Where are the cast of Bridget Jones are now?

It's exactly 20 years since Renée Zellweger burst on to our screens as our favourite chain-smoking, big-knicker-wearing 'thirty-something' singleton in Bridget Jones's Diary. And while film sequels Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason and Bridget Jones's Baby went on to reveal what happened to hapless Bridget and her love interests Mark Darcy, played by Colin Firth, and Daniel Cleaver, played by Hugh Grant, just where are the original blockbuster's cast now?

Fun, relatable and breezy - just like Helen Fielding's books.

Greed review

The main emotion when you leave the cinema at the end of Greed might well be surprise that there's not a posse of lawyers running in with an injunction on behalf of billionaire Sir Philip Green.

Brian Viner, Daily Mail, 21st February 2020

After the silly Thailand shenanigans in The Edge of Reason, cinema's most lovable diarist returns to ramshackle London life. Renée Zellweger's Bridget is now a producer for a cable TV company; Patrick Dempsey's Jack is her new beau, but Colin Firth's awkward Darcy is still around, and Bridget has had a little accident in the birth-control department. It all makes for a good-natured comedy.

Film of the day: Bridget Jones's Baby

Bawdy comedy starring Renée Zellweger as Helen Fielding's titular heroine, Bridget, the car crash singleton with a fondness for Pinot Grigio, married men and big knickers.

Red Nose Day Actually review

Despite all the celeb cameos the charity update of Richard Curtis's romcom was bafflingly weak. But ultimately its job wasn't to get laughs - it was to help people.
