Mad About LEOWOODALL
ELLE US
|March 2025
Leo Woodall, the 28-year-old star of One Day and The White Lotus, has cornered the market on a very particular species of onscreen love interest—the guy who's so sweet and dreamy that there's got to be a catch, right? Now he's the May to Renée Zellweger's December in Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy.
ELLE: When did Bridget Jones enter your cultural universe?
LEO WOODALL: I'd seen the first movie on repeat over the years at Christmas. I just thought it was joyous. Just sweet and cozy.
ELLE: And now you're playing one of Bridget Jones's love interests. We're in a full-blown moment for movies about older women and younger men. What do you think is going on here?
LW: Yeah, I don't know! I mean, these relationships—they're not new. I couldn't tell you why it's suddenly happening now, but I know that the best thing about it is reminding everyone that people are just people. We can connect across planets and across genders—well, not planets, sorry, across the planet.
"These relationships-they're not new. The best thing about it is reminding everyone that people are just people. We can connect."

The Women of SINNERS
The appetite for Sinners has been ravenous, to say the least. Released in April and now one of the highest-grossing horror movies of all time, Ryan Coogler’s film is an erotic fever dream of vampires, romance, and blues, starring Michael B. Jordan in a dual role as Smoke and Stack, twins who return home from Prohibition-era Chicago to open a juke joint in 1932 Mississippi.

How Colleen Hoover TOOK HOLLYWOOD
Is it too cheesy?” Colleen Hoover asks, pushing onto the hind legs of her chair, her blonde hair pulled up in her signature messy bun and her big eyes growing larger, as she considers a tagline for her forthcoming film, Reminders of Him. It’s mid-September and the prolific, bestselling author of 24 novels in 10 years is in the middle of a meeting to hammer out the film’s trailer, poster, and tagline with Vanessa Caswill, the film’s London-based director; Lauren Levine, Hoover’s producing partner and script cowriter; and Gina Matthews, a veteran Hollywood producer.
