Bridget Jones Diary 3 Movie: Is Ed Sheeran Playing Renee Zellweger’s New Boyfriend After Hugh Grant Left Threequel?

Reports have recently surfaced saying that the "Bridget Jones' Diary 3" movie has officially started filming, bringing Renée Zellweger back to the big screen playing the neurotic Brit trying to find love - will she find it with Ed Sheeran after Hugh Grant left the third installment of the story?

By the end of the second movie, Bridget had finally found love in Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) and was settling down with him, while Daniel Cleaver (Grant) was still occasionally in the picture - but details of the "Bridget Jones Diary 3" movie have been kept mostly secret, though it's known the movie will depart from the book it will be based on.

According to Metro, even though there's little information about the "Bridget Jones Diary 3" movie besides the fact it will be called "Bridget Jones' Baby," it appears that one major pop star will be showing his ginger face, as the film's crew was reportedly seen at Sheeran's concert at Croke Park, Dublin, last month.

Sky News reports that Zellweger was nowhere to be seen as the scenes were being filmed, but a stunt double for the Oscar-winning actress could be seen sitting on the shoulders of a mystery man, so this looks like a fair confirmation that the "Bridget Jones 3" movie has already begun principal photography.

According to The Mirror, Zellweger's stunt double was used so the producers wouldn't call attention to the shoot, as the moment the blonde actress popped in surrounded by cameras it'd be obvious that the "Bridget Jones' Diary" 3 movie was in production.

For now, it's only the very early days of the shoot, and it's been reported that none of the main talents for the show have gotten involved yet, with only stunts being used so far; reportedly, Firth will be reprising his role as Mark, with Grant being out of the "Bridget Jones Diary" 3 movie, although there's no official confirmation on any account.
