Renée Zellweger Cried Shooting Colin Firth’s Final Scene in ‘Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy’: ‘Maybe I’m Crazy Because I Love a Fictional Character’


Renée Zellweger discussed the making of ‘Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy’ at an FYC screening of the film in Los Angeles.

Zellweger was speaking on Saturday to an audience following an FYC screening of “Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy,” the fourth and final installment in the rom-com series adapted from Helen Fielding’s novels, now streaming on Peacock. “I was absolutely laser-focused on trying to get Leo and Chewitel in the film,” said Morris, who also had the challenge of casting Jones’ children with her late husband, Mark Darcy (Colin Firth), with newcomers Casper Knof and Mila Jankovic. “I didn’t expect to be so emotional about the end of this shared journey with my friend, recognizing, ‘Oh, wait, he’s gonna wrap today, and that’s it.’ And this is the finality of it just really was a gut punch.
