I love animated films, I’m a huge fan and always, always wanted to be the voice of a character. When I heard it was a giraffe, I was very excited.
The giraffes crave. They are the coolest animals. This is the obvious overall message of the film.
The comedic talent of a Hollywood actor should be more appreciated, don’t you think?
David Schwimmer is also a director and producer. After his role in Friends, he tried to do other endeavors and wanted to get away from the label that stuck to him, but so far he seems to have failed. Well, that’s all ahead of him.
When it comes to private life, he was in a couple with Natalie Imbruglia for some time. In 2007, he married artist Zoë Buckman, with whom he has a daughter. They divorced after ten years.
We wish him more giraffes in his life as well as other good movies.
