The character created by Helen Fielding and played by Zellweger in four films, is to be immortalised in bronze in Leicester Square where it will become a permanent fixture
Bridget Jones, the character created by Helen Fielding and played by Renée Zellweger in four films, is to be immortalised in bronze in central London.
The new statue will be unveiled on 17 November and joins a number of others portraying key icons of cinema in Leicester Square, home to four cinemas and numerous red carpet premieres.
The news was first reported by Deadline’s Baz Bamigboye, who spoke to Eric Fellner, co-chair of Working Title, the studio behind the film adaptations.
Fellner said he was “over-excited” about the development because “we’ve never had anything like that before. I think it’s great because Bridget’s a proper London heroine and the idea of having Bridget ever present in a brilliant location in the centre of London is really exciting.”
