Hugh Grant recently revealed his high expectations for the upcoming Bridget Jones movie, ‘Mad About the Boy‘. The 63-year-old actor, who is set to reprise his role as Daniel Cleaver, believes that this film will be the best one in the series. Grant was particularly impressed with the script for the fourth installment, describing it as “one of the best scripts I have read for in a long time.”
‘Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy‘ follows Renee Zellweger‘s character, Bridget Jones, as she navigates life as a single mother after the death of her husband, Mark Darcy (Colin Firth). Grant was struck by the emotional depth of the script, which explores the challenges of raising two children alone while maintaining the signature Bridget Jones humor. He even admitted to being moved to tears while reading it.
The return of Grant’s character, who was presumed dead in the third film, was a surprise for both the actor and the audience. He explained that the project emerged unexpectedly from Helen Fielding’s latest book. Despite his limited involvement, with only a few scenes in the film, Grant is eager to be part of the new Bridget Jones adventure.
In addition to Grant and Zellweger, Dame Emma Thompson will return as Dr. Rawlings, and newcomers Chiwetel Ejiofor and Leo Woodall will join the cast. The combination of the original cast and fresh faces adds to the anticipation for ‘Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy’.
As fans eagerly await the release of the next Bridget Jones movie, it’s clear that the series remains a beloved part of popular culture. The enduring appeal of the character and the world she inhabits has kept audiences engaged for nearly two decades.
With Hugh Grant’s enthusiastic endorsement and the promise of a compelling story, ‘Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy’ is poised to deliver another entertaining chapter in the life of Bridget Jones.
