'Despicable Me 2': Watch Steve Carell’s Hilarious Gru Makeover On 'Ellen'

Ellen

We seriously can’t stop smiling. Why you ask? Well we just watched, Despicable Me star Gru in his very first TV appearance. The former villain-turned-amazing father of three stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show Thursday afternoon to promote his summer blockbuster Despicable Me 2 and to dazzle audiences with his sweet moves.
Dressed exactly like his cartoon alterego (freakishly large nose and all) Steve Carell takes a seat beside host Ellen DeGeneres and stays in character for the entire interview. It’s pretty damn impressive considering Gru’s over-the-top accent and oddly shaped physique — but of course Carell was comedic perfection while DeGeneres struggled to contain her giggles.
Take a look at the video below to watch Gru move and groove through the Ellen audience and don’t forget to catch Despicable Me 2 when it hits theaters Friday July 3.
