Headline: Steve Coogan felt like he was being 'heckled' by animal co-star in The Penguin Lessons
Caption: In the upcoming comedy-drama, the British actor plays Tom Michell, a disillusioned teacher who worked at an Argentinian school in the 1970s. Michell's life was transformed when he rescued a penguin from an oil slick and reluctantly took it back to the school as his pet. During an interview with Cover Media, Coogan admitted working with a penguin required patience, because it often didn't do what was needed for a scene, or it would spontaneously poop during a take and he'd have to improvise.
