NEW BRIDGET PIC BODES BIG BUCKS FOR ZELLWEGER

Franchise is cash cow star just can't quit

Zellweger, who boasts an estimated net worth of $90 million, will heavily promote the new film as the February release date approaches, sources say

HIBERNATING Renée Zellweger has been lured out of her cozy, far-from-the-limelight love nest to plug her new Bridget Jones flick for all it’s worth, say sources, with the promise of a massive payday bonus if the rom-com movie smashes the box office.

The 55-year-old star of the new sequel, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, costarring Hugh Grant and set for a February release, has been happily snuggling with 45-year-old toyboy Ant Anstead, a British TV personality, since summer 2021 after meeting on the set of his Discovery+ show Celebrity IOU: Joyride. But the Bridget Jones cash was too good to pass up.
