Fans Are Celebrating Henry’s Hollywood Debut In The Best Way
Former Super Junior member Henry has been cast in his first Hollywood role – alongside some pretty huge names in entertainment, including Dennis Quaid and Josh Gad.
He will appear in A Dog’s Journey, which will be co-produced and directed by Stephen Spielberg‘s Amblin Studios, Walden Media and Alibaba Pictures. A sequel to 2017’s A Dog’s Purpose, both films are based on the inspirational novels by W. Bruce Cameron, which follow a single dog’s spirit as he is reincarnated through the lives of four separate canines.
Details of Henry’s role aren’t confirmed, but fans are reacting in hilarious ways on social media, celebrating Henry’s success so soon after leaving SM Entertainment and signing with The Cre8tive Lab.
