Renee Zellweger went incognito as she left Sydney Airport to jet back home on Tuesday, following her Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy press run.

The American actor, 55, hid her face beneath a Texas Longhorns hat as she slipped on a pair of dark designer sunglasses while leaving the country. 

Tucking her blonde tresses beneath her cap, the Hollywood star also donned a long-sleeved black shirt and a pair of grey straight-legged slacks. 

She opted for a cross-body bag and backpack as carry on luggage before dressing in comfortable footwear with a set of black sneakers. 

The Bridget Jones lead wasn't entirely successful in staying under the radar, however, as she was spotted chatting with fans before her flight.

Renee's sighting at the airport comes after her co-star Leo Woodall left Nova radio personality Michael 'Wippa' Wipfli red-faced during an interview earlier in the day.

The British actor, 28, snapped at the Aussie star during an interview when Wippa, 45, asked him about his love life.  

The breakfast host was interviewing Leo and Renee, who played on-screen love interests, about Bridget Jones when the subject quickly turned to their personal lives.

Leo is currently in a relationship with his White Lotus co-star Meghann Fahy, 34, and is notoriously private about their romance.

'Leo, are you in love at the moment?' Wippa asked.

'That's none of your business!' Leo snapped back.

However, Wippa was able to get more out of the film's star Renee, who is in a relationship with English TV actor Ant Anstead.

'Renee, I put you down as someone who would have done a lot of "we're just good friends". Kind of playing hard to get, isn't it?' Wippa joked.

'I do have a lot of good friends! They sort of just start in friend zone,' she responded.

The upcoming fourth Bridget Jones movie, which premiered in Sydney on Sunday night, explores a romance between the title character and a much younger man, played by Leo.

Leo recently said he was pleased to see age gap relationships depicted on screen—especially where the woman is the elder of the pair.

'When two people find the connection, why shouldn't they see where it goes without judgement?' he recently told Stellar Magazine.

'Both dynamics should be equally normalised. It's a good thing that we're getting the reverse because it's not uncommon. It's just not portrayed much in movies.'

Elsewhere in the chat, Leo said he was impressed by the British accent American actress Renee adopted for the character of Bridget Jones.

'I've worked with people that have done that before, and you kind of know that they're doing it,' he explained.

'Whereas with Renee—partly because she's so good, but also because this character has been a part of her for such a long time—nothing about it seemed unnatural in any way.'
