Speaker 5: a huge fan of the Bridget Jones series. But when
Speaker 5: you get asked to come back for a fourth installment
Speaker 5: and Bridget has changed so much, Rene, did you have

Speaker 5: the two of you when preparing for this film?

Speaker 3: people I'm parking and I'm coming in.
Speaker 5: Hate Leo at the first, Bridge Jones and I came
Speaker 5: out in two thousand and one, I think, and I
Speaker 5: think you were four. So had you seen these films
Speaker 5: growing up? Did you go back and watch the originals?
Speaker 3: We're watching it four years old, going yeah one day.
Speaker 1: Probably I had no idea what was happening, but I, yeah,
Speaker 1: I grew up with them, man. I you know, I
Speaker 1: watched it probably every year at Christmas, and there was
Speaker 1: no need to revisit because, like a lot of people,
Speaker 1: Bridget just you know, is everyone's favorite friend.
Speaker 3: Maybe not favorite, because that's kind of sad. What about yourself, Totel?
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I mean I was not for but yeah
Speaker 6: close close, Yeah, not at all the but I loved it.
Speaker 6: You know when I when I when I watched Bridget Jones,
Speaker 6: I just remember that time. You know, it was all
Speaker 6: about Bridget at that point, and it was you know,
Speaker 6: the book and before that, the column, you know, the
Speaker 6: actual diaries themselves, and it was just it was a
Speaker 6: it was a really wonderful time and and you know,
Speaker 6: the film is so brilliant, so fun, so iconic, and
Speaker 6: so just to be part of that universe is really wonderful.
Speaker 4: So we've we've sort of got your love this one night,
Speaker 4: we've got our own sort of Bridget Jones on the team.
Speaker 4: Lauren is pretty much her. In fact, you've got a
Speaker 4: similar situation to the movie coming up this weekend, which
Speaker 4: I know you're freaking out about it.
Speaker 5: I actually do, and I'd love an answer from Bridget Jones' perspective.
Speaker 5: I've been invited to a fortieth birthday and on the
Speaker 5: invitation it says come dressed as a Tellytubby And I
Speaker 5: don't know if I've just got that invitation and I'm
Speaker 5: gonna have my Bridget Jones's moment.
Speaker 3: What do I do?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 2: Oh, that's pretty. I see you lean into it. I
Speaker 2: see good for it. You can't lose it a party
Speaker 2: dressed as a teletubby, in my opinion, I mean, you
Speaker 2: know it's gonna be interesting.
Speaker 4: Actually, I thought when you said you have a Bridge
Speaker 4: Jones situation coming up, I thought you meant you're gonna
Speaker 4: hook up with a twenty eight year old this week.
Speaker 2: She might she might dress as a teletubby.
Speaker 4: I don't know the fan is going with her, so
Speaker 4: that's not going to go down well.
Speaker 5: I never know your Lughby costume. There's so many throwback
Speaker 5: moments in the film. I mean pulling out your old
Speaker 5: panties and saying hello, old friend. There's all these incredibly
Speaker 5: nostalgic moments in the film when you first read the script,
Speaker 5: that did that draw you back into it?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 6: All of it?
Speaker 2: You know, the friends, the reintroduction of her, you know
Speaker 2: her boss, and you know her universe. Really, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm a sucker. I love this character and I have
Speaker 2: for you know, a quarter of a century.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5: It is a bit of a reunion though with Hugh Grant.
Speaker 5: Having the whole cast together must have just been magic
Speaker 5: for you.
Speaker 2: That's what it felt like. It felt like a big
Speaker 2: reunion and true friendships that you know, we forged over
Speaker 2: twenty five years. So it saw was so special. And
Speaker 2: I love those little winks that you're talking about, because
Speaker 2: that's life, isn't it.
Speaker 3: You know totally certain things.
Speaker 2: You know follow us throughout, don't they?
Speaker 6: Do you have?
Speaker 5: I mean, look, obviously you're an incredible actress and you've
Speaker 5: been in many things, but you are you are Bridget Jones.
Speaker 5: When I look at you, do you carry many of
Speaker 5: those qualities with you? Do you see yourself in her
Speaker 5: and her in you?
Speaker 2: All the time, especially in these circumstances, red carpets.
Speaker 3: It's not your thing.
Speaker 2: Well, when you're supposed to look nice and you're supposed
Speaker 2: to you know, be I don't know, on your best
Speaker 2: it's it's never the truth. It's always fake it till
Speaker 2: you make it, you.
Speaker 3: Know, like me, she doesn't like to leave a suburb
Speaker 3: or a couch. That makes me so much happier.
Speaker 4: Hey, I know, just quickly before we let you go,
Speaker 4: there's been some hint that the writer said this is
Speaker 4: the last one. No, she will tell you'd love it
Speaker 4: to continue, no doubt, because you've just signed on to
Speaker 4: the franchise.
Speaker 3: Is there any chance of another one down the track?
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, I guess that's up to Helen and
Speaker 6: we'll we'll have to see. She's she's definitely sad at
Speaker 6: the moment that that's that, that is it, But but
Speaker 6: you never know.
Speaker 3: Come on, Helen, come.
Speaker 5: On, Helen. I'm with you, Leah, come on, Helen.
