Author Helen Fielding says Bridget Jones has found a new audience with Gen Z.

She says Gen Z have more problems than young women did 30 years ago but take comfort in character's trials and tribulations.

Some people have never been amused by Bridget 's obsession with her size and men.

And why are the Gen Zs still identifying with that sense that your body's all wrong, and then still coping on top of that with the fact that they shouldn't be thinking about it in the first place?" She added: "Why do people identify with it, is the question. It's not that she's influencing people, it's that people are responding to that emotional truth in the first book.".
