Which Hollywood star reportedly inspired the way Bugs Bunny munches on carrots?
Cary Grant
James Stewart
Clark Gable
Humphrey Bogart
Fact: Bugs Bunny’s signature carrot chomping reportedly traces back to Clark Gable’s performance in the 1934 comedy It Happened One Night. In one scene, Gable’s character, Peter Warne, leans against a fence and casually munches on a carrot as he talks to Claudette Colbert’s character. Warner Bros. animator Bob Clampett later cited the scene as the inspiration for Bugs’s carrot-chewing style. While 1940s moviegoers instantly recognized the spoof of the film, the reference faded over time, leaving the habit as Bugs’s own iconic trait.
Correct Answer: Clark Gable
