The stars who had to train animals on the set
Sometimes this joint work grew into the strongest friendship, which did not end even after filming. And sometimes it was the other way around – they took four-legged friends with them to the set.
So, in the melodrama “Tiger Tamer” Lyudmila Kasatkina was replaced by a real tamer Margarita Nazarova. During rehearsals and filming, Nazarova prepared a solo number, which is shown in the finale of the film, and with which the trainer then continued to perform in the circus. The Bengal tiger Pursh became her favorite: she drove him in the car, drove him on a leash and even took him to the Astoria restaurant to celebrate the New Year. And six years later, she starred with her tigers in the lead role in the comedy “Striped Flight”.
Bulldog Bambula, who played the dog Tory in “The Treasures of Agra”, belonged to Sherlock Holmes himself – an actor Vasily Livanov.
У Sergey Bezrukov Polly, a French bulldog, lives at home. The dog has a good-natured disposition, high intelligence and very artistic. The actor’s pet is not only a devoted friend of the family, but also managed to star in several films with the actor.
And here are some foreign celebrities and their pets who could not bear the breakup.
Sophie Turner and Zunni from Game of Thrones
A northern Inuit dog named Zunni played the so-called terrible she-wolf Lady in the series, but died according to the script in the second episode of the series. So Zunni was left without work and without a home, but Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark) decided to take her to her, as they became friends during filming. Sophie explains that since childhood she dreamed of a dog, but her parents did not allow her.
James Gunn and Oreo from Guardians of the Galaxy
The director of “Guardians of the Galaxy” James Gunn became a good friend of the Oreo raccoon, who was the living prototype of the Rocket Raccoon. Gunn and Oreo even walked the red carpet together on the day of the film’s premiere, writes .
Tom Hardy and Rocco from the drama Obshchak
Tom Hardy is a big dog lover. This, incidentally, is the main reason why he decided to try for a role in Obshchak (2014), where the main character rescues an abandoned puppy. After the release of the film, Tom took Rocco to him and, judging by the pictures of the paparazzi, does not go anywhere without him. Rocco is also a frequent guest on the actor’s Instagram page.
Ed O’Neill and Bridgett from American Family
When Ed O’Neill’s character appears in the series, a French bulldog named Stella, he immediately falls in love with her. The same thing happened in real life. During filming, Ed looked after the dog, whose real name is Bridgette, like his own father. She was born on the street and was abandoned by her host family. She was very lucky when she was rescued by agents for the selection of animals for the movie, and after filming “American Family” she found her home forever.
Chris Evans and Dodger from the drama “Gifted”
Avengers star Chris Evans met his partner Dodger while filming the movie in 2017. He and the Half-Blood Boxer became best friends and have been inseparable ever since. Today, Dodger is no longer a puppy, but he still regularly appears on Twitter of his adored owner.
Brendan Fraser and Pekas from Texas Uprising
During the filming of Texas Uprising, several horses chased one horse named Pekas. Brendan noticed this and brought Pekas to his home. Later, the actor said that the horse had a special bond with his son, who was diagnosed with autism.
