Overview
- A bronze likeness of Bridget Jones was unveiled on November 17 in Leicester Square, where Renée Zellweger attended, posed for photos and called the statue “adorable.”
- Speaking to BBC News, she said Bridget resonates because of her vulnerability and humanness and that people recognize their own struggles in the character.
- Ant Anstead marked the moment by reposting unveiling footage to his Instagram Stories with the caption “Iconic,” set to Olivia Dean’s “It Isn’t Perfect But It Might Be.”
- Coverage did not confirm whether Anstead was physically at the ceremony, though his recent social media posts indicate he has been in the U.K.
- After tabloid questions about his recent living arrangements, Anstead’s representative told Page Six he is working mostly in the U.K., staying in a friend’s detached guest house in Orange County, and that he and Zellweger are still together.
