Bridget Jones’s Daniel Cleaver has not “joined the times” as Hugh Grant makes big return

Approximately a decade has elapsed since Renée Zellweger last portrayed Bridget Jones in a movie, and an even greater amount of time has passed since Hugh Grant last appeared as her romantic interest, Daniel Cleaver.

In the first two movies, which came out in 2001 and 2004, Grant played a significant role. However, his character didn’t appear in the third film, Bridget Jones’s Baby, released in 2016. It was suggested that his character had been killed off-screen, but surprisingly, it turned out in the final scenes that he was actually still alive.

Currently, Grant reappears as the charming scoundrel in “Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy”, a story that finds Bridget once again venturing into the world of dating, four years after the sorrowful demise of her beloved Mark Darcy (portrayed by Colin Firth).

Currently, Daniel isn’t pursuing Bridget romantically anymore, but they remain connected and he seems to have a tight bond with her children, frequently taking care of them. Despite his growth in certain aspects, he remains much the same individual we’ve known for years.

He pointed out: “Notably, in the movie, he carries an old-school flip phone, suggesting he hasn’t exactly jumped on the modern bandwagon. His vehicle is antique, making him a classic individual.

In the movie, there’s a curve in his character where we get to view him from a new perspective. This opens up opportunities for his personal development too. Absolutely, it was significant that Daniel was included.

According to Morris, he found it captivating to encounter Bridget’s character in an entirely fresh aspect of her life, specifically as a widow with two children.

He mentioned the need to distinguish between Bridget as a mother (Bridget the mum) and Bridget single (Bridget the singleton), which we’re accustomed to. It was fascinating to observe Bridget, whom he refers to as Bridget, not Renee, how she made the children feel at ease and filled the house set with affection.

Since Bridget consistently guides with affection, her home is always brimming with love, regardless of any heated exchanges or situations. There must be a nurturing bubble of this love she cultivated on set, making her an exceptional figure among them. They all felt like they belonged to a family within no time, which was quite extraordinary. This special bond was truly remarkable.
