One was working in a bar in Wandsworth and the other job that I had before acting was working in Hollister and it was the worst six weeks of my teenage life. I hated it, I was so bad at it. I was too shy to talk to customers which is what they want you to do, and they also want you to help dress the customers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nBut Leo found immense fame in 2024 when he starred in the Netflix hit &#8216;One Day&#8217; and admitted that things have changed so much for him that he can no longer use public transport.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;I don\u2019t really get the Tube any more. (A woman) told me her husband gets really jealous. It was just so uncomfortable. It did all go a bit nuts for me. At first it was, like, \u2018oh this is cool\u2019, and pretty quickly it just started to feel a bit icky.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nLeo is now starring alongside Renee Zellweger in &#8216;Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy&#8217; and when asked to recall his favourite memory from filming with the Hollywood actress, admitted it was the infamous tree-climbing scene in which his character first meets the hapless singelton.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe added: &#8220;It&#8217;s gotta be Hampstead Heath! All the tree climbing and Ren\u00e9e [Zellweger] hanging off the tree. We had two days on the Heath and it was just fun. I got to climb trees for half a day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/leo-woodall-reveals-jobs-finding-fame-bad-1413395.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>6 February 2025 Leo Woodall was &#8220;so bad&#8221; at working in retail.
