We did not see this coming.
Is there anything Pippa O’Connor can’t do? The mum of two recently launched her brand new Pippa Collection, picked up an award at the Business Woman of the Year Awards and opened a second pop-up store in Dublin.
And now it appears she’s added another impressive achievement to the list – she is set to star in a Hollywood movie. Pippa told Irish Country Magazine that she was approached about a speaking role in an upcoming animated movie and jumped at the opportunity.
She flew to London to record her lines. The movie, called Ferdinand, stars David Tennant, Bobby Cannavale, John Cena and Kate McKinnon, and hits cinema on December 16th.
The story is about a friendly bull who doesn’t want to take part in fights after being captured and taken away from his home.
Speaking about the role, Pippa said:
“They contacted me and they were like, would you like to have a speaking part in a movie?
And I was like, ‘yes!’, I’ve been telling my sister and my husband and they were like, ‘oh my God.’ So it was really fun to go London and stand in a very fancy booth and do my lines. Really, anything is possible.”
