Jimmy Kimmel revealed that behind Messi’s well-behaved moments at the actual Academy Awards, he wouldn’t stop barking during rehearsal.

Messi the dog attends the Film Independent Live Read of Justine Triet's "Anatomy Of A Fall" on February 14, 2024 in Beverly Hills, California.

The Best Picture nominated "Anatomy of a Fall" star, Messi the dog, will not be attending the Oscars, according to reports.

This is just the tip of the iceberg for Messi, who is a controversial dog actor (all the best ones are).
