Smeagol the cat is getting his red carpet moment!

The feline actor posed with his human co-star Tom Hanks at the screening of A Man Called Otto held at Dot Dash Meredith on Monday night (January 9) in New York City.

Smeagol (which rhymes with bagel) stars as Tom‘s character’s companion in the big screen movie.

“We had 8 weeks of preparation once we received the script and saw some of the actions that they required to prep him and train him to do those actions,” Smeagol‘s trainer Brittany Long shared in a recent interview. “The hardest thing about that was a lot of it was outside and during very very cold months of the year.”

Tom and Smeagol were joined at the screening by their co-stars, Rita Wilson, Mariana Trevino, Alessandra Perez, Rachel Keller, Christiana Montoya, Truman Hanks, Kelly Lamor Wilson, Mack Bayda and director Marc Forster.

A Man Called Otto will be out in theaters on Friday, January 13.
