Director Michael Morris has opened up about Colin Firth’s involvement in Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, including his reaction to scenes in the new film.
Speculation had swirled that Firth would be axed from the film entirely, and there were doubts whether his character Mark Darcy would be killed off.
He said when he came to the set that we built of the house, and there were all these pictures from the last 25 years on the bookshelves of Bridget and Mark, of him as a young man in his 20s, and he walked through that set that he hadn't been part of.
The filmmaker revealed Firth’s emotional reaction to his role in the film as he shared: “For Colin, he was on board and it was so sad that we couldn't use him more.
‘That’s one secret I wanted to save’ said Morris about Firth’s involvement in production.
