Veteran English actor Rowan Atkinson had lent his voice to Zazu in “The Lion King“. Says he was proud to have been a part of the 1994 animated movie.
“I was so proud really in the end to be part of this movie because I didn’t want to do it actually because voiceovers are generally…voice work is something that I’ve never done and I never liked it because I feel as though I am a visual artiste if I am in anything… and it seemed to be a pointless thing to do the film,” he said.
“But the co-writer of ‘Mr. Bean’ series Robin Driscoll said ‘I’ve been offered this movie called ‘The Lion King’ and I really can’t be bothered to do it’. He said ‘Well come on! It’s Disney, you might as well!’ and then I didn’t realise it would turn into the really very special film, which it did,” added Atkinson.
