Right, so, Bridget Jones, eh? Back for another round of wine-guzzling, diary-scribbling, love-life disasters. Twenty-three years, the woman hasn’t aged a day, has she? Must be all that Chardonnay keeping her youthful.
( stares blankly )
Personally, I wouldn’t call getting shagged by Colin Firth then being widowed "a singletons life". Sounds more like ‘living the bloody dream’ to me.
( makes exaggerated sighing noise)
But alright, fair play to Renée Zellweger, she’s committed to this role. Who’d have thought a Texan could nail the accent of a tipsy middle-class Brit so convincingly, eh?
I mean, all these new actors trying to muscle in on the action – Leo Woodall, some posh boy from ‘The White Lotus’. He’ll be playing the love interest, no doubt. Hopefully he’s better at love than he was at remembering his lines.
( starts mimicking Woodall’s accents, making it hilariously bad )
"Oh, you Bridget, you’re so quirky and… clumsy. Why don’t we, like, go to Glastonbury and Vomit on each other?" *
It’s all a bit predictable, isn’t it? Bridget falls for the wrong guy, hilarity ensues, maybe there’s a musical montage with a Celine Dion soundtrack. Then, just when you think all hope is lost, she finds true love with either Chiwetel Ejiofor or the lad who looks like he just escaped from a boy band. Classic rom-com formula, mate, nothing to see here.
( shrugs dramatically)
Still, I’ll probably watch it. Who doesn’t love a good chuckle at someone else’s misery, eh? Just don’t expect me to shed a tear when Mark Darcy’s disembodied voice croons from beyond the grave. Get a grip, Bridget.
Note: Feel free to expand on the humour and add more references specific to the individual comedians mentioned.
When the Bazaar team heard at the beginning of this year that there was a fourth Bridget Jonesfilm was in the making, we couldn’t believe our luck. After 23 years, Renée Zellweger returns to the role of Jones, and that can only mean laughing, screeching and roaring. Although after watching the new trailer we also know that there will be tears. The trailer of Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy is finally here. We’ll tell you all about it.

Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy
The recordings of Bridget Jones 4 started in May. In addition to Zellweger, Hugh Grant returns as Daniel Cleaver, as do Sarah Solemani as Miranda and Jim Broadbent as Bridget’s father – just to name a few. We also welcome a number of new faces, such as none other than Leo Woodall (!), known from the hit series The White Lotus in One Day.
Bridget Jones 4 trailer
In the trailer of Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy we see how Bridget is now a single mother in her fifties. Her great love, Mark Darcy, played by Colin Firth, has passed away, but his memories remain vivid. This is how we hear his voice during the trailer. Four years after his death, Bridget opens up to love again. But whether with the school teacher Mr. Wallaker, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor, or with the 29-year-old Roxster, played by Leo Woodall, is still unclear. We also see familiar faces, such as friends Shazzer, Jude and Tom, and Bridget’s doctor Dr. Rawlings, played by Emma Thompson. The romcom can be seen in Dutch cinemas from February 14. Until then, we can dream away at the images below.

How will this new installment of Bridget Jones compare to its predecessors?
## Bridget Jones is Back, Baby!
**Interviewer:** Welcome back to the show! So, the internet’s abuzz with news of Bridget Jones gracing our screens once again, 23 years after the first film. We’ve got comedy genius [guest name] here to
give us their take on the return of everyone’s favorite chaotic singleton. [Guest Name], welcome!
**Guest:** Cheers, mate. Glad to be here. Bridget, eh? More like Bridesmaid Jones, if you ask me. Twenty-three years and she’s still stumbling through life like Bambi on ice, bless her heart. [[1](https://people.com/bridget-jones-mad-about-the-boy-everything-to-know-8640987)]You’d think after all that drama with Mark Darcy, she’d have learned a thing or two about relationships. But hey, some people thrive on disaster, right?
**Interviewer:** (Laughs) You’re not wrong there. So, we know Renée Zellweger is back as our beloved Bridget. Still think she nails that British accent?
**Guest:** Mate, Zellweger’s dedication to this role is astounding. You gotta hand it to her, she completely disappears into Bridget. It’s like watching a Texan LARPing as a tipsy Londoner, and it works brilliantly. I’ll tell you one thing though, if I could speak fluent posh like that, I’d be holding court down the pub, charming everyone with witty anecdotes about my imaginary life as a Lord.
**Interviewer:** (chuckles) I bet! And what about these new faces joining the cast, like Leo Woodall, the chap from “The White Lotus”? Seems like he’s in line to be the new love interest.
**Guest:** Ah, Leo Woodall. Lovely lad, but he might need to up his game if he wants to keep up with Bridget’s chaotic energy. Seen him in “The White Lotus,” he’s a bit…reserved, innit? Maybe Bridget needs to drag him out of his shell a bit. I reckon they could have a proper laugh together, you know, stumbling through Glastonbury, accidentally dyeing their hair fluorescent pink… classic Bridget shenanigans.
**Interviewer:** Sounds like a recipe for disaster, and that’s why we love it! So, you think this new instalment will be a great success?
**Guest:** Honestly, it’s Bridget Jones! It’s practically guaranteed a hit. It’s like comfort food for the soul. We all love a good rom-com, especially one with a protagonist we can relate to, even if she does have a tendency to set her kitchen on fire while simultaneously trying to text her crush. It’s predictable, it’s cheesy, it’s hilarious.
**Interviewer:** (Nodding) Absolutely! Any final thoughts for Bridget Jones fans out there eagerly awaiting this new chapter?
**Guest:** Just one thing: hold onto your Chardonnay, because it’s going to be a wild ride! And don’t forget the tissues. Even Bridget needs a good cry every now and then.
