Renee Zellweger Cheered Up by Chelsea Soccer Club  9/9/05

Screen beauty Renee Zellweger is such a huge fan of Chelsea soccer club, she can often be spotted cheering them on at their Stamford Bridge stadium when she stays in London. 

The 36-year-old fell in love with the team financed by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich while filming Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason in the British capital, and frequently disguised herself so she could enjoy matches in peace. 

She explains, "I'm a Chelsea fan. I got into them when I lived near the ground. "I've been to quite a few games but no one recognized me, I'm quite good at hiding." 

But despite her love of soccer, the quintessentially English pursuit of cricket still leaves the Cinderella Man beauty stumped. She says, "I sat and watched it and they said it was 244 to 4 - that sounds like devastation in baseball terms! "It's unfathomable. I've no understanding of the game."
