Now, a rare long interview with Mr. Paddington, Ben Whishaw, who has voiced Paddington for three films, has arrived! Why is Paddington loved by all generations? He also reveals why Paddington is loved by all generations, and how he created the amazing role of Paddington by "turning into a bear".

This is the third film in the series after a seven-year absence. The film will take place in Peru, and will offer an unprecedented adventure and reveal Paddington's unknown roots.I found the script to be really great. In this film Paddington has a firm and clear purpose. Of course, as in the first two films, Paddington is in more and more danger in this one. It was very exciting and fun, and very touching."Whishaw was the first to praise the quality of the film. Paddington has lost all his "wild instincts" after living in London for so long. What adventures await Paddington in the jungle back home? And what decision will Paddington make when he discovers his roots? Expectations are high for the adventures and excitement that have earned Paddington the highest audience rating in the series. Whishaw's soft and gentle voice is a surprisingly good match for Paddington. What did he have to say about his thorough preparation for the role?'Strange things happen during the unusual process. As I perform using my body as well as my voice, I lose sight of the people around me. But by doing so, I can concentrate on my performance. I imagine the bear's movements, and think about the fine shifts of weight. It's a very complex process.He told us the story behind the recording of the film, saying, "He's almost like a bear. Paddington's confusion and surprise, and even the faint sound of his breathing, are all played by Whishaw, making Paddington feel very real to the audience.
Finally, why Paddington is loved by all generations.Paddington is full of joy, positivity and kindness. That's the spirit that's in this series. We appreciate our differences and have compassion and respect for each other. The joys and pleasures of life. I think it's a very worthwhile piece."and his passionate love for Paddington and the profound message the work conveys.
