Will Smith Says His ‘I Am Legend’ Dog Co-Star Was “A Brilliant Actress” And He Even Tried To Adopt Her
Although some advise against working with animals, Will Smith is fondly remembering his time with man's best co-star.
The Academy Award winner reminisced about his canine scene partner Abbey from the 2007 movie I Am Legend being “a brilliant actress” as he admitted to trying to adopt the German Shepherd, who was known for upstaging him in the blockbuster. Loosely based on the 1954 novel by Richard Matheson, Smith starred in I Am Legend as US Army virologist Robert Neville, who’s the last living human in New York, which has been overrun by nocturnal mutants. In April, Smith paid tribute to Abbey for National Pet Day with a video montage of the duo set to an emotional song.
