The world has lost one of its most recognizable voices. Peter Cullen, who gave life to ‘Optimus Prime’ in Transformers and ‘Eeyore’ in Winnie the Pooh, died on August 26, 2026, at his Los Angeles home. For over six decades, Cullen was everywhere without ever being seen. From announcing on 1960s television to voicing ‘King Kong,’ and then leading the ‘Autobots’ from the original 1984 cartoon to last year’s films, his deep, steady voice made him a popular face.
After his sudden death at the age of 85, Peter’s family life has come into the limelight. While some reports claim he was married to a woman named Brandi Cullen, official confirmation is awaited.
