There is a new member silver fox in town: Steve Carell.
The 54-year-old has come a long way since his days as the dorky and awkward (yet, totally lovable) Michael Scott on The Office, and has joined the ranks of George Clooney and Ryan Reynolds in the unofficial “Dudes with Sexy Gray Hair Club.”
He debuted his sleek, GQ-esque look last week while promoting his latest movie, Despicable Me 3, in London alongside costar Kristen Wiig. Naturally, the Twittersphere took notice, with one user writing, “Honestly take your Goslings and Zayns Malik and give me 2017 Steve Carell.”
So, what does the comedian think of all the attention? “I’m bursting with pride. That’s very nice,” he recently told Entertainment Tonight.
“I am so sick of people just looking at me for my physical attributes,” Carell quipped. “It’s just genetic. There’s nothing I can do.”

In short, Carell just “woke up like this.”
The funnyman didn’t mind being on the receiving end of the Internet’s jokes, though, with many Twitter users recalling his days as The Office character.

“If you don’t want me at my ‘fun run Michael Scott’ then you don’t deserve me at my ‘2017 Steve Carell,’ ” one person tweeted.
Another user quipped: “Hot Steve Carell is your ex boyfriend who is honestly just doing better without you.”
