Leon Kennedy is Zach Cregger's choice of bodyguard: 'I would just bear hug myself around him'

"If I was stuck in my movie and I could pick any Resident Evil character, I would bring Leon because I would just bear hug myself around him, close my eyes, and just let him protect me."
Zach Cregger

I think Leon Kennedy may be the only valid answer to the question of which Resident Evil videogame character you'd want protecting you throughout the events of Cregger's Resident Evil film (via PlayStation Blog). The only other substitution I'd accept is Jill Valentine and maybe Billy Coen—that is if you can lure him out of the woods.
