    I met Steve Carell at a restaurant in San Francisco with my then 4 year old twins. Nobody else was in the restaurant so I brought the kids over and told them it was Gru. He was so nice and spoke to the kids (yes in the voice). I had just bought my son a magic trick and Steve and Nancy asked him to show it to them. So he is as nice and down to earth as the people he talks about in this clip.

    I still can’t get the office out of my head whenever I look at him or hear his voice, he’s just one of the living legends out there.
  • Michael’s improv classes clearly paid dividends. From Blindguy Mcsqueezy to this Steve Carell guy. Incredible
  • @charda1k
    I don’t think anyone can dislike this man. He’s just so lovable

    As much as I love his comedies, he still manages to astound me with his dramatic roles.
  • @Rotuma7
    Steve is the man!!! Just finished rewatching The Office for the 11th time, funniest guy 😂
  • @pieznthighzzz
    This man ages so beautifully. It seems like the office just finished last year.
  • @seize3
    Steve Carell got the silver fox look GOING ON! This is the look I want as I get older 🔥
  • Met him while he was filming Irresistible and he did the Gru voice for my kids. Such a great guy.
  • @Tonyhouse1168
    I think I’m the only one who loves Dan In Real Life. Steve is absolutely fantastic in it. I laughed, I cried, and I still watch it a few times a year
