Nobby, a prize-winning ram from Norfolk, has become an unlikely Hollywood star after landing a role in the animated film The Sheep Detectives. The film, set to be released soon, is an adaptation of a popular children's book series and features the voice talents of Hugh Jackman. Nobby's owners, farmer Chris Hill, and his family were surprised to learn that their prize-winning ram had been chosen for the role, but they are thrilled with the opportunity.
The Sheep Detectives is an animated film that follows the adventures of two sheep, Reggie and Ronnie, who become detectives. Nobby's owners have revealed that the film's producers were looking for a particular type of sheep, with a distinct colour and personality, and Nobby's unique appearance made him the perfect fit for the role. The film's director, Alex Williams, has praised Nobby's on-screen presence, saying he was 'a natural in front of the camera'. The Sheep Detectives will premiere in Los Angeles, and Nobby will be in attendance, where he will meet Hugh Jackman and other cast members. The event is set to be a major highlight of the film's promotional tour.
