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.

Bridget Jones named most inspiring movie heroine

Female First, 6th March 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.
