Now a fully-fledged producer who quite literally has the ear of her anchor (a very good Sarah Solemani), Bridget believes she has her professional life sorted. Her other on-again/off-again paramour Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) has recently passed away (no spoilers here; that reveal that takes place in the first few minutes), and a depressed Bridget is almost set to bounce back with the help of mysterious stranger Jack (Patrick Dempsey). Or maybe it’s our old friend Darcy (Colin Firth), who still sounds as if he’s handing Bridget a detention every time he utters her name through clenched teeth?

Bridget Jones’s Baby is Renée Zellweger third time playing the titular character, making her debut in 2001’s Bridget Jones’s Diary.
It’s hard not to find reasons to smile at Renee Zellweger, here in “Bridget Jones’s Baby“. Only time (and box office receipts) will tell if Bridget is destined to whip out her diary for a fourth time.
Zellweger said Bridget Jones is very relatable to audiences, which makes everyone love and adore her.
Miranda makes it her mission to find Bridget a mate, and takes her to a music festival, which is where she falls for Jack – literally, to start with, which of course is inevitable, since she is still the world’s most hapless woman.
ET spoke to Zellweger at the premiere, who flaunted her slim figure in a strapless Schiaparelli dress.
Zellweger, who was briefly married to American singer Kenny Chesney in 2005, said being an adult means realising that conventional ideals do not apply to everyone. After all, the newest installment in the franchise, “Bridget Jones’s Baby”, focuses on her pregnancy and how no one knows whether the dad is longtime love and ex Mark (Colin Firth) or new love interest Jack (Patrick Dempsey). Additionally, the actress claims to have no regrets about her long career break, and she says it allowed her to explore other venues outside the glamorous world of cinema. “She’s perfectly imperfect, and that’s what people relate to in her”.
Bridget Jones is not cute.

“I wanted to go back to school”. The star of the movie is not pregnant in real life and has never had a baby. “I think that’s really her charm, isn’t it?” Hanging onto the klutzy indomitability that got her through earlier chapters, Bridget will rap a happy birthday to herself when no one else is around to sing to her, dance gangnam style in fairy wings at a christening, and call time on two guys so busy feuding over parental rights, they’ve forgotten that she’s the one carrying to term.
