15 Predictions For 2016 Movies That Everybody Got Wrong
12. A Hugh Grant Cameo - Bridget Jones's Baby
Hugh Grant is now rich enough that he only makes movies he’s interested in, which evidentially didn’t include Bridget Jones’s Baby. This threequel had been teased for years, but Grant was always steadfast that he wouldn’t appear, citing his dislike of the second movie The Edge Of Reason.
The studio developed a script where his character appeared, but Grant apparently rolled his eyes and walked away, so the script was rewritten to include a new character played by Patrick Dempsey instead. Bridget Jones fans were still hopeful Grant would make some kind of token appearance, but while his character is mentioned he doesn’t actually turn up onscreen.
