Coyote Ugly, the cult classic film that captured the hearts of audiences 25 years ago, recently celebrated its anniversary with a star-studded reunion. The cast, including Tyra Banks, Maria Bello, Melania Lynskey, and Izabella Miko, gathered for a Q&A screening to reminisce about their time on set and share secrets from behind the scenes.
During the event benefiting the Global Empowerment Mission and its efforts surrounding the Los Angeles wildfires, the cast members opened up about their experiences filming the iconic movie. Tyra Banks, who played the feisty bartender Zoe, revealed how she had to overcome her fear of dancing on the bar top for the film’s memorable sequences. Maria Bello, who portrayed the tough bar owner Lil, shared how she drew inspiration from real-life bar owners to bring her character to life.
Joining the cast at the reunion were Diane Warren, the legendary songwriter behind the film’s hit songs, and director David McNally. Warren reflected on the impact of the film’s music and the lasting legacy of Coyote Ugly. McNally discussed the challenges of bringing the story to life on the big screen and the film’s enduring popularity among fans.
One of the most exciting revelations of the night was the discussion of a potential sequel to Coyote Ugly. The cast members teased the idea of reuniting for another adventure, with Banks jokingly suggesting that they could be running a successful chain of Coyote Ugly bars around the world.
As the night came to a close, the cast and crew of Coyote Ugly left fans buzzing with excitement and nostalgia for the beloved film. With talks of a sequel in the works, it seems that the magic of Coyote Ugly will continue to captivate audiences for years to come.

Wow this makes me feel really old. I can't believe this movie is 25 years old. They all still look wonderful and have aged well. Gotta rewatch this.
Happy anniversary ❤
Melanie Lynskey had arguably the least exciting role in this movie yet she was a huge standout for me. I'm not surprised by her success at all. Anyone else?
Michael Bay had a cameo on Coyote Ugly. This means that Coyote Ugly is a semi Transformers prequel. But the Transformers did not feel like fighting in this movie.
Two great scenes in that movie. One, Piper getting Adam Garcia to strip on the bar top and Piper and Leanne Rimes singing together during the closing credits.
❤❤❤
Tyra Banks still looks gorgeous today.
LOVE THIS MOVIE! I re-watched it like 20 times already
Where is LeAnn Rimes
Hope so
To this day i still dont get it why they put tyra as the ""star"" a mean she was just 5 min in the film
Where is Piper Perabo?

I thought Tyra got canceled for the way she treated girls on ANTM? 😂people are so dumb, y’all love to pick and choose who to cancel then praise them again lol
