“Definitely script-wise, I thought it was the best,” Grant said of the forthcoming film, though he admitted that he hasn’t seen it just yet. “It’s the one with the most heart,” he added.
Grant described the Fielding novel that inspired the fourth movie, which has the same title as the film, as “brilliant.” Fielding’s book “was really about her experience of bringing up her children alone after her husband died,” Grant said. “It’s very moving, but also very funny.”
Before the release of Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, Grant is also starring in a new religious horror movie called Heretic. When Extra asked the Notting Hill star how he feels about the wide range of characters he has played of late, from his romantic comedy and horror roles to becoming an Oompa-Loompa in 2023’s Wonka, Grant appeared positive about the breadth of opportunities he has embraced.
“I’m loving it,” he said.
