RENEE ZELLWEGER is so concerned about security she refuses to live at any of the luxury homes she owns.
The BRIDGET JONES actress admits past experiences with stalkers have left her mentally scarred, and she is unable to settle down in any one place for fear another crazed fan may threaten her.
She says, "I have places to live but I don't live there because I don't have time to get there and because I've had people show up at these houses so it's not a friendly place for a girl who is single without a dog to live. So I don't tend to go there.
"It's scary if there is a car idling outside your house on your 40 acres in the middle of the woods at four in the morning. And as a girl your instincts are to be scared of this and what am I going to do? And that doesn't make for a very good night's sleep.
"Your instincts kick in and your adrenalin rushes, and you realise you can't live there. It's sad, but that's how it works. It's no big deal. It's just a job hazard.
"I don't want to own a gun, but sometimes at four in the morning when there is a car outside, you do think about it."
