Hey guys, it's Audrey from Young Hollywood with Miranda Cosgrove from Despicable Me 3.
Hi.
Hi, how are you?
Good. How are you?
I'm great. We're coordinating very well today.
I know. We're talking about how great it is.
So, I wanted to play a little game with you called finish the line and we've taken some notorious lines from the first movie and I and I want to test your knowledge, your memory really. It's kind of like a pop quiz. not really because you're not gonna get like a grade or anything.
I have to get them all right.
You have Yes, no pressure. You've only been in all of the movies so uh okay. It's so fluffy. I'm gonna die.
As Agnes, adorable.
Okay. You will not cry or whine or laugh or giggle or sneeze or burp or fart.
Burp or fart. So close, so close. Burp or fart.
But burp or fart, I mean, yeah. Gru, amazing. Burping's even grosser. I could see why he would want them to do that.
I know. They have them right next to each other, burping and farting.
I said dart gun, not fart gun.
I know that one. Yeah. That one's rolled off the tongue.
Did you just fall?
No, I attacked the floor.
Yes. I say that too and I fall a lot, which is why my heels are stacked. And last one. Okay. So, this one you kind of have to act act out for me if if you're if you can. Does this count as annoying?
How do you I don't know how she does it. She does it so well. Because she's not real. I can't do it with my cheeks. I can't even move my mouth.
It kind of works. For you because you've done a lot of live action. Um but being a part of this franchise, what's so fun about doing Margo and and you know, being an animated character and being a voice actor.
It's just fun to get to like be in a room and imagine this whole world with all these characters and then you're kind of just alone in there and you don't really have to like worry about anything. You can be wearing sweats and then you can just use your imagination and like say the lines in a bunch of different fun ways. So, it's cool to be like having to imagine falling off a cliff one second and then I'm being like falling asleep in the next scene, yawning and doing all this different stuff. It's fun.
Third movie in. I mean, where are we in the despicable me universe?
They're a whole family now because at the end of the second film, Gru marries Lucy. They're officially a couple. They're officially married. Yeah. It actually starts off in a bad place where Gru loses his job and the minions decide to quit and not work for Gru anymore. But it's it's pretty cool because um my character is excited to have a mom. Um and then they kind of go through some moments where they're like fighting, not getting along that well and then um Margo, my character definitely comes around in the end.
There's also a new villain in this installment. Okay, So.
Yeah. He is obsessed with the 80s. He used to be a child star and then he's not really popular anymore and nobody really is excited about him anymore so he decides to actually become a super villain and but because he's stuck in the 80s, he's like really into like Rubik's cubes and all of his like evil villainous stuff.
Ha. What about that? What? Oh, girls. Dance fight. You talked about family and one of the themes, I think, of these movies is family and and I think we're getting introduced to a member of Gru's family. What do you know about him? What can you tell us?
Yeah, Gru actually finds out, he never knew and he finds out in this movie that he has a twin brother named Dru.
What? Twin brother.
Twin brother. Except that Dru has a full head of hair, as you can see, and dresses cooler and he's kind of like, he's like Gru but he's like does everything a little bit better. Even though Gru's excited to find out he has a twin brother, he is also a little jealous.
This place is amazing. It's nice, yes. I'm not really into things. Is there a character that you personally identify with the most in in these movies?
Probably Bob the Minion.
I was gonna ask like everybody has a spirit minion, right? Like what? Yeah. What is it about these Minions that are so lovable? They're like adorable and diabolical at the same time.
They're just so funny. They're like evil and sweet and I don't know. I love them. Even the bald ones somehow make cute.
I know. I know he has one eye. Like they're inexplicable. They're just they're just adorable. Miranda, this was so fun. So, what else should should we expect from Despicable Me 3?
Um, just a lot of fun, a new villain, a twin brother. Um, yeah, a lot of minions, a lot of craziness and hopefully it'll make people laugh a lot.
And one more question. Does this annoy you a little bit?
I wanna like work on it now.
I know. We'll go over it next time. Next time.
