Renee Zellweger Visits Letterman

Wearing a candy apple red dress, the Bee Movie babe made the visit as part of her promotional duties for her new movie Leatherheads.

Co-starring George Clooney, Leatherheads is a romantic comedy set in the world of 1920s football, where the owner of a professional team drafts a strait-laced college sensation, only to watch his new coach fall for his fiancée.

Of choosing Renee for the role, Clooney told press: “She was the only person I ever thought of to do it. Three or four scenes were written in the original script that really sounded like her voice, and then you just had to think about Renée delivering them. She is so good at this kind of stuff. There are very few actors, not just actresses, but actors that don’t feel contemporary. If you took them and put them in a period piece it feels like it’s 2008 in the middle of a period piece. And she doesn’t. She’s really good at being able to do that.”
