20 Mind-Blowing Facts About The Minions

12. Pierre Coffin Has Voiced About 900 Minions

Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud are co-directors of the franchise, and lent their voices to the Minions from the start. Coffin says he voiced "exactly" 899 Minions in the second movie, and he voiced them all in the third, though it's not yet been tallied how many Minions have speaking parts in that film.

It's also unclear whether the floating Minion on the moon rejoined his fellows on Earth between the first and second movie, or if Renaud was the one to voice him. If the answer to both questions is no, then Coffin voiced at least one more, bringing his total to 900 even.

Renaud, in addition to voicing the odd extra Minion here and there, voiced the "Evil Minions" seen in the second movie.
