As a long-time fan of the Bridget Jones franchise, I must say it’s fascinating to see Hugh Grant reprising his role as Daniel Cleaver after all these years. His transformation from the love rat of the first two films to a serial killer and cult leader researcher is certainly intriguing, and I can’t wait to see how that plays out on screen.


On Saturday, Hugh Grant and his beautiful spouse, Anna Eberstein, elegantly attended a football game together at Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium in Como, Italy.

64-year-old movie actor was photographed walking hand-in-hand with a 41-year-old Swedish television producer, as they arrived fashionably at the match between Como 1907 and Parma, prior to its start.

The pair entered looking lively, beaming bright smiles, while Anna, daringly, seemed poised to outmatch the renowned performer with her stylish attire.

Anna, originally from Sweden but now living in London following her marriage to Hugh in 2018, sported a stylish red and blue plaid miniskirt.

She adorned herself with shapely stockings and high-heeled boots, further accentuating her slender figure.

In the mix, a graceful, silken navy shirt was chosen by Beauty, whereas Hugh selected a green blazer jacket, paired with a white shirt, and concluded with black pants.

The lovebirds have a common son named John Mungo, who was born in 2012. They also share two other daughters, one born in 2015 and another in 2018; however, their names are currently undisclosed.

Upon landing in the elegant Italian city, the actor and Anna attended a football game, seated next to notables such as renowned actor Andrew Garfield and ex-football star Raphael Varane.

During the entire match, the actor from Love Actually was spotted actively chatting with the 31-year-old football star.

His appearance follows the actor disclosing that he will feature in the forthcoming Bridget Jones movie, having apparently been written out of his previous role due to his character’s demise.

On a recent episode of The Graham Norton Show, Hugh shared insights about his latest horror film titled Heretic, and delved into the perspectives his parents have towards his acting profession.

When discussing his role in the fourth Bridget Jones movie, titled Mad About The Boy, he said: ‘It is a good and moving script – it is extremely funny but very sad.’ 

He added: ‘There was no obvious role for me, but I was crammed in. So we didn’t have a 60-year-old Daniel Clever wandering around looking at young girls I made up a good interim story for him.’

In the course of the performance, he talked about his parents’ initial lack of support regarding his acting career, confessing that they were not supportive whatsoever at first.

He revealed: ‘They were not at all supportive. My mother was a churchgoer and wanted me to be the Archbishop of Canterbury! In their world showbusiness meant nothing.’

At the time when Four Weddings and a Funeral was released, my mom attended a gathering of similar-minded individuals. When someone inquired about her boys, she responded, “One is an investment banker, while the other is an actor.

He added: ‘Another guest said, “How very interesting, which bank?” That’s the world I grew up in.’ 

The actor primarily gained fame for his roles in romantic comedies like Notting Hill, Love Actually, and Four Weddings and a Funeral.

But with his upcoming spine-tingling psychological horror film, he is set to transform his image as a Hollywood heartthrob into that of a ‘sinister antagonist.’

Titled “Heretic,” this upcoming film is penned and helmed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, who previously worked on John Krasinski’s 2018 post-apocalyptic horror flick “A Quiet Place.” The movie is slated to hit theaters on November 15.

In an eerie turn for the actor, this British thespian is cast as a character who abducts two young Mormon missionaries, women in this case, and subsequently exposes them to a harrowing sequence of trials and games that are downright terrifying.

While discussing his new movie, Hugh said: ‘I decided to play him as a trendy academic.’

As the movie gets increasingly grim, I found myself considering it twice as unsettling to inject humor into the situation.

He mentioned that he purposefully researched extensively on serial killers and cult leaders to avoid making his character a stereotypical villain with a moustache-twirling persona, and even adopted some of their appearances for the role.

His appearance on the show follows him disclosing that he joined the fourth Bridget Jones film only after revising his role within it.

In the initial installments of the series, the performer took on the role of womanizer Daniel Cleaver, sharing the screen with Renée Zellweger, portraying the awkward and unlucky-in-love Bridget Jones, and Colin Firth, playing the reserved lawyer Mark Darcy.

Instead, he didn’t take on his previous character in the 2016 movie, Bridget Jones’s Baby, as it seemed his character met his end, and instead, Bridget found herself expecting.

In the movie, it was Patrick Dempsey’s character, a wealthy love advisor from the U.S. named Jack Qwant, who vied for Bridget, while Mark was in the mix as well.

Hugh shared with Vanity Fair that his character didn’t seem to fit well within the narrative, so he decided to step back.

He confessed that the newest version of the script brought tears to his eyes because he loved it so much, yet unfortunately, his character didn’t get any screen time in this installment.

Because of the powerful writing by author Helen Fielding in Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy, where Bridget is depicted as a widow in her 50s with two kids after Mark’s passing several years ago – and even including Mark in some scenes – he chose to come back.

Hugh shared: “This book is simply exceptional; it’s incredibly humorous and deeply emotional. I didn’t read much of it, just a week’s worth, but after watching the movie, you’ll find yourself touched.

Last month, it was officially announced by the production company, Working Title, that the movie will be released in cinemas on Valentine’s Day next year, marking the completion of filming.
