Renée Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones immediately became friends when they worked on “Chicago.” Zellweger raved about Zeta-Jones in her breathy 2003 Golden Globes speech. “[Thank you] Harvey Weinstein. The tough guy on the playground with the biggest heart,” she started off to rapturous applause. Well, that definitely didn’t age well, but at least it could only improve from then on. “Catherine the beauty,” Zellweger decreed. “The laughter and listening to you every day, and being around you, being in your bliss like that. It was such a joy,” she concluded.
Unlike many others, Zeta-Jones and Zellweger’s relationship has stood the test of time. When the two actors reunited on the SAG Awards’ red carpet in 2020, it had been 17 years since they’d worked together. However, according to People, Zellweger and Zeta-Jones “sweetly embraced” before catching up and chatting away like besties.
Later in the evening, Zellweger took to the stage to give an acceptance speech after winning for her role in “Judy.” Thankfully, there was no mention of Weinstein this time, but she gave props to her fellow female actors. “Y’all have taught me so much along the way. And I’m so grateful to you, especially to my sisters,” Zellweger said. Zeta-Jones continued to spread the love after the awards. “Wishing a congratulations to my dear friend Renée on all of your success with ‘Judy.’ It has been amazing to watch you!” She posted on Instagram (via Hello!).
