0:02:28 > 0:02:33friends, and this June Gru's returning to the big screen
0:02:33 > 0:02:34in Despicable Me 3.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37We've been putting your questions to Steve Carell,
0:02:37 > 0:02:42the actor behind everyone's favourite criminal mastermind.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Hi, I'm Steve Carell, and I play Gru in Despicable Me 3.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48As I was saying, I...
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Goodbye.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Alice aged 14 from Canterbury, England.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Well, the first time I did the Gru voice it was for my kids,
0:03:03 > 0:03:06because I was trying to make them laugh.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09And we were playing around with different voices,
0:03:09 > 0:03:12when I finally said, "hey, guys, what do you think
0:03:12 > 0:03:14of this, what do you say?"
0:03:14 > 0:03:17They liked that one.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18I left that life behind me.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Just one heist!
0:03:23 > 0:03:26You know, Omar, that's just the way he was born.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29And in this next movie, you're going to meet his twin
0:03:29 > 0:03:30brother whose name is Dru.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35And he has an equally long nose.
0:03:35 > 0:03:41They both find themselves extremely handsome.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42Look at him!
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Oh, hair would make you better.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46Look at his face!
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Oh, he's so mad.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51I think that would be fantastic.
0:03:51 > 0:03:56Because a Minion will essentially do whatever you want them to do
0:03:56 > 0:04:02so I would have Minions cook me breakfast, and I would sometimes use
0:04:02 > 0:04:07them to scrub my back because I assume a Minion has a nice
0:04:07 > 0:04:10porous quality, you could use them like a sponge.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12And they're infinitely entertaining.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15They're just funny to have around.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18C'est Gru con boobs!
0:04:18 > 0:04:24If they had a choice, of anything to eat in the world,
0:04:24 > 0:04:25it would probably be bananas.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27There's a Minion ride, and when the Minions,
0:04:27 > 0:04:32how do I put this nicely, well, when the Minions fart
0:04:32 > 0:04:38on the ride, the audience can smell bananas.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41And it's slightly disgusting.
0:04:41 > 0:04:50That was information you didn't want but I gave it to you, sorry.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52That's all from me, Newsround's back right
0:04:52 > 0:04:54here in just over half an hour.
