00:00This new chapter of Bridget, there's a lot of newness.
00:02Obviously, there's this age gap romance with Leo.
00:06Tell me about that.
00:06What was your reaction to that?
00:08And what was it like kind of building that chemistry with him?
00:10I was very happy for Bridget Jones.
00:12Good for her.
00:14And chemistry, easy.
00:16I mean, we're both kind of good pals.
00:19So we laugh really easily.
00:20So there was a lot of that.
00:22Instantly, we have fun together.
00:23And we all did.
00:24I'm pretty cool at running.
00:26What was it like getting to be back on set with Colin and with Hugh?
00:30Oh, yeah.
00:31I mean, like a warm hug, you know?
00:34It feels like a reunion at all terms.
00:37We've been forging this friendship for over 25 years together, you know?
00:43And through this journey, sheer journey, Bridget Jones journey.
00:46And so it was both wonderful and really sad because...
00:51Some real tears.
00:52Yeah.
00:53I can imagine.
00:54Yeah, some tears, yeah.
00:55Is this the last Bridget, you think?
00:57Well, that's what I understand.
00:58So that's my thought set.
00:59Well, it's good farewell.
