Bugs Bunny has been one of the most iconic cartoon characters in the world for nearly 100 years since his creation. The beloved Looney Tunes star, known for his catchphrase "Eh... What's up, doc?", has entertained generations with his wit and charm. But did you know that Bugs Bunny has also served as an acting coach? Well, at least for one particular Academy Award-winning actor, he has.
Recently, while speaking to actor Ben Stiller on the Severance Podcast show, 82-year-old veteran actor Christopher Walken revealed that Bugs Bunny is one of his favorite actors. He told Stiller, "A lot of times I’ve played roles as if I was Bugs Bunny... but nobody knew." The revelation has left the internet completely surprised, as no one expected Walken to have such an unconventional acting hero.
Hilarious Internet Reactions
Internet users were left in stitches upon hearing that Bugs Bunny was Christopher Walken's favorite actor, and wasted no time taking to social media to share their hilarious reactions.
"What does this even mean and why does it make him seem so much more iconic????" a user wondered.
Walken's admission of his favorite actor has certainly surprised his fans, but some of them like this user here weirdly get it, given the actor's sometimes unconventional acting choices in the past.
"Oh we know, we were just letting you cook," said another.
Looks like some fans already knew that Christopher Walken was channeling his inner Bugs Bunny in some of his roles, but didn’t want to tell him and risk giving away his process behind those memorable performances.

"Ehhh... whats. UP? (long pause) Doc!" a user wrote.
