Lilly Singh agrees that The Bad Guys’ Mr. Wolf is kinda hot

With The Bad Guys out in theaters, we can finally say what many on the internet are thinking: Yes, Mr. Wolf is hot. The charismatic thief leads a band of criminals made up of dangerous animals, and there’s something about his swagger that falls in line with other animated canine crushes like Zootopia’s Nick Wilde and Disney’s foxy outlaw leader Robin Hood. Luckily, comedian and YouTuber Lilly Singh agrees with this.

“Mr. Wolf is kind of a Daddy, I see that now,” Singh told Polygon. “I’ve never thought about that. But would I slide in the DMs? I think I would? I think I would. So I do think Mr. Wolf is kind of hot. I do think that animals have the swag of, like, someone I would think is fly. So yes, I see all of that. I’m not mad at the internet for this one.”

And as someone intimately familiar with the inner workings of internet fandom, Singh’s feelings about ever-shifting online tastes have years of experience to back them up. Singh, who voices reporter Tiffany Fluffit in The Bad Guys (one of the few humans in the cast of mostly animals), got her start on YouTube in 2010, creating parody sketches and comedic skits. In 2016, she was third on Forbes’ list of the highest-paid YouTubers. Her career took off from there, and she headlined an NBC talk show from 2019 to 2021.

The Bad Guys isn’t Singh’s first film or voice-over role — previously, she voiced some tiny unicorns in Ice Age: Collision Course and a deer in Sky Cinema’s Riverdance: The Animated Adventure. But she’s still getting used to the stark contrast between making content for the internet and doing voice-over work for a movie. For one thing, she says it’s fun to see all the separate pieces she does for a project come together in someone else’s finished work,
