Steve is a big basketball fan, and he reacted to NBA superstar Nikola Jokić recently embracing the Gru comparisons by donning a black and gray striped scarf while arriving for the Nuggets' playoff opener.
Carell said of Jokić's look, “Pretty good... I think he nailed it completely, yeah. Good for him… I give him high marks for that definitely.”
Steve said of finding Gru’s voice, “That just originated when my kids were little. Before I went in to do the first one, I tried out a number of different voices for them and this is the one that kind of stuck. This is the one that made them laugh, so it's one I used.”
