Piper Perabo Fan

Piper Perabo “had reservations” about starring in talking animals movie ‘Beverly Hills Chihuahua’.

The actress – who previously starred in ‘Coyote Ugly’ and ‘The Prestige’ – was unsure whether appearing in a movie with dogs who can speak would harm her career.

She said: “I do think there’s a concern. You know, if you haven’t seen how the animation’s going to look – obviously, I’ve done other animated films, and I know that it can be tricky.

“So until I saw the final film, even, I had reservations about that. You don’t really know until you see – hopefully Disney knows what they’re doing, though, do you know what I mean?”

Piper also revealed the reason she finally agreed to do the film was because she has always been a huge fan of Disney films.

She added: “When I was a kid, ‘Mary Poppins’, ‘Bedknobs and Broomsticks’ and ‘Lady and the Tramp’ were all films that were really important to me. And – even before I knew I wanted to be an actor, I really enjoyed these films. So as a grown-up, to sort of get an opportunity to be in one, it seemed sort of fitting!”
