Get ready to cry with laughter! Hugh Grant spills the beans about the 'very sad' fourth Bridget Jones film that's set to tug at your heartstrings!

Hugh Grant recently graced The Graham Norton Show with his presence and did not hold back on sharing juicy details about the eagerly anticipated fourth installment of the Bridget Jones franchise. The heartthrob actor is back on the big screen, reprising his iconic role as the charmingly roguish Daniel Cleaver, much to the excitement of fans everywhere. But before you break out the popcorn, Hugh has some news that might just dim your spirits; the new film, set to release on February 14, 2025, is "very sad" and promises to tug at your heartstrings as well as bring a few chuckles along the way.

During the show, the actor opened up about the film's striking emotional depth, hinting that while there are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, viewers should prepare for a rollercoaster of feelings that could lead to a whole new genre of romantic comedies. Hugh himself was apprehensive about returning, confessing that there was ultimately "no role for him" if the film hadn’t taken this heartfelt turn. The unexpected sadness is something that its writer Helen Fielding has been weaving into the story, promising an experience that’s as touching as it is hilarious, which is essentially what every Bridget Jones fan craves.

As if the anticipation for Bridget Jones 4 wasn’t high enough, the tidbit that it features a “very sad true story” promises a level of authenticity that might surprise us all. Hugh Grant’s cheeky charm is expected to shine through, juxtaposed with the raw emotions that will resonate on a deeper level. The film may be bittersweet, but the chemistry between Bridget and Daniel, played by the always-dashing Grant, will undoubtedly still deliver those swoon-worthy moments that have made the series a beloved classic.

Remember the first time you clutched your sides with laughter watching Bridget embarrass herself in the name of love? Well, it sounds like her journey will evolve in ways we haven't seen before. And as a bonus fun fact, Hugh Grant's character Daniel Cleaver first hit the big screen in 2001, and with a fourth film in the making, it may just become the longest-running rom-com franchise of all time! How's that for a reason to grab those tissues on Valentine's Day 2025? So, sit tight and get ready to relive the hilarity, heartbreak, and yes, those beautiful moments that connect us all – because the world of Bridget is about to get a whole new set of feels!
