Despicable Me 3 sees the introduction of a major new character: Grus twin brother Dru. Thats right. In a busy plot that revolves around Gru raising a family, losing his job, fighting an evil former 80s TV-star with a grudge and being abandoned by the Minions, Gru discovers his life isnt what he thought it was. Hes got a secret twin brother. Separated at birth, Gru was raised by his mother, while Dru was raised by his father  and Steve Carell provides the voice for both. And while they share similarities, at the same time theyre very different  in both voice and character.  As characters, Gru is intent on fighting the good fight while Dru is drawn to their fathers calling to villainy. Dru wants Gru to teach him everything he knows. Dru also ended up with Grus share of the hair  Gru is bald as a coot, while Dru has a flowing blond mane. Gru and Dru share a lot of screen time in Despicable Me 3, and theres often a lot of interplay between the two  but how did Carell go about recording the voices? I did them separately. I would do Gru first and then I would do Dru the second half just to try to distinguish one from the other, he says. Theres even a bit in the film where each impersonates the other, which must have been tricky. It was a little weird. That was a little strange, says Carell. Is Despicable Me 4 Happening? On the subject of whether theres going to be a Despicable Me 4, aside from Minions spin-offs, both Carell and his co-star Kristen Wiig are enthusiastic about the idea. Kristen says, We dont know yet. I hope so, that would be amazing. Steve, meanwhile has this to say: I hope people like this one enough to warrant a fourth, theres a lot going on in this movie. Theres a new villain whos hysterical. The Minions have gone off. Theyve decided theyre going to try to explore something new, and Lucy is dealing with all this stuff with being a new mom and Gru is fired and he finds out he has a brother. There are a lot of different story threads in this one but I think it definitely leaves it open for a fourth, which will be great. Watch Steve Carell doing the voices of Gru and Dru above.  Despicable Me 3 is out in the UK and US on June 30.

Its a mixture of various languages including French, Spanish, English and more  with a large dose of nonsense added in.Its very difficult to master though, as Steve Carell who plays villain-turned-good-guy Gru in the series and who had to speak Minionese in the latest instalment, attests.One of our directors does most of the minion voices and I had to actually do a little bit of Minionese in this movie and its really hard.

I wasnt very good at it.FANDOM put Carell and his co-star Kristen Wiig, who plays Grus wife Lucy in the film, through their paces with a movie quiz  in Minionese.The challenge?
