London has added a new figure to its cinematic landscape with the unveiling of a bronze monument dedicated to Bridget Jones. Situated in Leicester Square, the sculpture pays tribute to one of the most recognisable heroines of modern British cinema. Renée Zellweger, who shaped the character across more than two decades, attended the ceremony and noted that the statue captures the familiar spirit of Bridget.
The monument joins the Scenes in the Square series, where characters such as Paddington and Harry Potter already stand. Bridget’s inclusion marks a rare moment for the romantic comedy genre, placing a female lead known for wit, self irony and everyday realism alongside major cultural icons.
Created in collaboration with author Helen Fielding, the installation reflects the long standing influence of the Bridget Jones franchise. Beginning as a newspaper column and growing into a global film phenomenon, the character has remained part of public conversation across generations. The statue in Leicester Square now anchors that legacy in the city that shaped her story.
