The new film is based on the 2013 novel by the same name from Bridget Jones creator Helen Fielding. 

‘It did change things, where people on the street say hello,’ she explained after the 2001 film Bridget Jones’s Diary, which brought the world’s favorite singleton to the big screen. ‘That’s the whirlwind that Bridget Jones was the catalyst of.’

Zellweger, who grew up in Texas and mastered a posh British accent for the role, said she still had some things in common with the beloved character including the ‘particularly the clumsy and awkward bits.’

In the new film, the fourth in the franchise, Bridget’s beloved husband Mark Darcy has died while on a humanitarian mission and she finds herself the grieving single mother on two young children. 

‘She’s trying to find her way through grief and starting over,’ she told the outlet.

She also begins a relationship with a much younger man, Woodall’s ‘Roxter.’ 

‘When two people find the connection, why shouldn’t they see where it goes without judgment?’ he told Stellar magazine.

‘Both dynamics should be equally normalized. It’s a good thing that we’re getting the reverse’ Leo continued. ‘Because it’s not uncommon – it’s just not portrayed much in movies.’

After playing Bridget in four films now Zellweger said she enjoyed portraying the best parts of the character.

‘She’s open and she’s guileless and she’s a kind person, she’s charming and she’s funny and she’s warm.’

Zellweger has been promoting her latest film, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy. It’s the fourth film in the much beloved franchise 

‘She doesn’t always get it right. There’s so much freedom in that. There’s so much freedom in not worrying what your hair looks like, not getting enough sleep, because you’re not going to look good tomorrow, and that’s fine, because that was the goal.’ she said.

‘There’s so much freedom in not being self-conscious. It was such a blessing to play her.’

In a chat with co-star Hugh Grant. 64, for Vogue,  the pair agreed that Bridget seems to be an anti-dote for the pressures of social media. 

In Mad About the Boy, a widowed Bridget falls for a 28-year-old played by Woodall. ”When two people find the connection, why shouldn’t they see where it goes without judgment?’ he told Stellar magazine

In Vogue, the fiercely private actress, who has been with her slightly younger partner Ant Anstead since 2021, revealed that she lives in Southern California, near San Diego ‘Because that’s where my fellow lives, and his little boy’

‘What I think is, [you] don’t you meet a lot of people who say, “I am Bridget Jones!”‘ she explained. ‘I think maybe folks recognize themselves in her and relate to her struggles and feelings of self-doubt.’

‘Bridget is authentically herself and doesn’t always get it right, but whatever her imperfections, she remains joyful and optimistic, carries on, and triumphs in her own way.’
