Hollywood will do anything to avoid paying a real human, actor, huh? Just kidding! We are all very happy for the success of Messi the dog, who was the breakout star in the Academy Award-winning French film Anatomy Of A Fall. According to IndieWire, the canine actor is capitalizing on his success with a new series called Messi: The Cannes Film Festival From A Dogs Eye View.

Messi, a.k.a. the canine George Clooney, as producer D18 Paris calls him, will host the series of eight episodes, each running one minute. According to a statement from D18 (via IndieWire), This will be an opportunity for Messi to ask his guest any questions with the innocence of a dog. When youre the current international star, you can do anything and Messi dares to do it all!
Surely, Messis team didnt mean to paraphrase Donald Trump on the infamous Access Hollywood tapes? What kind of nefarious shit will Messi be getting into over at Cannes? He already caused enough of a stir by allegedly unfairly swaying the vote in Anatomys favor by being a Very Good Boy at the Oscars Nominee Luncheon, nearly getting himself banned from the Academy Awards ceremony. He doesnt need to give the studio system any more ammunition to have him canceled and put out to pasture. Better keep him away from any cats, just in case.
All jokes aside, Messis show is a French program running on French channels (France 2, France 3, Culturebox, and TV5 Monde) from May 13 through the end of the festival, March 25. However, its sponsored by TikTok, so youll probably see it online somewhere. (You still have several months of the app before the ban goes into effect.) Tim Newman, who conceived the series, will produce for D18, while Raphal Mezrahi, who incarnated the show, will write and provide the voice of Messi. Loc Pourageaux will direct, and then of course theres Laura Martin, Messis loyal trainer.
