The actress, 39, claimed Mirren was an inspiration for her when she was doing gruelling workout routines.
"I'm doing sit-ups every day so I could maybe look like Helen Mirren in a bikini," she told The Mirror.
Zellweger's latest romantic comedy New In Town, which co-stars Harry Connick Jr, is released later this month.
Mirren was recently awarded a US Naturist Award for promoting "healthy nudity", while Russell Brand and Samuel L Jackson have confessed to having crushes on the 63-year-old Oscar winner.
