Unlike most sequels, theBridget Jonesmoviesdon’t necessarily start exactly where the last one ended.

Moreover, Bridget’s age is one of thedifferences between theBridget Jonesfilm adaptation and the novel.

At that age, Bridget is still a bit immature and struggling to live the life she wants.

InBridget Jones’s Baby, Bridget is 43 years old.

In contrast, Zellweger turned 47 the year the movie was released.
