Age-gap relationships are becoming more common, with older women dating younger men while challenging societal norms.
Renée Zellweger expresses that her return to the beloved role of Bridget Jones is both personal and fulfilling, highlighting the joys of revisiting a character she loves.
"I lied to him a few times. I told him I was 18, and then someone said, 'You know, I don't think she's 18.' So I said, 'OK, I'm not 18 but next month is my birthday' - which was true - 'and I'm going to be 18.'" Cher shared this anecdote about her early interactions with Bono, illustrating the complexities of their age-gap relationship and her youthful bravado.
Older men pairing up with younger women is accepted widely, whereas the opposite scenario often sparks controversy; it's time to challenge these outdated perspectives on love.
