Renee Zellweger has told the Sun newspaper about her The Edge of Reason co-star's being 'grumpy' during filming.

She said: "If Hugh's grumpy he's going to let you know so and he has absolutely no worries about how that makes anyone else feel.

"He was less grumpy on this film than the first. But that's what's so charming - you always know where you stand."

Hugh, with forty TV and film roles under his belt, has recently mentioned that he may not continue with his acting career much longer, though Renee suggested that "It may have been how he felt that day."
