HANGING ON

Renée Zellweger Left Hanging From Tree After Bridget Jones Set Mishap

Renée Zellweger’s love interest in the movie, Leo Woodall, spilled all the details.

Actor Renée Zellweger, 55, was left in quite the predicament after a slight mishap occurred during one of her stunts in the fourth installment of the rom-com classic Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy. Ahead of the movie premiere in London, co-star Leo Woodall, 28, who plays a younger love interest revealed on the Chris Evans Virgin Radio Breakfast Show on Wednesday that Zellweger was left hanging from a tree after her harness broke during the film’s shooting. She was left clinging to the tree “by her fingertips.” In the scene, Zellweger is climbing the tree to help her daughter, Mabel, who is stuck on a branch. But soon enough, it turns out that the savior is the one needing saving, which is where Woodall’s character comes in. “Every single day on set, she led the crew of 200 people to the end of the day with smiles on her face. I mean, she hung off a tree,” Woodall recalled on the radio show. “She hung off this tree, she was supposed to be harnessed, but she didn’t tell anyone that the harness wasn’t actually working,” he explained, adding that the star was hanging on by the tips of her finger for about an hour without a complaint. “And then they were like, ‘Are you okay Renée?’ and she said, ‘Yeah, I’m good, I might have to come down.’ ‘Is the harness not working?’ ‘No.’
