Guess what? Awkwafina, the Golden Globe winner and American actress, is a huge fan of British pigeons! Yes, I know, it may be surprising, but it's true. Nora Lum, her real name, revealed in a recent press interview that she finds these birds on British soil to be more polite compared to their American counterparts. Who would have thought, right?
Awkwafina's love for British pigeons was brought up during the promotion of her new animated movie, Migration, where she voices the character of Chump, the leader of a New York City pigeon clan. When asked about her preparation for the role, the 35-year-old Hollywood star shared that she relates to Chump because they both have big personalities, despite being physically small. "And she's a real New Yorker. So, I feel like that's definitely something I identify with," she told Sky News.
But where did Awkwafina's interest in pigeons stem from? Well, according to her, it's from growing up in New York City where she constantly had close encounters with these birds, almost ending up with one flying into her mouth. Talk about a dramatic study on pigeons, right?
Now, let's get back to the topic of British pigeons being more polite. When asked about her interactions with them, Awkwafina had some interesting observations. "I've had some interactions. I feel like they're more polite. They still walk fast, but not that fast, you know what I mean?" Yes, we definitely know what you mean, Awkwafina. Her co-star, Keegan Michael-Key, even chimed in, saying that British pigeons "get out of the way quicker." Looks like they all agree!
In case you're wondering, Migration tells the story of a family of ducks who decide to leave their safe pond in New England for an adventure in Jamaica. However, things don't go as planned and they end up getting lost in New York City. Along the way, they make new friends and learn to accomplish more than they ever thought possible. The star-studded cast also includes voices from David Mitchell, Elizabeth Banks, Caspar Jennings, and the legendary Danny DeVito.
It's clear that the press run for the movie has taken a toll on Awkwafina, as she even joked about her "pigeon ramblings." But she's not the only American star to make quirky comments about us Brits. Recently, Sarah Jessica Parker, the star of Sex and the City, revealed her obsession with the London Underground. She even wants to be "completely conversant" with the Tube and has been studying the map of the London transport system, including the Jubilee, Piccadilly, and Northern lines. She even mentioned the lesser-known Edgware and High Hill stations, showing her dedication to learning about the Tube.
Looks like polite pigeons and great public transport are getting some love from our American friends. Who knows, maybe we'll start seeing more tourists coming to London just to experience our Tube system and interact with our well-mannered pigeons.
