Renée Zellweger

She has landed the Darcy (Colin Firth) of her dreams, but the course of true love isn't running too smoothly for Bridget. He's still a bit of a prig, and that charming Daniel (Hugh Grant) is still oozing about. The Thailand shenanigans (she's busted for drugs) are silly, but that down-to-earth Renée Zellweger charm sees this patchy sequel through, and paves the way for the follow-up, Bridget Jones's Baby, which is due on Friday.

Bridget Jones' ending will be a surprise for the cast

Renee Zellweger has admitted she doesn't even know who the father of her baby is in the new Bridget Jones film.

This adaptation of Helen Fielding's novels casts Renée Zellweger as a brilliant Bridget, piling on the pounds to transform herself into the singleton who eats, drinks and smokes too much and is looking for love - but with Hugh Grant's caddish Cleaver or Colin Firth's decent Darcy? Daffy, delicious fun.

Bridget's grown up! Renee Zellweger gets to work on set

She won over a generation of women (and men) with her down-to-earth nature and, more often than not, endearingly unglamorous appearance, no matter what.

But it seems that Bridget Jones has undergone a mature makeover, as Renee Zellweger stepped out for filming on the third installment of the franchise in London on Monday looking decidedly chic.
