‘Artist’ Dog Star Has Mysterious Illness
Uggie, who’s soared to fame as Jean Dujardin’s canine co-star in the Oscar-nominated film “The Artist,” is suffering from an unknown illness. Omar Von Muller, told the British newspaper The Daily Mail that the Jack Russell’s Uggie suffers from a “mysterious shaking syndrome.” He said that “it is a neurological disorder and we’ve spent thousands on vets’ bills trying to figure out what is causing it but the experts don’t really know.” Muller said Uggie’s problems started prior to November 2010, when production began on “The Artist,” for which Uggie is nominated for one of two Golden Collar awards in addition to his performance opposite Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson in “Water for Elephants.” Muller’s co-trainer Sarah Clifford recently said Uggie, who’s 10 years old, would retire from his film career this year. Uggie – whose brother, Dash, is expected to step in his paws – will reportedly open the Oscars telecast on February 26th alongside host Billy Crystal.
