Holly Middleton’s beloved pet, Peggy, has gone from being crowned Britain’s “ugliest” dog to starring alongside Hollywood heavyweights Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in the latest Marvel superhero film, Deadpool & Wolverine. Peggy, a five-year-old pugese, has captured the hearts of fans around the world with her unexpected rise to fame.
Owner Holly Middleton, from East Yorkshire, described Peggy’s journey as “surreal” and beyond anything she could have imagined. Peggy’s success began when she won the title of the ugliest pooch in a national contest last year, leading to her big break in the film industry.
Despite Peggy’s newfound fame, Mrs. Middleton emphasized that Peggy remains a beloved family pet first and foremost. Peggy’s return home to Hull for a cinema appearance was met with excitement from fans, but Mrs. Middleton assured that Peggy was not displaying any diva behavior.
Watching Peggy make her debut at a premiere in New York and being held by Hollywood stars was a surreal experience for Mrs. Middleton. She expressed her joy at seeing Peggy comfortable and happy in the spotlight, surrounded by adoring fans and celebrities.
While there are no current plans for future film roles, Peggy is content with her life at home, enjoying cuddles on the couch and snuggling in her bed. Despite her global recognition, Mrs. Middleton emphasized that Peggy is just like any other dog in the village, albeit one who loves attention and has captured the hearts of many.
