New London rom-com Rye Lane is aware of its history, but knows it's paving the way for something different. The film, from director Raine Allen-Miller, pays homage to the British romantic comedies that came before it, with tongue-in-cheek references to movies like Bridget Jones. There are also a few fun cameos in the film, including by comedian Munya Chawawa, but one in particular stands out.
When leading duo Yas (Vivian Oparah) and Dom (David Jonsson) head to a south London burrito truck, who should appear at the serving hatch to take their order but king of the rom-com and Bridget Jones' Mr. Darcy himself, Colin Firth. So, how does a person get British rom-com royalty to make a cameo in their debut feature?
