Miley Cyrus lands in picture controversy
Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus has landed in another picture
A
merican stand-up comedian Ray Romano, who has voiced the grouchy and moody
mammoth Manny in Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, says his character in the movie
follows his own real-life path.
The 51-year-old star, who shot to fame with sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond, re-
vealed that in the new film, Manny is facing up to the prospect of impending fatherhood and
struggling to cope with the panic just like he did when his daughter Alexandra was born in
1990.
“When you see the movie and the panic it brings to Manny, I reacted the same way with my
first kid because it becomes a reality all of a sudden. I did everything wrong in the beginning so
my wife was just telling me to get out of the way,” Romano said in a statement released on
Tuesday.
“I went to pick up my wife and baby from the hospital and I parked
in a towaway zone so we came out and the car was gone. We had to
take a cab home with a very annoyed wife and a 4-pound human in
my arms... I relate a lot to him (Manny),” he added.
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is releasing July 3 in India. Also
dubbed in Hindi, it will hit the screens in a 3D-version. ■
