Bridget Jones is back, and it’s the Beast Games finale: What to stream this week

Advertisements

After almost a decade away, hapless heroine Bridget Jones is back.

Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy hits cinemas this Thursday, right in time for Valentine’s Day (I have booked tickets… tragically).

Following the death of Mr Darcy, Bridget (played by Renée Zellweger) is now a widow, trying to bring up two kids. She is also re-entering the world of dating, by having a fling with a much younger man – played by Leo Woodall, of One Day fame.

My colleague Colin Paterson asked Renée how she began preparing to play Bridget again.

“I start trying to speak like [Bridget] before I start rehearsing,” the American actress said.

“So I sound a bit like I have pretences, putting on airs for a while. It’s abysmal for a while,” she laughed.

“I find that hard to believe,” Leo jumped in. But Renée insisted, “it’s true.”

Tune in to BBC Breakfast on Monday for Colin’s full interview, ahead of the film’s release.
