Renée Zellweger reunited with some of her Bridget Jones co-stars on Monday as a statue of her famous alter-ego was unveiled in Leicester Square.The Oscar-winning actress was joined by Sally Phillips — who memorably played Shazza — as well as Leo Woodall and Chiwetel Ejiofor, who both starred opposite her as romantic leads in this year’s Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy. The trio looked on as Phillips whisked away a purple cloth to reveal Bridget captured mid-stride with her diary, immortalising one of the capital’s most famous fictional residents in bronze.The figure becomes the latest addition to the West End’s popular Scenes in the Square trail, joining icons such as Harry Potter, Batman, Paddington, Mary Poppins, Wonder Woman and Daniel Kaluuya’s Chris Washington from Get Out. It also marks the first time a romantic-comedy character has been honoured as part of the installation.
