London: Hollywood star Renee Zellweger is a secret Chelsea fan and likes cricket though she doesn't really understand the rules.

She got interested in football when she was filming in London for the Bridget Jones' movies, thesun.co.uk reports.

She said: "It's got to be the Chelsea Blues, only because of the proximity to the grounds and the rest of the crew. I had to support Chelsea or I'd have been lynched."

"I don't understand the rules of cricket. But that doesn't mean I don't enjoy it. I love watching those guys run around in their little white outfits very much, thank you. Don't tell Hugh Grant that I don't know a thing about cricket because that would be the end of a beautiful friendship," she added.
