Spielberg I'm busy and I'll get back to him um yeah it was just a tremendous experience and then how open in supportive but he was and how much fun we had and how much hard work we had to do as well but you know I was really grateful that Eric was allowing me to race as well and made that possible so I had the best of both worlds and it was been a tremendous opportunity for me and I'm very grateful and to be here in London working as special and to be a part of something that is you know so beloved with the Brigitte in what a remarkable character what a strong character to have out in the world right now is particularly it's it's good to be a part of the ensemble Thank You Patrick Sharon and again well I think we are a big dysfunctional family now so it was quite nice to come back to the dysfunctional family I mean their cast of actors characters the producers yes we have the same old stale jokes that we use on each other and that sort of thing so it was it was exciting to get back there you know and then we were able to bring in some new people and torture them and so yes it was it was great Britney I'm glad you just said all that because I don't have to say anything now covered it all ditto it's a great experience and so happy to have worked with Sarah and Patrick what a treat it's both brought an experience across the board terrific in carlin yeah I I was just excited to work with a real live racing driver yeah this guy was actually just back from winning a big 24 hour race in Japan yeah there was a I think I've said I was surprised we haven't you know we all these people and authentic I knew how much I had until we all saw each other you know I think there was a funny thing when we met and people would see that combination and that person would look over and see those people back together again and it all would blush slightly you know so yeah and I think nice to have some fresh faces I don't think it would have worked if we hadn't you know the rather ingenious new contributors and egg well I'd really like to be completely politically incorrect and say everything that they're not saying but so I'm not going to do that but the truth is that it's been 10 years 11 years 12 years 12 years and from my point of view and from working titles point of view this is one of our favorite characters the Bridget Jones family and we have spent 12 years trying to find a way to get a script that is good enough to persuade these incredible people to all come to work every day and do that brilliant job and we were just thrilled when that finally came together and being able to put more of Bridget and ma and all all the other characters back back into the world and I think you've all seen the movie hopefully you've liked it but we're really proud of it and really thrilled that it that it's out there and hoped that the journey is positive from here on in thank you there's a gentleman middle oh that yeah Ronnie from Budapest Hungary I guess you never been there we're just talking about this everybody I've been there yeah amazing how you brought her to life in all three movies congratulations thank you so much but she's such a complex character us as we also see it Easter anything personality or behavior that you might envy or maybe admirer for oh sure her authenticity I admire it and I love to play it it's so much fun to play a person who's so open and awkward and self-depreciating but it embraces herself anyway yeah I love that about her and she has some pretty nice date so a girl could envy that for sure could you pass the microphone forward to the lady in front thank you I'm Christie from magazines odda and since the first movie came out Richard Jones movie and a lot of women around the world started to use the expression Bridget moment when they did something awkward or even silly perhaps and I'm sure that all of these women had at least one if not more these kind of Bridget moments in their life so I would like to know when you when was the last time when you had Bridget moment in your life really hahahaha about ten minutes ago um the the last good one that I can think about that I could share with you that I still ruminate about I think it happened and a couple of months ago on live television um I was really really jet-lagged and I think I might have fallen asleep in the middle of giving an answer to this reporter and I'm pretty sure by the look on his face that whatever I was saying made absolutely no sense at all and I remember sitting look at you know imagining watching myself thinking yeah you're still talking you should probably wrap that up I just you probably figure out a way to put a period on that real quick that was a nice one my favorite ones are always on live television another question for case yep so you've been away from Hollywood for six years now and the word because they changed this time but have you changed as a person and as an actress and if so then how and yes I hope I'm a little less boring than I might have been after just 25 years of being an actress and being in that cycle of of making films which can be extraordinary and and you know I learned a lot in with each of those experiences but I wanted to learn something that had nothing to do with researching a character and I wanted to learn some things beyond the scope of you know what you're exposed to in in filmmaking and Hollywood and I was craving a little normalcy I have new perspective I worked on the other side of the camera quite a bit while I was taking a little filming hiatus so I have yeah I have a new perspective and gratitude a lot of gratitude because I missed it and to come back and begin again with this old extended what did you call it dysfunctional phone that's the one um was you know a really nice way to to to begin again I think mmm okay so gentlemen update I feel Boucher from People magazine I'm just seeing it's actually in six years out and you returned to acting because you crave the creative process yeah but yeah so you knew what you're starting out useful stepping back into the lines then in some ways are you glad that you returned given it's not just about acting people going to the movie stars about it's just something you are you glad generally to step back into the line line I don't really think of it as stepping back into the limelight um I you know it's a very insular experience when you go to work you only see your work friends pretty much except for maybe a couple of hours at the end of every day and I'm spoiled rotten for the friendships that I have on this set and and so it's more about that that I think of and the rest of it is just you know extraneous and we share it together so it's sort of more of a friendship experience than anything else then thank you gentleman in the front row Derek instead of Jack battling two together mr. Darcy for this fatherhood how do you think you will react and a question for all the actives you know we see rigid like many years after we met her and she settled down she's independent very successful in good shape if you could pick up one character and of your career and see how they've evolved over the last 15 years where they've gone which one would be the most interesting one for you there's like five questions yeah let's take one at a time let me try to remember the first one if I can I think what's interesting about the dynamic between our characters is that there's no physical fight that was a question that came up quite a bit would there be a fight which there isn't and it's it's a it's an interesting battle of insecurities for both men and I think each man feels insecure about the other in the sense of one has the shared history in one has no history and that's where we started to build the conflict and I think that's what's interesting about this and how they can be the best father whether it be their child or not and and try to play that in the nuance of that and that was what was fun to explore as far as the other part of that question is it doesn't matter to this film at all thank you though I'm not quite sure I understand your question but you plan to make up again you wanted to carry today would you like to revisit any character from at this point now you know I think it's it's all about moving forward really enough and in life you move forward you don't look back you look back it from your experiences certainly but I think it's about being here in the moment and then that will inform where you go Sarah have you characters how I try to live with for about four years was Becky and BBC's him and her bafta-winning sure okay and she spent probably the whole time in bed eating toast waiting to be naughty with Russell Tovey who was a boyfriend and I think in 15 years time she would be doing exactly the same she would have got out of bed really no no I didn't have an answer you didn't unitive an answer to watching you've revisited yeah yeah fair fair enough the genesis question for Renee was there in a moment during experience that led you to feel that you need to take a break and how did you know that it's time to come back for the second part of the question I'm not sure I was a really gradual sort of you know started looking around again to see well start reading some things and see um I just I know I was curious and I had missed it so um for the first part of the question um I'm not really sure I just um I was curious about a lot of other things I'd made a lot of promises to myself in life try that I'm gonna I'd love to do this and when you make films in the cycle of making films and I'm sure you know um that it's continuous when you're beginning one you're promoting another and they overlap and there's not much time to explore other things and I wanted to to learn something new and grow as a person and see if I had absolute for these things that interest me and if not if not now then it would be Oh in two more years or three years or ten years and then you know ultimately just don't don't do them and I didn't want that to happen so um nobody who'd walked away probably but for with friends who are still really really busy yeah and yeah sure of course Thank You Azusa lady in the center here and then we go to the lady at the end thank you there's something going on at the end can we express by the development of the story hmm good question um Eric has written there's another book out there which is called mad about mad about the boy which picks up eight years later she's about 50 I think 51 so maybe in a year's time we can talk about it it's very there are other stories out there and who knows and then the over 10 years exactly ultimate I mean in in in all seriousness the thing that is I think is really interesting about the three Bridget Jones films is that unlike James Bond where the character gets recast at the same age and we've been able to follow a character or a series of characters and show them as they move through their lives and I don't think any film other than 7up and was the one that won the Oscar boyhood boyfriend's year which were much more kind of you know specialized arty type movies have actually done this and I think that's why it makes Brigitte I'm kind of very different franchised to most and yeah why not why can't we follow these characters into their 50s 60s and 70s but we'll have to wait and see thank you if you could pass the mic still idiot then thank you Turkey I have three different questions first one is for your project you're once again mcdreamy and there are lots of girls who are waiting for someone like you or like mr. Darcy what would you advise them and my second question is for the ladies the labor scene was scary do you think these kind of scenes would make young girls get scared of natural birth and Colleen was it really hard to carry bring it so advice to young girls looking for a Jack remark oh I think um it all comes in the natural time it's supposed to meet that person you're supposed to be with so the less aggressive you are and looking the more it will show up I think but that's a lesson there lies a life where you step back and allow something to open up and come to you I think we really enjoyed researching the birth scene didn't we yeah yeah hope wait we watched loads of episodes of one born every minute which is a show about and we all Debra and I were able to you know fill in on our own gory birth tales which we can bore for England on so so yes and somewhere in between that we wanted to try and make it real but in all of that reality there's always loads of humor that you know comes out as well so um was the second part of the question whether we put people off living both yeah I don't think we've put people off giving birth I hope we haven't anywhere having having said that I was quite glad when I was told I was having a couple of cesarean so you know okay I'm dizzy Lydia's like has a question here yep hi okay work I'm Ellie from Belgium I have a question for mr. Dempsey and since you are the American of this very British film I wanted to know how were there in the cultural differences are things you picked up and did mrs. a Zellweger helped you get in because when she did the first film she was the American that had to fit in can you do the British accent I don't spare everyone on that America it's great being the American in this in the sense I think it adds to it in the conflict in itself is that behavior and how one would interact it's it's understanding the sense of humor um every culture has its own sort of moments where you have to be adjusting so I was coming from the racing which is a German team into the English and then being an American and trying to keep it all together so it was quite interesting to go back and forth into all these different worlds and it grateful to have it because it made it so stimulating and the ability to adapt to that and to understand and to be respectful of each culture and to be sensitive to it and the key for me was to not fall into an English accent and you know become that American so that was the biggest trap I had to be careful of you know especially when I'm around Renee who was in character all the time and of course Colin his diction which is brilliant and witty so it was a it was an absolute blast you know it was hard work at times but I was I every now and then you could step back and go how remarkable was to be a part of this you know because you feel how beloved in the fans are just their connection to Bridgette and to be on this side of it for the first time was something you start to realise the weight of that responsibility and then can you bring value to it and will you be embraced and that was that was fun it's nice to have that kind of challenge and it just great to be here and a part of this group ladies and gentlemen time is against us and our guests are very busy would you please show your appreciation for them this morning thank you very much indeed for joining us ladies and tough about you're watching hey you guys hey you guys how you guys up from the Goonies
