Will ‘Anatomy Of A Fall’ star dog Messi interview celebrities at the Cannes Film Festival this year?

‘Anatomy Of A Fall’ was undoubtedly one of the most famous and well made films of last year. It swept many awards including an Academy Award for the Best Original Screenplay. It also won the Palme D’Or at last years Cannes and the Palm Dog Award for the best canine performance in a film, all thanks to their four legged star, Messi.

Messi was a standout at the 2023 Oscars with photographers constantly capturing him for pictures that truly make your heart warm and fuzzy.

The Justine Triet directed film had an intense lineup of actors with Sandra Huller leading along with Swann Arlaud  and the immensely talented child actor Milo Machado-Graner.

But there was one actor who stood out the most and the stole the spotlight in every scene that he was in. The dog, Messi.

Credited as the greatest dog actor, Messi had very difficult scenes to pull off which he did with absolute ease. In one scene, he had to pretend intoxication and puking. The coach and owner, Laura Martin shared that it took 2 months of preparation for Messi to ace the scene. During this period, he learned to position his neck peculiarly and be "carried with his body very limp" to look unconscious.

Now, Messi will return to enchant us all with his big blue eyes on the Cannes Film Festival Red Carpet. But he won’t be coming as a guest, he’ll be coming in as an interviewer.

They will use a special 360 degree microphone and camera attached to his back. The star will talk to celebrities with the help of an actor behind the scenes. Comedian Raphael Mezrahi will be assisting Messi from backstage.

"He's the star... I'm just lending him my voice,” said the comedian.

The short clips of these interviews will be available on French channels and TikTok.
