He’s the furry feline lapping up superstardom, bringing a whole new meaning to the word “catwalk” as he conquers the showbiz world.
Meet Felix the acting cat, whose CV already includes appearing as one of Freddie Mercury’s pets in Bohemian Rhapsody, scampering around on Ed Sheeran’s Drunk music video and living up to his name in a Felix cat food advert.
And now Felix has taken on a role that really is the cat’s whiskers, starring alongside Benedict Cumberbatch and Claire Foy on the big screen in The Electrical Life of Louis Wain.
“You can definitely see Felix’s big personality on the film,” Benedict tells HELLO! of working with the adorable cat, who steals the show as Peter, the beloved pet of Louis Wain – the eccentric artist credited with popularising cats in the 19th century through his whimsical paintings.
