Who voices Belle Bottom in Minions: The Rise of Gru?

Belle Bottom in Minions: The Rise of Gru is voiced by Taraji P. Henson.

Belle Bottom is the leader of the Vicious 6, a group of master criminals who betray the aging supervillain Wild Knuckles. Her design and personality draw heavily on 1970s disco culture: she wears a glittering outfit, has an imposing presence, and uses a large belt buckle as a weapon.

Taraji P. Henson joined the film’s voice cast alongside Michelle Yeoh, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dolph Lundgren, Danny Trejo, and Russell Brand. Henson’s performance gives Belle Bottom a confident, theatrical villainy that matches the character’s disco-themed identity.

A common mix-up is confusing Belle Bottom with the actors voicing other Vicious 6 members. Henson plays Belle Bottom, while Michelle Yeoh voices Master Chow and Jean-Claude Van Damme voices Jean-Clawed. The film was released in 2022 after a two-year delay caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
