31 Times That Mark Darcy Was Every Girl’s Dream Guy
24. Mark Might Be A Father Again
In Bridget Jones: Edge of Reason there was a cute moment when Mark thought Bridget was pregnant. It ended in a horrible fight but he was so excited that we couldn’t help but wish it was true. So in this film, when Bridget tells Mark she’s having a baby, it’s what we truly wanted to happen.
He excuses himself from the room and then comes back looking on the verge of tears. He tells Bridget it’s the happiest moment of his life and, even though we know it could be him or Jack, it doesn’t matter because he’s just so overjoyed.
It’s in these little moments when Mark cannot control his emotions that make us want to reach out and hug him. Every movie tries to break down a little of the barrier he has up from all the pain in his life and this is, really, the first time we see him get emotional enough to have tears in his eyes. We’ve seen him angry and we’ve seen him happy but we’ve never seen him this excited before.
It makes Mark easier to understand because he forced himself out of the room so that she wouldn’t see how happy he was until he figured out what he wanted to say.
