Suri Cruise is set to voice German polar bear Knut in an animated film of
his life.
The 20-month-old, the daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, is wanted to
provide the voice of the animal - who became a national icon in Germany
after he was rejected by his mother at Berlin Zoo - in the adaptation,
according to producer Ash R. Shah.

Shah, who works for The Animation Picture Company, said: "With his friendly
character, Knut serves as an ambassador for the Earth's problems - climate
change and the melting polar ice caps. A movie about Knut would affect
people all over the world.
"I see the heart warming relationship between Knut and his caretaker, Thomas
Doerflein at the centre of the movie. I want Suri Cruise to be the English
voice of Knut."
Shah has offered the zoo $5 million for the rights to Knut's touching story.
Heiner Klos, curator of Berlin Zoo, said: "I can confirm that we received
the offer and that we are giving it due consideration. When we have come to
a decision, then we will handle the matter discreetly."
Suri isn't the only celebrity child to have started her acting career early.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's daughter Shiloh Jolie-Pitt was cast as the
daughter of Brad's character in his film 'The Curious Case of Benjamin
Button' when she was just ten months old.
