Bridget Jones, wanton sex goddess, is pregnant in her long-awaited return to the big screen. The question is by whom: Colin Firth’s quietly charming barrister Mark Darcy or newcomer Patrick Dempsey’s smooth American Jack?
Renee Zellweger and Dempsey taped a SiriusXM Town Hall promoting “Bridget Jones’s Baby” with Entertainment Weekly’s Henry Goldblatt, who asked if they think everyone’s favorite hapless heroine chose the right man in the end.
“That’s a good question. I don’t know. Possibly!” Zellweger said coyly. “I guess we all have to wait and see, don’t we?”
Dempsey seemed to possibly spoil the finale with his answer: “I think so. Ah, see, I might have given something away there. Maybe I did, maybe I didn’t.”
The franchise’s first two films focused on the love triangle between Bridget, Mark, and her dashing boss Daniel. Dempsey admitted he didn’t re-watch the earlier movies as preparation “because I didn’t want to be intimidated by Hugh Grant.”
“He’s a talented actor and very, very funny, and there’s just no replacing that,” he explained.
“Bridget Jones’s Baby” hits theaters Friday. The Town Hall premieres Friday at 2pm ET and will replay throughout the weekend on Entertainment Weekly Radio.
