Renee Zellweger is a Hollywood legend, who won a legion of loyal fans for her portrayal of the beloved and ever self-deprecating Bridget Jones. And it’s because of her iconic character that Zellweger's name has been making headlines again as Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy hits cinemas.

Renée Zellweger has been playing Bridget Jones for more than two decades but says the gaps are essential to the character.

And just like that, Ejiofor was cast as Mr. Wallaker, a pragmatic science teacher, in Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, the fourth installment in the beloved romantic comedy franchise starring Renee Zellweger as the titular heroine, which hit Peacock on February 14.
