Leo Woodall explores a romance with a much older woman in his new film, Bridget Jones Mad About The Boy.

Speaking to Radio Times about his rise in fame since starring in Season Two of White Lotus and Netflix's One Day, he said: 'I don't like using the word 'catapulted' but in terms of my career, it did have that effect. The actor, who is one of the faces of this years Red Nose Day alongside Claudia Winkleman and Olivia Atwood, said he thinks it's important to work on films involving a younger man and an older female lover. The movie was officially confirmed last year, with the script being penned by author Helen, Abi Morgan and Dan Mazer, and Michael Morris as director.
