During the New York premiere of her film My One and Only, the Oscar winner explained to People that she uses the same criteria for seeking a man as she uses for finding a friend.
Zellweger said, "I like kind and clever folks. I like people who are concerned with [what] the path they leave behind them looks like. Also on the list: empathy, humor, wit, self reliance and honesty."
Her colleagues from the movie, including producer Aaron Ryder, seem to believe that all the qualities the 40-year-old actress is looking for may be found in Bradley Cooper, whom Ryder describes as "a very likable guy."
The actress still hasn’t officially confirmed her feelings for Cooper.
