‘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.’
