"'For Bridget to be honoured as a British icon with her own statue alongside Paddington Bear, Mary Poppins and Admiral Lord Nelson (alright, he's down the road a bit!) is a huge thrill,' says Bridget Jones author Helen Fielding, 'and reason for everyone to raise a glass of chardonnay to being "just as you are". I am touched and delighted for Bridget and hope that [her] mummy pants will ensure a sleek silhouette for this exciting statue unveiling.'"
"A new statue of the legendary literary and movie character is being unveiled as part of Leicester Square's Scenes in the Square trail. Renée Zellweger's character will join other big-screen icons, including Paddington Bear, Mary Poppins, Harry Potter, Batman, Gene Kelly and Indiana Jones, as a monument in the spiritual home of London's cinema scene in November. Catch it now on streaming, and prepare your Insta feed for the great unveiling next month."
A new statue of Bridget Jones will be unveiled in Leicester Square in November as part of the Scenes in the Square trail. The statue represents Renée Zellweger's character and will join cinematic icons including Paddington Bear, Mary Poppins, Harry Potter, Batman, Gene Kelly and Indiana Jones. Helen Fielding called Bridget being honoured as a British icon a huge thrill and suggested raising a glass of chardonnay while joking about "mummy pants" ensuring a sleek silhouette. There are four Bridget Jones films; the latest, Mad About the Boy, was a box-office and critical success and is available on streaming. Time Out described the film as "The perfect pint-glass raise to a legendary Londoner."
