British actor and TheWhite Lotus star Leo Woodhall, 28, has defended age gaps in romantic relationships in an interview with The Telegraph on Thursday. Woodhall’s character in Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, 29-year-old Roxster, dates Bridget, a 51-year-old woman. “I don’t actually think that the younger man and older woman dynamic is that unusual,” Woodhall said. “It’s just that we’re not used to seeing it on screen. We’ve seen it countless times with older men and younger women and people don’t bat an eyelid, do they? But there are films and series that have come out recently where they are showing it the other way around, and maybe over time, if we keep doing that, it’ll become something people don’t notice as much.” Woodhall’s remarks come in the context of his two-year relationship with 34-year-old TheWhite Lotus co-star Meghann Fahy. He says he is “very, very happy” with his girlfriend and “everything would be a bit too crazy without her there.”
