Martin Freeman Cast as First-Ever Voice of Gromit for New Audiobook

Martin Freeman reads Gromit’s inner thoughts in the first audiobook for the mute claymation dog, with the release set for later this month.

  • Bafta-Winning actor Martin Freeman will voice the silent canine in the audiobook edition of Gromit's memoir, marking the first time the claymation dog will speak in his 37-year history.
  • Creator Nick Park faced a creative conundrum when his publisher requested an audiobook for 'Grand: The Autobiography of Gromit,' since the character has famously never uttered a word since debuting in 1989.
  • Scheduled for release on October 22, the memoir promises 'the tale of what goes on behind eyes,' featuring his inner thoughts, candid insights, and endless witticisms.
  • Park clarified that Freeman is not performing a Gromit 'voice' as such but reading the dog's inner thoughts; the actor is best known for roles in 'Sherlock' and 'The Hobbit.'
  • An immersive exhibit titled 'Larger Than Life' opens on October 14 at the Lightroom in King's Cross, London, sharing behind-the-scenes moments projected across four 11-metre walls.
