Does Mike Myers Have Any Pets?

Mr. Bigglesworth (Ted Nude-Gent) (Cat)

Breed: Sphynx

Mike Myers hasn’t revealed or discussed any pets he might have publicly, but he has one famous fictional cat from his Austin Powers films. Playing his own nemesis Dr. Evil, he had a cat named Mr. Bigglesworth. While the cat in the film was introduced as a fluffy white Persian cat, Mr. Bigglesworth loses all his fur after Dr. Evil and he are unfrozen from a cryogenic chamber. The hairless Sphynx cat that appears in the rest of the film’s real name is Ted Nude-Gent, a play on the name of rock musician Ted Nugent. Ted had no previous acting experience but had several months of training to be able to sit and relax with Dr. Evil as he ranted about his diabolical plans and screams at his henchmen. With Austin Powers a huge blockbuster film at the time, Mr. Bigglesworth also gained worldwide fame and had his own line of merch made, including hats, t-shirts, and plush toys.
