The 10 most interesting facts about Bugs Bunny! (List)

July 28, 2015 By Rania Strataki Leave a Comment

Bugs Bunny is now 75 years old, and to honour him we made a list with the 10 most interesting facts about this Looney Tunes’ character according to zimbio.com.

  1. Bugs Bunny is a rabbit, not a hare.
  2. Mel Blanc actually ate carrots while voicing the iconic character.
  3. Bugs Bunny was originally “Happy Rabbit”. He also used to be white instead of gray and they alternated between giving him huge buck teeth and no teeth at all.
  4. Bugs Bunny, along with Mickey Mouse, were the first two animals to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
  5. Bugs Bunny is a U.S. Marine. At the end of the 1943 short Super-Rabbit, Bugs wears a USMC blue uniform. As a result, they made Bugs an honorary private of the corps. Throughout WWII, Bugs continued to be promoted in rank until he retired as a Master Sergeant.
  6. Bugs’ name came from his animator. In 1938, Ben “Bugs” Hardaway was redesigning a new rabbit character. A fellow employee casually referred to the drawing as “Bug’s Bunny” (which was written above the illustration) and the name stuck ever since.
  7. Bugs Bunny was the first cartoon character to ever appear on a stamp.
  8. Bugs Bunny’s carrot-chewing stance came from ‘It Happened One Night. There is a scene with Clark Gable leaning against a fence and eating carrots while talking with his mouth full.
  9. Charlie Chaplin inspired Bugs Bunny’s personality.
  10. As of Jan. 2013, he has appeared in more films than any other cartoon character. More than 175 films, to be exact.
