It's not a spoiler, it's in the book, it's in the trailer,
00:02
but at the beginning of the movie, we learn that Mark Darcy,
00:05
Colin Firth's character, has passed away.
00:07
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
00:08
I know. How do you react when you read that?
00:11
You know, I was really surprised at how emotional it was
00:14
to be on the set that day.
00:16
I mean, I read the book, I read the script,
00:18
we did the table reading, I knew I didn't know
00:19
what was gonna happen, but when Colin was standing there
00:22
in all his Mark Darcy finery with his Mark Darcy
00:25
little briefcase, I started welling up,
00:28
and I thought, my God, I'm a crazy person.
00:30
Yeah, you're like, he's just a character.
00:33
This is just a character in the movie.
00:35
Yeah, we all loved him, though.
00:36
I love Mark Darcy, and I love Bridget and Mark,
00:38
and I love working with Colin,
00:40
and working with somebody for 25 years, you know?
00:43
I know. It's a thing.
00:44
And Hugh Grant. Yes!
00:46
Hugh Grant returns. Yes!
00:48
And what's it like being back together with Hugh?
00:50
Oh, he's the best. He really is.
00:52
He's so much fun, but I don't have to tell anybody
00:54
that, you guys know.
00:55
He's our, like, favorite grumbler in chief, isn't he?
