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.
