Given the recent release of her new movie Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy, it was only fitting that Renée Zellweger would appear on The Kelly Clarkson Show this Valentine’s Day.
The two-time Academy Award winner was joined on the sofa by her co-stars Chiwetel Ejiofor and Leo Woodall. The trio discussed their Valentine’s Day plans with the talk show host and even revealed their secret cartoon crushes.
Kelly asked Renée if there were any cartoons she liked growing up to which the star responded “Oh yeah.”
“A Speeder Racer,” she said.
“I mean, come on. There’s my man.”

“He was all the man I needed,” she added.
In the animated series, the character, named Go Mifune, aspires to be the world’s best race-car champion and drives his father’s high-tech race car, the Mach 5.
While those around her didn’t seem to understand the appeal, Renée said: “But come on, he’s cute right? The hair in the wind and how can you forget the Cuban heels.”
Kelly couldn’t contain her laughter as she responded: “We were very different children.”

The star layered a mesh skirt adorned with floral ivory embroidery over the top. The sultry number was cut elegantly just above the ankle and teamed with a pair of matching pointed-toe heels.
The actress exuded ’90s-minimalism chic as she completed her look with a black headband that was used to sweep her luscious blonde locks out of her face into a low ponytail. Renée kept her makeup natural and radiant with a pinch of blush and a nude-stained lip.
Renée’s confession comes after engagement rumors began circulating about her relationship with her boyfriend, Ant Anstead.

Renée also wore two band-aids on the same finger during the hit movie’s London premiere last month.

In an interview with British Vogue, Renée opened up about her living situation with her partner. “I live in Southern California, near San Diego,” she shared. “Because that’s where my fellow lives, and his little boy.”
