Zellweger doesn’t want Clooney in sequel

The producers of the Bridget Jones’s Diary sequel are looking at John Travolta to provide the romance after George Clooney was turned down by lead star Renee Zellweger.

The Chicago actress told producers their first choice of Clooney to take over from Colin Firth as the love interest wouldn’t work because of a previous relationship between the pair.

However, the undeterred producers have now approached Pulp Fiction star Travolta to star in the adaptation of Helen Fielding’s follow-up novel Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason.
