Steve Carell Plays With Puppies While Answering Fan Questions

To celebrate “Minions: The Rise of Gru,” we had Steve Carell play with puppies while trying to answer your questions. I’m going to be honest, this is the most wholesome interview. Steve talks about how he found Gru’s iconic voice, which “The Office” episode was the funniest to film, and so much more. And yes, he even talks about the 2004 classic “Sleepover.” Check out all the cuteness now! #SteveCarell #PuppyInterview

[@PichDextro]

I mean... He is a great guy, but you guys really read a lot into puppies falling asleep. When I got to get a dog from a neighbour who had a litter and couldn't keep all of them, I looked at all the puppies at the same time, sat on the floor to play with them and all and they all fell asleep either in my arm, or right next to me eventually. They are babies. And dogs on top of that. They sleep for about 18 hours a day. Newborn puppies sleep up to 20 hours. These puppies in the video are only a few weeks old, so they *will* fall asleep, no matter who's with them. It has nothing to do with them picking up on anything. Adult dogs, yes sure they won't fall asleep, if they don't trust you, but not puppies.

[@stacielynn6153]

The puppies got a dad vibe and immediately went to sleep lol

So many other celebrities get super excited and have so much energy when they see the puppies, which is totally to be expected, but I feel the reason they puppies were so calm and fell asleep with Steve was because he was immediately calm with them, whipsering to them and just had a super chill energy with them.
