Jim Carrey will turn on London’s Christmas lights

Jim Carrey will turn on London’s Christmas lights next month, in the lead up to the release of Disney’s A Christmas Carol. Carrey will illuminate Oxford Street on November 3rd.

Colin Firth and Bob Hoskins, Carrey co-stars in the movie Christmas Carol will switch on the lights at Regent Street and St Paul’s Cathedral respectively. Hoskins said “It’s a fantastic privilege to be involved in such a huge London event, especially as I will be starting the celebrations at St Paul’s Cathedral in the heart of Dickensian London.”

Also that evening will include St Paul’s Cathedral Choir, attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the biggest ever Christmas Carol sing-a-long. So come all ye faithful down to St Paul’s that night.

The 3D animated adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol by Robert Zemeckis, is released worldwide on November 6. Do you think Carrey should turn on the lights in London? I thought Robert Pattinson might do it, as he has been approached about most things. To read more on this story go to digitalspy.co.uk.
