Grant, 63, had taken a brief break from the movie series back in 2016 with his character written out as dead. However, at the end of the movie Bridget Jones’s Baby hinted at a promise of his character’s return in forthcoming sequels with a suggestive newspaper headline.

The Love Actually actor also noted how exciting the plot of the film is as it is partly based on novelist Helen Fielding’s personal experiences of single motherhood.
