Wayne Allwine, the man who has been the voice of Mickey Mouse for the last 32 years, died on Monday of complications from diabetes. His wife, Russi Taylor, who happens to be the voice of Minnie Mouse, was by his side when he finally passed on. Wayne was actually the third man to voice Mickey, with the first being Walt Disney himself, and the second being Wayne's mentor, Jimmy MacDonald. No word on who is going to take the voice over from Wayne.
It's kinda sad, ya know? He's been the voice of Mickey for my entire lifetime, and let's be real -- when you're 9 years old, Mickey Mouse is the f*cking sh*t. Hell, I'm 25 and still wanna give the big ole mouse a hug!!
