The 64 year old actor will reprise his role as Daniel Cleaver in the new Bridget Jones movie - but he told The Graham Norton Show that it was a tough to write the love rat back into the script
Hugh Grant is set to return as the charming yet notorious Daniel Cleaver in the upcoming Bridget Jones flick, and he's spilled the beans on how he nearly didn't make it back to the beloved franchise. The British heartthrob, known for his roles in classics like Notting Hill and Four Weddings And A Funeral, has been a key part of the Bridget Jones saga, starring alongside Renee Zellweger .
However, Hugh has hinted that the latest movie might not be all giggles and grins, despite its romantic release date on Valentine's Day 2025. Chatting on The Graham Norton Show, he revealed: "It's actually a very good and moving script, and I say that as someone who is horrid about scripts." However, it seems Hugh Grant had a tough time slipping back into his infamous character Daniel Cleaver for the newest film. He revealed: "There was absolutely no role for Daniel Cleaver, as far as I could see, but they wanted to cram me in. So we sat down together."I'm quite difficult these days and I felt what they proposed was fine, but not great. I felt he needed a third dimension.
