People feel that they can see themselves reflected in Bridget\u2019s life experiences.

This woman has been in all my favorite films. For as long as I can remember, character after character\u2014from comedies and dramas to musicals, there\u2019s nothing that she doesn\u2019t do. But when you\u2019re talking to her, she\u2019s completely present.

Zellwegger feels like it\u2019s a chance to connect with the audience that grew up with the film, and the universal experience of falling in love and forging relationships with people. lf. \u201cIt\u2019s funny, I can chronicle my own decades and life experiences around making these films with the extended Bridget family,\u201d Zellweger says. \u201cIt\u2019s always very emotional when we get back together with true friends, and more so when we leave. There is a correlation between Bridget and me that is strongest with people who love her\u2026but it\u2019s within themselves. We had the opportunity to create Bridget on screen, but people were already in love with her. Bridget reminds us that it\u2019s okay to be imperfect. You can still get the guy, still succeed and be happy when you\u2019re just yourself. You\u2019re okay being imperfect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Set your Valentine\u2019s Day movie date with your loved one and Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy as it opens in Philippine theaters on February 12.
