Despicable Me 3 interview: Kristen Wiig and Steve Carell swap personalities, with hilarious results
The pair star as Gru and Lucy Wilde in a third outing for the villainy-themed franchise
Any opportunity to see Kristen Wiig and Steve Carell work their magic together onscreen is a gift.
The pair return once more to their characters from the villainy-themed franchise, Gru and Lucy Wilde, in Despicable Me 3; this time attempting to foil supervillain Balthazar Bratt (Trey Parker), a former TV child star with a fixation on '80s nostalgia, who dances himself through the heist of the world's most expensive diamond.
A situation which complicates when Gru, who's sworn his villain days are behind him, comes face-to-face with his long-lost twin brother Dru.
We sat down with Wiig and Carell as they swapped personalities (like Gru and Dru do as a prank in the film) and created their very own supervillain alter egos.
Will Despicable Me 4 see Gru and Lucy go up against the terrors of Dr. Fart and Gemma Meanington? Watch this space.
Despicable Me 3 hits UK cinemas 30 June.
