Renee Zellweger turned 40 and revealed that she never felt like someone who relied on her looks to get work. The Hollywood darling said: "I'm so sad that everyone keeps pointing to this birthday: 'You had this birthday, how do you feel now?' I'm thinking, I feel nothing different."

Zellweger, who has recently allowed glimpses of her hot new romance with Bradley Cooper, 34, said: "I'm sure that in some respects, yes, it still exists, the idea that the stories are told for younger people. But gosh, I'm so spoiled with respect to the experiences I've had and the opportunities I've had that I don't see it." Zellweger put it plainly, saying: "I've never been that girl who is dependent on how fabulous my hair is or my stature or that I look good in order to work. So I don't really think about it in those terms."
