Minions & Monstersdirector Pierre Coffin has confirmed that he did notreference adult content creator Bonnie Blue in a promo clip for the new film
The clip in question comes from a soccer-themed scene where one of the gibberish-speaking yellow characters that Coffin also voices mentions Dua Lipa, Sabrina Carpenter, and what sounds like Bonnie
For context, Bonnie Blue is a popular OnlyFans creator who posts the kind of content parents wouldn’t want referenced in a Minionsfilm. Because viewers swore Coffin said the name, the seemingly adult reference helped the clip go viral
In an interview with The Movie Dweeb,Coffink clarified that he was not talking about Bonnie. In fact, he had no clue who she was when he was accused of mentioning her
“Apparently, I’m saying this other person’s name,” he said. “I’m bringing it up because I said, ‘Am I saying that?’ So I went back to them because I didn’t know that person.”
Coffin revealed that he went back to the recordings to listen and confirmed: “I didn’t say that at all.”
What he did say, however, was the name of one of the movie’s animators, Omid Rajabalipour. Spoken in the Minions unique language, “Balipour” must sound like “Bonnie Blue” to listeners. “People hear that other person’s name, which is very strange,” Coffink added
Minions & Monstershit theaters on July 1. According to Deadline,the film has had a franchise low five-day opening of $64 million. Overall, though, the film made $100 million at the foreign box office and has a total global haul of $164.5 million
Minions & Monsterstakes place in 1927 and follows the creatures as they create a monster movie in Old Hollywood. The film stars Trey Parker, Jeff Bridges,Christoph Waltz, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeff Bridges, and Bobby Moynihan
