Okay, so Rose Byrne’s precious pet isn’t exactly a dog. However, we think her family’s beloved bearded dragon is worth mentioning. While speaking to People shortly after she got her Oscar nomination for If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, " Byrne shared that her kids, whom she shares with her partner, Bobby Cannavale, adore their new not-so-furry friend.
“He’s so sweet. He’s so sweet. We’re all smitten. The kids are happy, such a sweetie,” said the actress.

Wagner Moura
Wagner Moura, who is nominated for The Secret Agent, revealed that he’s a “dog guy” and has an eight-year-old canine companion in a recent interview with NPR. He also shared that his family got a cat about a year ago, which took him some getting used to. He clarified that he now appreciates the cat, especially after he realized how therapeutic cuddling a purring kitty can be.
Timothée Chalamet
While Timothée Chalamet may not be a fan of ballet or opera, he does like furry friends. If you know anything about Chalamet, you know that he’s been in a serious relationship with reality television personality Kylie Jenner. Now, Jenner is a big fan of dogs, owning several Italian Greyhounds and Dachshunds throughout the years. While Chalamet may consider Jenner’s many pups his step-dogs, it’s unclear if he actually owns any pups himself. The actor has never proclaimed himself to be a dog-dad. However, in December 2025, he shared two seriously adorable pictures that showed him cuddling a super sweet puppy.
