Shawn Mendes voices Lyle, in the film Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile<\/a>. A film based on the children’s book, about a crocodile living in New York City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the Primm family (Wu, Scoot McNairy, Winslow Fegley) moves to New York City, their young son Josh struggles to adapt to his new school and new friends. All of that changes when he discovers Lyle \u2013 a singing crocodile (Mendes) who loves baths, caviar and great music \u2013 living in the attic of his new home. The two become fast friends, but when Lyle\u2019s existence is threatened by evil neighbor Mr. Grumps (Brett Gelman), the Primms must band together with Lyle\u2019s charismatic owner, Hector P. Valenti (Bardem), to show the world that family can come from the most unexpected places and there\u2019s nothing wrong with a big singing crocodile with an even bigger personality.<\/p>\n\n\n

Who do you voice in the film and what makes him so unique?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHAWN MENDES: I voice Lyle. I think the film is interesting because where maybe you have main characters striving to be something that is like chasing the glory, Lyle is just wanting to have a family, feel at home and feel connected to people, which is a very beautiful concept for me. And I think that\u2019s what makes him so lovable and just so relatable. Because I think he\u2019s like, yeah, the spotlight is beautiful and it\u2019s cool, but it\u2019s really love that\u2019s the reason that I sing. When I feel comfortable, when I feel accepted, is when I want to sing and I think it\u2019s a genius and universal feeling. So I just think I relate to him a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
