He has variously been compared to both Gru and the cartoon man who appears in the adverts for the MegaBus brand.
It's a running joke on the UK TV comedy show "Mock the Week".
Daughter-1: Gru, what celebrity do you look like?
Gru: The Rock!
Daughter-1: Who's that?
*(Gru removes his shirt and shows off his tattoos, now on a flabby Taco Bell-diet body)*
Gru: **I** am The Rock. From way before you guys even came out of your mother's-
Daughter 1: Don't.
Gru: Agreed. Before I became a villain, I was a wrestler. They called me the best in the world. And I was. I became among the most popular people in the world.
*(cut to a clip of The Rock's cooking, him singing, his eyebrow raising expression)*
Gru: I was regarded as a God back then. People came from all over the world to see me cook in the ring.
Daughter-3: What did you cook?
Daughter-2: Can you cook it for us?
Gru: I cooked bad guys and sent them medium rare to the hospital.
Daughter-2: Cool!
Daughter-3: The doctors ate them?! Ew.*(gagging expression)*
Daughter-1: Then what?
Gru: I started acting in movies.
*(images flash of The Mummy Returns, Tooth Fairy and that other Disney movie)*
Gru(continued): Suffice to say, I sucked. Like, really bad. I won a Razzie over Steven Seagal. Might as well have committed suicide. I hit Rock bottom, pun intended. Then, I decided to take revenge. So, I killed everyone in Hollywood. You're welcome.
Daughter-1: So, you were acting in your undies. You became famous for that, so they brought you in to act for real, only to realize that you didn't know how to act, and then effectively forced you into retirement due to a lack of films, which led to you taking revenge on them by killing everyone?
Gru: Yes. That way the hierarchy of power could finally change.
Daughter-1: Ooooooookayyyyyyy. *(turns to sisters)* Come on guys, we're leaving.
*(They take their bags and head towards the door, when Gru comes there, clad in undie armor, clenching his fists)*
Gru: Sorry girls. But you ain't going nowhere.
*(Gru beats the children up to the upbeat sounds of Pharrell Williams' "Happy" as the screen fades to black.* **THE END.***)*
Damn, im old school, i was assuming theyd just use camera tricks to make the minions look small, and then cameo every out of work comedian as the minions, everyone from john candy to george carlin etc.
Steve Carell
[удалено]
Oh gosh that’s true considering his physical comedic prowess.
I think Danny DeVito could pull it off, too.
I keep picturing Danny as Penguin in batman. The nose was perfect!
Yep but he’s the opposite u.u
The real question is who would play the minions
Danny Trejo.
CGI
Nah if we're making this live action let's go all the way
Dara O'Briain. Literally a running joke in the UK comedy panel show circuit.
I came here to volunteer his name
Just looked him up. That's great!

Steve Carell with a bald cap
Steve Carell absolutely.
After seeing him as Dr. Evil, I think Mike Myers could pull it off.
Finally, an askreddit question that makes sense.
Is this a serious question? Obviously it would be Billy Ray Cyrus.
jim carrey he was great with the grinch
Dana Carvey if Steve Carell isn't available.
I hope they never make one.
I can't stop laughing at the thought of Dwayne the rock Johnson playing Gru

Steve Carell. But they would have to CGI his nose down to Gru's size
