Renee Zellweger Sells Her Hampton Mansion For $4.45 Million
Renee Zellweger has sold her Hampton mansion. The "Bridget Jones Diary" actress, who recently became the talk of the town for her transformed looks, has reportedly got $4.45 million by selling off her East Hampton's beach mansion.
According to NY Post, Renee got a buyer for her house within a month of listing it. The actress did not list the property in her name, but in the name of her photographer pal Bruce Weber. The home has four-bedrooms and four- bathrooms. It features a swimming pool and simple farmhouse. The house is located at a desired "south -of -the highway" area and this apparently helped its speedy sale.
"It's not the house that's so valuable - it's the land. And her name doesn't hurt either," a real estate source told the Post. Renee brought the charming property in 2003 for $2.15 million. The property has been endowed with all the modern conveniences, though the traditional architecture of the home has been kept intact. The garage has space for two cars. There is also an overhead attic, which can be used as an extra room. Dr. Jeffrey Geller, an orthopaedic surgeon, is the new owner of the house, according to reports.
Meanwhile, Renee's friend Reese Witherspoon recently spoke against the media scrutiny that "The Bridget Jones Diary's" actress faced after changing her look. "It's horrible. It's cruel and rude and disrespectful," she told Hollywood Reporter about the attention Renee got when she recently made a public appearance. It was also reported that Reese will replace Renee in "The Bridget Jones Diary 3." However, there is no official confirmation on that.
Renee is currently busy shooting for "Same Kind of Different As Me." The film is based on the non-fiction book of the same name by Ron Hall, Denver Moore and Lynn Vincent. It tells a story of friendship between a wealthy art dealer and drifter, Denver Moore. The film also stars Greg Kinnear, Djimon Honsou and Jon Voight. Renee will play the art dealer's wife and will be responsible for introducing the two men. The film is currently in its production stage. Renee will also be seen opposite Keanu Reeves in "The Whole Truth."
