Have we always known Mark's middle name is Fitzwilliam?
When they were exchanging vows, I already knew that it would be Fitzwilliam after the character he's based on. Nice touch
But then I thought perhaps I'd already guessed because we'd heard it before. Have we?
I don't think so. I think this movie is the first time we heard his, Bridget's and Daniel's (Vivian?!) middle names.
shareVivian was my father's name, but, it's amusing to think of it as Daniel's middle name
I loved that little touch of Fitzwilliam being his middle name
in the book she doesn't have one. she wonders why that is when jude gets married
shareI love the way that Bridget jones diary is like a modern day pride and prejudice. Well perhaps not the new film lol, but the first one at least where. I read pride and prejudice after reading Bridget jones and loved all the similarities.
shareHelen Fielding loved the 1995 Pride & Prejudice mini-series (starring Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy) so much she wrote the Bridget Jones series as a modern day P&P. What was so cool is that she got Colin Firth to play the Mark Darcy role in all 3 movies. In P&P, Mr. Darcy's first name is Fitzwilliam and they used that as his middle name in this BJB movie.😉
shareIt's what annoyed me recently as one of the funniest parts of the book is when she interviews Colin Firth about Mr darcy and how wet he got.....repeatedly lol.
It's also funny that they chose to make Bridget chubby as from the 1st book she was only about 9 stone. It was a joke about women's insecurities with their bodies

I also love the pride and prejudice tv series with Colin Firth. I'm very glad he actually plays Mark in the Bridget jones films x
