Leo Woodall's Favourite On-Set Memory From 'Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy' Isn't What You Might Expect
Before his breakout role in the sophomore season of The White Lotus, Leo Woodall had several jobs.
'I had two,' he tells ELLE UK in a game of Knowing Me, Knowing You. 'One was working in a bar in Wandsworth and the other job that I had before acting was working in Hollister and it was the worst six weeks of my teenage life. I hated it, I was so bad at it. I was too shy to talk to customers which is what they want you to do, and they also want you to help dress the customers.'

Eventually, Woodall 'stopped turning up' to his role at the clothing store and the world ought to be forever thankful that he did, given that it lead him to acting. The London-born star's next leading role is in Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy, in which he plays Roxster, a rippling 29-year-old park warden who meets the now 51-year-old Bridget when she’s stuck up a tree in Hampstead Heath with her children, Mabel and Billy.
His favourite memory from the set of the film? 'It's gotta be Hampstead Heath,' he says. 'All the tree climbing and Renée [Zellweger] hanging off the tree. We had two days on the Heath and it was just fun. I got to climb trees for half a day.'
Elsewhere in the video, Woodall correctly guesses which of his Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy co-stars has recently been granted honorary citizenship of Venice (Emma Thompson, here's looking at you!) and which of them was taught the piano by Andrew Lloyd-Webber's mother (yes, really).
