It’s been over two decades since Renée Zellweger first brought Bridget Jones to life on the big screen, and as the actress prepares to reprise her role as the beloved protagonist for the fourth time, she revealed that some Bridget-isms have rubbed off on her over the years. While chatting with Page Six on the red carpet of the Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy New York premiere on Wednesday, the Judy star opened up about the ways she relates to Bridget Jones’s personality and outlook in real life.
While there are some distinct differences between the two–Zellweger is happily dating boyfriend Ant Anstead and she's American, not British–she shares some of the titular character’s most endearing qualities. “All the clumsy things,” she told the publication when asked about similarities between her and the British journalist, adding, “And the ‘fake it ’til you make it’ [outlook].”
Despite Bridget's many mishaps, Zellweger was quick to clarify she was happy to emulate her character’s traits, lauding the British journalist's “authenticity and her optimism and her sense of humor and her goodness” while sharing her own very Bridget Jones-esque “clumsy” moment that happened earlier that day.

“My mic pack fell off when we were doing a television show and it was sliding down my back and luckily it got caught in my skirt,” the award-winning actress revealed to the publication. Meanwhile, Zellweger explained that the “‘faking it ’til you make it’ motto is “really just doing it, isn’t it? And not judging yourself as you do it. It’s just doing it, right?”
Starring in Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, which comes almost a decade after the third Bridget Jones’s Baby installment, was a surprise for Zellweger, who said she “never thought” she’d be playing Bridget again.

The Jerry Maguire star said she couldn’t have foreseen the success around Bridget while filming the first movie–she admitted she spent the 2001 movie “trying to not get fired and hoping to not let all my friends down on the set…hoping it worked”–but her longtime character has a special place for her.

“I love how open she is. I love her physicality,” she added. “I love that she walks like a good person and she’s open to everything…and I love that she’s constantly, authentically charming and herself. And I love that she doesn’t mean anybody’s standard idea about beauty or success, but she triumphs anyway by forging her own path.”
Before the start of the 4 Nations tournament, Patrik Laine demonstrated his lack of filter in front of the media by throwing his coach, Martin St-Louis, under the bus. He had said that by playing with Finland, he would get more ice time. He later added that he had to look in the mirror, but […]
