Renee Zellweger has delegated the delivery of one of her most famous movie lines to another actress.

Renée Zellweger reprised the classic “you had me at hello” scene from the 1996 romance film Jerry Maguire on Monday’s Late Show With James Corden, with Sir Ben Kingsley replacing Tom Cruise as her scene partner.

“Sir Ben, you have given some iconic performances in your career,” Corden remarked, “and I was interested to see how you would fare delivering some of Renée’s most iconic lines.”

Cruise’s main character, of course, expresses his love for Zellweger’s Dorothy in a long monologue in the original sequence. She eventually stops him with the remark, “Shut up.  You had me at hello.”

During the scene, Zellweger, 50, played out Cruise’s speech, while Kingsley deadpanned the phrase “You had me at hello.” The crowd — and Zellweger herself — erupted in applause and screams when Kingsley delivered his lines.

In 2016, on the 20th anniversary of Jerry Maguire, Zellweger spoke with Entertainment Tonight about the film’s creation. “It was one of those experiences when you’re making a movie, just things were coming together,” he said. “It’s what we all work for, where you just know. It’s just firing on all cylinders, [and] was such a joy.”

She also said that she had maintained contact with Cruise, whom she regards as a “a really good person.”

Renee also discussed a little role she performed in Reality Bites, which was released 25 years ago, on Monday’s Late Show. Renee tells James that she discovered after the fact that the character she played was Tami Bimbo.

“I was Tami Bimbo,” said Zellweger. “I didn’t know I was Tami Bimbo. Nobody sent me on an audition to play Tami Bimbo!”

She said, “I was Tami Bimbo. It was an inside joke with a crew of 200 people.”
