Jimmy Kimmel Says Messi the Dog Left Oscars Early Because He Kept Barking | Video

The star animal of “Anatomy of a Fall” was a fan-favorite at Sunday’s ceremony

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

The host took viewers behind the scenes of his fourth Oscars hosting gig during Monday’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

“Our plan was to have [Messi] sitting in the audience throughout the show, including my monologue,” Kimmel said. “But then it turns out, we did a rehearsal, the dog was barking like crazy the whole time because he’s a dog, which was making it hard to tell jokes.”

One rehearsal moment that had to be taped from the rehearsal involved someone holding fake dog arms with paws to “clap” for Messi.
