The new movie is based on author Helen Fielding's 2013 novel Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy which begins four years after Mark's death. The book follows Bridget as a single mum and navigating how to keep her dating life alive while she tries and struggles with social media and dating apps.
An inside source has confirmed that One Day star Leo Woodall will play Bridget's love interest in the new movie...
"Bridget is going to be a real cougar in the new film and she’ll be seen starting a relationship with a much younger character played by Leo," a source told The Sun.
“Hugh Grant is back as Daniel Cleaver, so there will be a love triangle between Bridget’s older flame and this much younger new man.”
Whatever happens, everyone is very excited for the ultimate rom-com heroine to return and in light of this exciting news, it feels like time for a Bridget Jones movie marathon with the girls!
