The best part of the 2024 Oscars right now is 100% Messi the Border Collie!
Messi had a supporting role in the movie ‘Anatomy of a Fall’, a French drama, and is the goodest boy ever at the Oscars.
This 7-year-old dog actor has some stunning blue eyes and seems to be enjoying himself and all the attention.
People were a bit shocked online since there was a rumor that Messi wasn’t going to be able to attend… well, surprise surprise!
The big moment was with Billie Eilish, who bonded with Messi for almost 10 minutes. They were hugging and petting and they really had a vibe. Then Bradley Cooper bumped into him in the hallway. The dog went right to him, so they also had a connection.
Messi’s trainer (and owner) Laura Martin told The Hollywood Reporter.
A lot of work goes into training a dog as an actor! Messi’s trainer spent two months just training one part of a scene for the movie.
Thankfully Border Collies are one of the smartest dog breeds there are!
‘Anatomy of a Fall’ did win the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay! Who wants to see more animal actors attend the Oscars?
