Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy—What we know so far
In the previous three movies, Bridget Jones keeps track of everything happening in her life through her diary. In the upcoming installment, we see Bridget Jones living her life with her kids. She has dedicated her life as a single mother to her kids after her husband died. Now she feels skeptical about whether or not she will be dating again.
The movie revolves around how Jones finds herself back and whether she will start to find love again. Talking about the character, Renne said that after five years of hiatus, she is happy to explore the next chapter of Jones's life. Six years later, she is happy to be back to play the role. She even posted a few shooting pictures on her social media, ' Mama Jones is back in action.'
In the 2002 movie, Bridget is torn between her handsome boss Daniel Cleaver, played by Hugh Grant, and a nice stable man and later Jones's husband Mark Darcy, played by Colin Firth.
In the 2004 film, living her best life with Darcy, Bridget has a great life, but her happiness is short-lived when she suspects that Mark is getting too close with an intern. Under uncertain circumstances, she breaks up with Darcy and goes to Thailand for an interview. There she meets Daniel Cleaver again, her former boss. One thing led to another, and things were again messed up for Jones.
In 2016's Bridget Jones's Baby, we see Jones living her life, not that happy when she learns she is pregnant. After her breakup with Mark, she meets a hunk of American Jack Quant. Things are going just fine, but whose baby is she carrying? Is it Darcy's or Jack's?
