cosmetic surgery after a news outlet wrote about the possibility.
In a statement to People soon after, Zellweger claimed it was her lifestyle that was responsible for her youthful appearance.
‘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!’
When the rumors didn’t die, she wrote an essay for the Huffington Post in 2017 denying she had made any nips or tucks.
‘Not that it’s anyone’s business, but I did not make a decision to alter my face and have surgery on my eyes,’ she maintained.
The Cold Mountain star said that kind of speculation ‘saturates our culture, perpetuates unkind and unwise double standards, lowers the level of social and political discourse, standardizes cruelty as a cultural norm, and inundates people with information that does not matter.’
Meanwhile on the Tuesday set, her co-star Cannavale, 55, wore two different outfits for their outdoor scene.
He was outfitted in a dark gray suit, a black shirt, and black dress shoes during one part of the work day.
At another point he looked stylish in pale gray joggers, a white jacket, and white Reebok sneakers.
On April 23 Only Murders in the Building creator and star Steve Martin shared an Instagram photo featuring the camera crew and Zellweger’s image on a monitor.
The two-time Oscar winner wore a blue neckerchief and matching slacks while sittign with co-stars.
Her first day on the fifth season set was March 26.
Martin Short’s rumored girlfriend Meryl Streep will reprise her role as his onscreen girlfriend Loretta Durkin in the forthcoming installment.
And Michael Cyril Creighton will return to play Arconia resident Howard Morris.
Téa Leoni, Keegan-Michael Key, Beanie Feldstein, and Jermaine Fowler have also joined the award-winning ensemble for season five.
OMITB follows Charles-Haden Savage (Martin), Oliver Putnam (Martin Short) and Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez), a trio of neighbors who bond over their interest in true crime.
Gomez, Martin, and Short are said to earn more than $600,000/episode to produce and star in the critically-acclaimed who-done-it.
The imminent season will center around cracking their doorman Lester’s (Teddy Coluca) unsolved murder.
Speaking to The Wrap in January, producer Dan Fogelman teased ‘another big fun mystery the writers have been cooking up.’
He marveled about the writers’ ‘ability to take those three guys who are so comfortable in the skin of those roles now’ and start a ‘new story with them and explore new aspects of their friendship and new aspects of their lives.’
