Renée Zellweger has revealed that she prefers to walk to high-profile awards shows such as the Oscars rather than take a swanky limo ride like most celebrities.
The Bridget Jones star 52, shared some of her unique pre-show habits during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon this week, which included uncommon modes of transport before glamorous events.
Zellweger explained that the rituals allow her to remain "grounded" during these "once-in-a-lifetime" experiences.
The actress opened up about the rituals after Fallon asked her whether she gets excited by the awards, such as the 2020 Oscars, where she won Best Actress for her role in Judy.
Take a listen to Renée Zellweger open up about her pre-show ritual:
"I want to be grounded … So I have a couple of rituals and things that I like to do before I go - I like to walk," she told Fallon.
"I don't like to get in the car, you know, the long limo ride. 'Cause I don't like getting out and it's all crazy and people screaming and stuff. So I sneak in."
Fallon promptly asked: "You walk to the Oscars?" to which Zellweger replied: "I walk to the Oscars."
After Fallon told Zellweger that her revelation is the "greatest thing I've ever heard," Zellweger explained that she likes to "sneak in" to the Academy Awards because she likes to avoid all the people staring at the stars on the red carpet.
What's more, she revealed that the closest hotel room was half a mile away.
"You walked a half a mile to the Oscars?" Fallon asked, prompting her to confirm: "I did. In shoes taller than this. And I don't recommend it. But it is a good exercise for keeping you grounded."
Zellweger then revealed that it had also been raining that night, joking that she was "extra grounded when I got there".
"The girls know what I'm talking about - you do your hair, and then you're like: 'Oooh,'" she added.
As for how she celebrated her Oscar win, the actor told Fallon that she went back to her hotel and had a small private dance party with her friends.
