Richard Curtis has admitted his portrayal of women in films such as Bridget Jones’s Diary and Love Actually was “stupid and wrong” in an interview with his daughter Scarlett.
The 66-year-old British screenwriter acknowledged that jokes about women’s weight “aren’t any longer funny” and expressed his regret about setting a film in Notting Hill without a single Black character in the eponymously-titled Hugh Grant-Julia Roberts 1999 hit.
