Despicable Me 3 created history after becoming the fourth highest-grossing animated movie of all time. Steve Carell’s masterpiece went on to amass a staggering box office of $1.034 billion against a budget of $80 million.
Steve Carell Had To Change His Voice For The Grouchy Supervillain Gru
Gru’s transformation from a grouchy supervillain to a soft-hearted father who goes on to adopt three orphans has won millions of hearts across the world. The emotional side of Gru and his little army of little yellow henchmen is one of the biggest draws behind one of the highest-grossing animated movie franchises in Hollywood. The Office actor Steve Carell has been the voice behind Gru ever since the inception of the character in the franchise.
During an interview with Late Night With Seth Meyers in 2022, Steve Carell spoke about the character of Gru and how he went on to change his voice for the protagonist in Minions: The Rise Of Gru. While talking about the difference between the two versions of Gru, he said-
“Little Gru is just more earnest and higher. I think anyone can do Gru. I really — I shouldn’t say that, ’cause I’ll be out of a job. Because they could probably get it.”
The actor believes the Minions are one of the most important aspects with respect to the popularity of the franchise. Steve Carell has reprised the character of Gru in every installment of Despicable Me.
Despicable Me 4 is set to hit the theatres on July 3, 2024.
