Patrick, 49, joins Renee Zellweger and Colin Firth, who will reprise their roles as Bridget Jones and Mark Darceyrespectively. The third film will not be based on Helen Fielding's latest novel Mad About the Boy but instead will be centered around columns thatthe author wrote eight years ago.

One former cast member that will be missing from this film is everyone's favorite bad boy Daniel Cleaver played Hugh Grant. Speaking about the project, the actor explained he chosenot to take on the role again as he wasn’t a fan of the script. "I decided not to do it," he told Birmingham's Free Radio. "But I think they are going to go ahead and do it without Daniel. The book’s excellent, by the way, but the script is completely different – well, the script as I last saw it a few years ago."

Losing fan favoriteHugh Grant isn’t the only problem the film has incurred. At the beginning ofthe year rumors were circling about a rift between Renee and the script writerHelen. It was reported that there were a clash of personalities between the twowomen on the last film.

Well we hope everyone canwork it out because we can’t wait to see what Bridget has been up to!
