Bridget Jones’s Baby has been filming exteriors in London all week – yesterday, I covered some photos of Renee Zellweger in character as a massively pregnant Bridget. Now there are photos of Colin Firth-as-Mark Darcy shooting exteriors too!! OMG. I’m just going to call him Mark Darcy, okay? BECAUSE THAT’S WHO HE IS. Mark Darcy is getting a little bit jowly, a little bit rumpled, a little bit grey. But I still would. Because he’s Mark Darcy. Because of those big brown eyes. Because Colin Firth is SO GOOD at being a romantic hero. Because “But the thing is, um, what I’m trying to say, very inarticulately, is that, um, in fact, perhaps despite appearances, I like you, very much. Just as you are.” GAH!!!!!!!!!!
People Magazine has a write up about the mystery surrounding the plot of Bridget Jones’s Baby. Apparently, there’s some question about Bridget’s happily-ever-after. Mark Darcy was not wearing his wedding ring, so we don’t even know if they’re married in this film. We don’t even know if Bridget is knocked up with a Darcy Baby. And Mark Darcy was affectionately embracing another woman! HOW COULD YOU? *drunk-dials Daniel Cleaver*
I actually have a controversial opinion about Mark Darcy. I think I like him more than I like Fitzwilliam Darcy of Pride & Prejudice. I mean, the BBC miniseries with the wet white shirt and the sideburns and the burning looks he gave Jennifer Ehle, that’s all amazing. But I love Colin Firth so much as Mark Darcy. I have such a great deal of affection for him playing that role and how he’s always played it. So… who would you rather, Fitzwilliam Darcy or Mark Darcy?
