I thought we were having fun here? Well, Carell made it easy on himself by recording Gru’s and Dru’s lines separately, as one would with other actors for animation. That’s not always easy to do, but you have to make your choices.” I think that’s something that’s very relatable, that once your life changes and you mature into a different person, there are certain parts of your past that you have to let go. “Gru is going through a crisis of conscience because now he is a father and a husband and he has responsibilities. “He’s definitely being tempted by his brother, who is a wannabe villain and tries to enlist Gru back into the ranks,” the actor notes. Nor is being good, even when going the other way is starting to look good again. Things don’t always turn out the way you want them to, but that’s OK because going down a different path isn’t necessarily a bad thing.” It doesn’t turn out to be that way, and that’s sort of the theme of this movie, too. “He has grand expectations of what his brother is going to be like and what they’re going to do together, and how his life is going to be charmed by this.

“A lot of what Gru is navigating in this third movie has to do with sibling rivalry and, also, the expectations you have of relationships in general,” Carell reckons. Worse, most of his Minions have left him - they miss the cool old criminal days, too - and when Dru suggests a return to lawlessness, Gru gets the cartoon version of an existential crisis churning inside of his bald scalp.

After having turned hero in the second movie, he abruptly loses his job at the Anti-Villain League due to his failure to capture the wicked Balthazar Bratt (“South Park’s” Trey Parker), a 1980s TV child star gone very, very bad. Gru arrives in Freedonia with his own baggage.

When Gru brings his family - adorable adopted daughters Margo, Edith and Agnes and new wife Lucy (Kristen Wiig) - to visit the sibling, he’s not only shocked to find such a better looking version of himself Dru wants his brother to show him how to be villainous in the worst way. The handsome, likable, blond-haired twin never quite had the nasty goods to go into the family business and feels like he was a disappointment to his father due to that. You see, when their parents broke up shortly following their birth, Mom kept Gru and supervillain Dad took Dru back home with him. Dru may seem like the happiest - not to mention richest - guy in the pigs-and-cheese obsessed island nation of Freedonia, but he has one very dark issue. But don’t be lulled by his outgoing personality. I wanted to express that in their contrasting voices.”ĭru speaks with the same quizzical, Middle European accent as Gru in a higher register, with more joy and enthusiasm behind it. But Gru is a grump, and his brother Dru is very lighthearted and frivolous. … Boy, is that going to sound terrible in print,” Carell continues with a few chuckles. “I wanted to have the brother just come from a different place emotionally. I get it - what else are you going to ask about it? - but it was fun. “The acting process that goes into something like this is basically making silly voices. “It’s so funny to talk about ‘the approach’ to an animated character,” Carell, looking his casual, classy best in a light gray suit and blue polo shirt, acknowledges. While we’re sure that’s true, that might also be because he’s kind of embarrassed to fall back on any actorly rhetoric about how challenging the job was. Carell keeps emphasizing how fun it was, in fact, to bring vocal life to two super silly characters. Gru meets Dru in “Despicable Me 3,” the second sequel in the outrageously popular animated movie series.Īnd for voice actor Steve Carell, it was double the fun to play both the warmhearted master villain of the last two films and now the long-lost twin brother he never knew he had.
