We're Hangin' With..... BUGS BUNNY......really! by: Lynn B.
Bugs: Naaaaa, what's up doc? AGW: Hi Bugs. Do you enjoy working with people? Bugs: Sure. I like workin' with people. I like workin' with animals like Daffy. I like workin' with everybody. AGW: What was it like to do all those stunts in the movie and did you need a stunt double? Bugs: Every now and again, I'd dress Daffy in a ratty rabbit suit and he would do my stunts for me. So if there was anything violent that happened, it would happen to Daffy. It's in his contract you know. AGW: What did you think of Brendan and Jenna? Bugs: Well, Brendan Fraser, he was great. He's your typical hunk, you know. People were swooning in the aisles, smelling salts, that kind of stuff. I wouldn't mind his fizz-e-que [he means physique] either. And Jenna Elfman. She was great. Quite a pro and not too bad on the eyes either. AGW: Some execs at Warner Brothers seem to think that your co-star Daffy's fans are just angry fat guys in basements. I wondered if you agree with that. Bugs: I don't get into the research, okay? That's a completely different department. That's their bailiwick. As far as I'm concerned, Daffy has been popular for low these many years. As far as I'm concerned he and I are a team. He makes me look good. AGW: Daffy is saying he's the star of all the newly-released DVD's of your work that are coming out. How do you feel about that? Bugs: Daffy says he's the star of everything. He says he's the star of supermarket openings. Daffy says he's the star of cutting the ribbon in front of the gas station. AGW: Daffy accuses you of being a diva. Is that true and were you worried that Steve Martin might be funnier than you? Bugs: I try and conduct myself in a very professional manner. I take the crew to lunch. We play ping pong and all that stuff. I don't know where the diva thing started but maybe it's the tabloids. You shouldn't read that stuff. As far as Steve Martin goes, he's almost like a human cartoon anyway. So the more the merrier or the more the loonier as far as I'm concerned. AGW: What was the biggest challenge working with live actors? Bugs: The biggest challenge was getting them to learn how to take an anvil on the head. It's kind of tough but eventually, they got around to it. AGW: We never see bugs get romance. Are you looking forward to a role like that? Bugs: Ehhhh, well let's just say that what goes on, on screen isn't necessarily what goes on off-screen if you know what I mean. One of the perks of this kind of a movie is we get to interact with our live-action co-stars. AGW: How did you get into shape for this film? Bugs: I have a trainer. We go jogging. I would like to deny the rumors that I've had any tucks done or any work. It's all me. 100 percent me. AGW: What do you attribute your longevity in the business to and any tips to people who want to have a long career? Bugs: I just stay who I am and people keep re-discovering me. It seems to work. That and lots of carrots keep me young. AGW: What do you do for fun? Bugs: I play golf once in a while. I do good woiks [ha..works], I climb mountains. The usual stuff. I got a home in Aspen. Let me correct that. I've got a hole in Aspen. AGW: Do you hang out with the in-crowd in Hollywood or keep to yourself? Bugs: Well, you know, I've been invited to those things. Every now and then it becomes a little ho hum, I'm at a party. I'm out in the evening with Britney Spears and Madonna. Every now and again I make an appearance just to show I'm still involved but I tend to keep to myself going over my collection of old news clippings and watching DVD's and ordering new kinds of explosives. AGW: I wonder if you have seen your cartoons dubbed in Spanish and what do you think of that? Bugs: I think they're pretty good in Spanish. I think the humor is pretty universal. Don't you? AGW: Do you think of yourself as an example for kids. Bugs: I don't want kids to go and give people a hot foot but I don't go bother people until they bother me. I think that's a pretty good example for the kids. I don't go out to heckle anybody or be malicious. I just wait until they try to disrupt my way of life and then fight back. AGW: What do you think of Sponge Bob Square Pants and could you take him in a fight? Bugs: I don't have anything against any other characters. I know that he's very, very popular these days. I haven't seen his program myself you know. But, from what I'm told, yeah, I could probably lick the little twerp! AGW: You seem to travel a lot. Where is your fave vacation destination? Bugs: Anywhere there's carrots. AGW: If Warner Brothers made a movie of your life, who would you like to play Bugs? Bugs: The studio has approached me once in a while. There have been a couple of names thrown around like DeNiro and Jack Nicholson and maybe Sam Rockwell, Russell Crowe. I don't mind. When they do one of those bio-pics you've got to expect it's not going to be 100 percent accurate anyway. AGW: Were you threatened by Roger Rabbit's fame a few years back? Bugs: I'm not threatened by Roger Rabbit. He and I are buds. I taught him everything he knows. How to take a frying pan to the head. How to slip on a banana peel, how to get flattened and pump back up but we used to do all that shtick together all the time. I don't have anything against Roger. He's a nice guy. That voice is a little grating on the ears though. AGW: If you could go back and give young Bugs advice, what would you tell him. Bugs: I would say resilience, as in willing to spring back once flattened. That's kept me going for sixty years or so. AGW: You've found the fountain of youth. What is the biggest kick of never dying? Bugs:
That's the great thing about being a movie actor. This stuff lasts for
years and years and years and you're always young. If you want to stay
young, get in the movies, lady.

He's
gray and white, has really long ears and is over 60 years old but doesn't
look a day over…well, adult bunny age.You might have seen him as
a baby in the Baby Looney Tunes t.v. shows! Bugs Bunny has been delighting
kids and adults alike all over the world in Warner Brothers cartoon shorts,
feature films like Space Jam and t.v. specials since waaaay before
agirlsworld.com girls were born. But, he's just as funny as ever in his
brand new feature film Looney Tunes: Back in Action with human
co-stars Jenna Elfman, Brendan Fraser and funnyguy Steve Martin. We chatted
with Bugs on the phone and he told us about his long-time love/hate partnership
with Daffy Duck, his relationship with humans and hummmm, a possible off
screen romance??? You have to imagine Bugs' funny voice when he answers....
