Messi, the Palm Dog award-winning canine actor who starred in Anatomy of a Fall, is set to star in his own reality TV show next month. Titled Messi: The Cannes Film Festival from a Dog’s Eye View, it will be a series of eight one-minute episodes broadcast on French TV channels and TikTok.
According to a translation of the French press release from D18 Paris, “It is through the eyes of Messi (the canine George Clooney) and the voice of Raphaël Mezrahi, that we will discover the Cannes Film Festival from dawn to the end of the night… It will be an opportunity for Messi to ask all the questions he wants to his guest with the innocence of a dog. When you’re THE international star of the moment, you can get away with anything… and Messi dares everything!”
You can bet Messi will be a hit with all the human celebrities on the Red Carpet at Cannes next month. He already made a huge impression while at the Oscars luncheon, where celebs like Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper, and Emma Stone were delighted to meet Messi.
The year Best Supporting Actors go head to head.

Then, after rumors Messi wasn’t invited (and then wouldn’t make it) to the Academy Awards, his surprise appearance quickly went viral and was the highlight of the show.
