If it feels like you’ve seen a lot of movies lately where women are dating much younger men, well, it’s because you have. The latest is “#BridgetJones: Mad About the Boy,” now streaming on Peacock, where in her fourth and likely final outing, #RenéeZellweger’s new love interest is played by 26-years-younger star of “The White Lotus,” #LeoWoodall.

But Bridget is not alone. Last year saw the release of “The Idea of You,” in which #AnneHathaway’s character falls in love with a pop star 16 years her junior (played by #NicholasGalitzine); “A Family Affair,” where #NicoleKidman falls in love with a man also 16 years her junior (played by #ZacEfron, who is 20 years younger than Kidman in real life); “Lonely Planet,” which sees #LauraDern fall for #LiamHemsworth, who is 23 years younger than her; and “#Babygirl,” wherein Kidman once again plays a character who falls for a man 24 years younger than her (#HarrisDickinson, who in real life is 29 years younger than Kidman). And of course the 2023 Todd Haynes film, “May December,” starring #JulianneMoore and #CharlesMelton.

It’s a trend that’s becoming hard to ignore, though “Bridget Jones” star Zellweger told TheWrap she finds it “interesting … that people think it’s a novelty. I mean, what does that say about what we’ve normalized, in terms of the dynamics between different ages and the sexes?”
