Steve Carell arrived as his animated alter ego — Despicable Me‘s Felonious Gru — during his Thursday appearance on Ellen.
The screen comedian reprises his voice duties for the character, billed as the “world’s #2 villain,” in the sequel to the 2010 blockbuster, Despicable Me 2, set to be released on July 3, 2013.
Carell, wearing a bald cap and prosthetic beak and familiar striped scarf, emerged to the cheers of the Gru-loving crowd.
“I came all the way to Los Angeles because they don’t have good Starbucks in Albuquerque,” Gru explained.
He later performed a dance in the aisles to the Bee Gees’ “You Should Be Dancing.”
Sadly, his minions — Gru’s yellow, pill-shaped worker bees — were nowhere to be found.
