Critics' Circle Awards: 'The Artist' Star Jean Dujardin Talks Unlikely Friendship With Uggie The Dog (VIDEO)

'The Artist' Star Praises His Unlikely Friend

Silent film The Artist picked up another three prizes at the London Film Critics' Circle Awards last night, and its leading man Jean Dujardin was there to answer everyone's burning questions about his canine companion Uggie the dog.

French Dujardin took the Actor Of The Year prize at the ceremony held on London's Southbank, but pointed out couldn't have done it without his Jack Russell friend.

He said: "There is no competition with me and Uggie... he's my shadow and my friend." But Dijardin admitted he hasn't always been a pooch lover and seemed surprised at how much he'd grown to like him.
