Hugh Grant and Renee Zellweger rocked up on the red carpet on Monday for the premiere of Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy in Paris, causing a flurry of cheers from the audience.
The Hollywood A-listers reunite in the film after shooting to fame in Bridget Jones’s Diary in 1996, in which Renee, 55, plays the titular role and Hugh, 64, stars as love rat, Daniel Cleaver.
Last night, the pair posed for pictures in the French capital for the cameras and appeared to have just begun to get older. Renee stunned in a black, lace off-the-shoulder dress teamed with a pair of patent stilettos. She donned a chic low ponytail with a black bow to show off her effortlessly glamorous makeup and elegant gold jewelry.
Hugh, who returns to the Bridget Jones franchise after swerving the most recent instalment, Bridget Jones’s Baby, also looked dapper, sporting a classic black velvet two-piece suit and a crisp white shirt.
The actors, who were co-stars Leo Woodall and Chiwetel Ejiofor, their director, Michael Morris, and Helen Fielding, whose 1996 novel Bridget Jones’s Diary was the inspiration for the hit movie that created Renee’s beloved heroine, enjoyed posing for photos together.
Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy is based on Fielding’s 2013 novel of the same name. Set 14 years after the events of The Edge of Reason, Mad About The Boy catches up with Bridget, now a 51-year-old widow who still keeps a diary. Mad About the Boy reveals that Bridget is the only single mother of two after her beloved Darcy passed away five years ago.
Bridget Jones’s Baby addressed Hugh’s character Cleaver’s absence by saying he had supposedly died in a plane crash, but the flick had one final twist. There was hope for Daniel Cleaver to return in a future movie after a newspaper article revealed the movie’s ending revealed that he had been found alive.
Hugh stated in a href=”http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/story/hugh-grant-heretic-bridget-jones-toronto-awards-insider” rel=”nofollow” target=”_blank”>Vanity Fair interview that he knew the Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy team wanted the character back, so he wrote some scenes that the writers liked so much that they decided to include them in the script because he knew he couldn’t make Cleaver fit into the story of Bridget Jones’s Baby.
The Heretic star went on to say Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy is “very funny” and “very moving”, but revealed he only did a week’s work, so he isn’t in it a lot.
