A FILM fan who is competing in the Great North Run dressed as one of his movie idols has become the star attraction. Dennis Hewitt climbed atop an empty plinth in London’s Trafalgar Square as part of Angel of the North sculptor Antony Gormley’s One and Other art project on Wednesday.
The project, which started in June, involves a different person taking their place on the plinth every hour, 24 hours a day, for 100 days.
Dennis, 50, from Birtley, a film extra, used his hour to tell people about his experience of running every Great North Run since it began, and of his support of St Oswald’s Hospice in Gosforth, Newcastle. He wore all 28 Great North Run T-shirts, taking them off one by one while telling stories of each run and speaking of significant dates in the history of St Oswald’s.
