First look at Bridget Jones 4 as Renee Zellwegger returns to iconic role and starts filming in London

Renee Zellwegger has been spotted filming scenes in London for the highly-anticipated Bridget Jones 4.

The fourth movie in the series will kick off with hopeless Bridget navigating life as a single mum of two following the death of Colin Firth’s character Mark Darcy.

The 55-year-old actress, who plays the title character in the hit franchise, was seen shooting scenes in the capital.

Renee wore an emerald green midi dress, black buttoned cardigan and a grey wool jacket. She styled her blonde tresses in an updo and wore subtle makeup for the scene.

Renee was seen chatting to some of the entourage in between takes and was all smiles as she waved to the camera.

It comes after The Sun revealed that Renee will date a toyboy in the movie, locking lips with One Day heart-throb Leo Woodall, 27.

A source revealed: “Hugh Grant is back as Daniel Cleaver, so there will be a love triangle between Bridget’s older flame and this much younger new man.”
