**London, UK** – Leo Woodall, the 28-year-old London native, is experiencing a whirlwind career after his breakout role in HBO’s *The White Lotus*. His initial anxieties about portraying a complex character were overcome by a “go big or go home” attitude, a decision that has clearly paid off.

Since *The White Lotus*, Woodall has starred in Netflix’s *One Day*, AppleTV+’s *Prime Target*, and most recently, the final installment of the beloved *Bridget Jones* franchise. He’s also worked alongside acting heavyweights such as Dustin Hoffman and Russell Crowe, a testament to his rapidly growing success. While acknowledging his immense luck, Woodall emphasizes his dedication and hard work as key factors in his achievement.

Balancing his professional life with his personal life has been a challenge. However, Woodall has found a happy medium, including a relationship with his former *White Lotus* co-star, Meghann Fahy. He acknowledges the importance of managing public exposure and maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

In *Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy*, Woodall plays a new love interest, Roxster, stepping into the world without attempting to replace Colin Firth’s iconic Mark Darcy. He praises Renée Zellweger’s performance and emphasizes his role in supporting her as the lead. Though he hasn’t met Firth or Hugh Grant, he expresses admiration for Grant’s candidness about the pressures of being a leading man – pressures Woodall himself is now facing. Despite these challenges, he embraces the possibility of becoming the next leading romantic star, expressing his aspiration for a long and successful career in the vein of Hugh Grant.
