And it’s safe to say that age has done nothing to reduce the Englishman’s gentlemanly charm, as he looked suave and sophisticated in new pictures leaked online.
The 55-year-old heartthrob, who first came onto our radar playing Mr Darcy in Pride and Prejudice, captured our imaginations in the first Bridget Jones’ films, where he played a reliable and brooding character.
In contrast to Hugh Grant’s unfaithful and glamorous Daniel, Darcy is a stand offish yet ultimately kind character - and our dream husband.
And as if we could be any more excited for the third instalment of the Bridget Jones’ films, it has also been confirmed that Patrick Dempsey (yes, the actual McDreamy) will be playing a role in the movie.
So that should fill the hole in your life that we thought Grey’s Anatomy had taken away forever..
