Publish date: 2024-06-25

Renee Zellweger has revealed that the script for the new Bridget Jones movie had no definite ending.

The films trio of writers (Helen Fielding, Dan Mazer and Emma Thompson) decided that in order to keep new storylines a surprise for fans, they would try to keep things as ambiguous as possible by filming two different endings.

Renee Zellweger, who reprises her role of Bridget Jones for the third time, told Heat Magazine, “they filmed two ambiguous endings.”

“The script says, ‘X stands next to Bridget, Y stands next to Bridget.’ But no one ever knew who X and Y were.”

The big mystery for fans to decipher will be, just who does Bridget end up with at the end of the film? Will it be on-off partner Mark Darcy (Colin Firth), or new love interest Jack Qwant (Patrick Dempsey)?

And it would appear that even the stars of the movie were kept in the dark as to how the story would unfold.

Renee explained “no one ever knew who X and Y were. And the script continued that way. It was not printed. No ending was ever printed in the scripts.”

“The guys just changed places so we got both things done,” she continued. “So whoever was there with the cellphone camera got both and that was that.”

Bridget Jone’s Baby opened in cinemas on Friday (September 16th).
