This sounds complicated.
“I’m sure there would’ve been the meeting, right? Everyone would’ve had to get together and talk about how you engage with people.”When Hugh agreed that his character would have “had to be re-educated”, Renée said that this was an example of “shifting” attitudes in the 24 years since Bridget Jones’s Diary was first released.
