This is a false news.

I'm Japanse, and the actress mentioned above is confused why such a funny false news spreaded through the world.

I don't know how true or not it is. I just clipped it.

Also, this isn't a slight against japanese ppl in general, just a few silly people.

I have learnt that sheep are rare in Japan, and so the confusion is more understandable.

If i'm totally wrong and you can provide proof, I'd be happy to delete the clip.

This is the actual homepage of the actress clearly stating it is a false news.

I'm not accusing you for clipping. I just wanted to let you know the truth.

I mean no Japanese would think of sheep as a poodle.

I can't read japanese. Sorry!

But I'll compromise and add something in the description.
