Hugh Grant Still Signed On For Bridget Jones' Diary Three

Fans of the 'Bridget Jones Diary' movies can breathe a sigh of relief because Hugh Grant is still a part of the film, despite recent reports suggesting otherwise.

Dismissing the rumours that Hugh had dropped out of playing Daniel Cleaver for the third time, the BBC reports Working Title chairman, Tim Bevan as saying:

"Reports that Hugh Grant has exited Bridget Jones's Baby are untrue."

Admitting that work on the script has delayed production, Tim added: "We are still working on the script, hence the delay to the start of production, but the film is going ahead as planned."

Despite signing up for a third movie, Hugh spoke of his uncertainty of reprising his role in 2009, telling the BBC:

"I think Bridget Jones two was a mistake, to be honest with you. It wasn't a very good script and I resisted it for a long time, so did Colin and so did Renee. And we got kind of conned into making it."
