The star first took on the role of Bridget in 2001 for Bridget Jones' Diary and has returned many times as fans follow the development of her life.
Renée Zellweger has fiercely defended Bridget Jones after critics branded the titular character "toxic" and claimed she lived in a misogynistic culture.
Hugh Grant's hit character, Daniel Cleaver, was also accused of being "sexist" in the first instalment due to his comments and behaviour towards Bridget.
Renée, who has been part of the franchise for 25 years, was quick to hit out at the hateful comments about her character following the release of the fourth movie, Mad About the Boy.
The One Day actor then went on to praise Renée's British accent she's been putting on as Bridget for years, claiming he 'can't tell' she's putting it on.
