If you haven’t watched movies in the Bridgette Jones Diary franchise, you are truly missing out on a lot of great movies. Movies where a woman takes control of her life and doesn’t like anyone tell her who she is and who she’s meant to be.
Sure, at first she does, but over the course of the franchise, she finds her strength and we absolutely love that about her.
Bridgette Jones is a queen.
Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, the fourth film in the series, is set for release in 2025 and now we’re a little hesitant because Hugh Grant said on The Graham Norton Show, that the movie is “very, very sad.”
He best be lying.
“As well as being extremely funny, it’s very, very sad.”
Take it back Hugh. Take it back.
Grant plays womanizer/douche Daniel Cleaver. While he wasn’t in the third film, he is in the fourth. We’re wondering the role that his character will play in the story, because it seems as though Jones has moved on from him. However, Grant said he helped with his characters role, after initially not liking the way that his character was in the fourth installment.
Grant said, “He’s in his 60s now, you can’t just have him smoothing his way down King’s Road eyeing up young girls.”
We mean technically he could, but we’d really appreciate it not being that way also.
Either way we’ll be waiting for the movie to come out and seeing it as soon as it’s in theathers.
