Bing the Great Dane Stars in 'The Friend' with Naomi Watts, Bill Murray
Bing, a 150-pound Great Dane, is making his film debut in 'The Friend,' starring alongside Naomi Watts and Bill Murray. Owner and trainer Bev Klingensmith initially thought the casting opportunity was a scam but soon found Bing thriving on set, showcasing his training and calm demeanor despite the bustling environment of New York City. Watts praised Bing as her 'most cooperative co-star,' highlighting his responsiveness and sensitivity during filming. The film, based on Sigrid Nunez’s novel, explores the bond between Bing's character Apollo and Watts’ character Iris during challenging circumstances. Klingensmith revealed that while Bing was already well-trained, he had to learn a few specific tricks for the role, including scratching at doors and carrying items, which took extra work. As the film gears up for its theatrical release, Bing's performance is anticipated to be a standout element of the story.
