Ben Stiller has become one of the surprise big fans of the dolphin documentary The Cove. The 44-year-old actor has seen the movie three times and even appeared on Larry King Live late last year to promote it. All this because he was just “blown away” by the subject matter.
“There are very few movies where you feel like telling people, ‘You have to see this movie,’” he told PopCornBiz.
Stiller also believes that an Oscar win for The Cove, which is nominated for Best Documentary, would raise the awareness level further. “If the movie wins, it will make a huge difference,” he said. “I’m pulling for it for sure.”
Well…Mr Stiller…the doc just deservedly won that Oscar! I too am a big fan of that movie and this will bring more awareness for sure.
