Leads Named Chris Dominate Narrow Window of UK Films Versus Older Women, Study Finds

A UK study of the top 100 highest-grossing films from 2023–2025 found six titles with a lead named Chris, compared with five that feature a woman over 60; talking animals lead more often than aging female leads. Emma Thompson backs the Age Without Limits campaign, urging more stories centered on aging women. The piece cites recent examples of older female leads (Jennifer Saunders in Allelujah, Nia Vardalos in My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3, Diane Keaton in Book Club: The Next Chapter, Demi Moore in The Substance, Jamie Lee Curtis in Freaky Friday) and notes public attitudes toward greater representation.
