Steve Carell is well known for portraying one of the most iconic US sitcom characters of all time - Michael Scott in The Office. However, global fame actually arrived for the 59-year-old relatively late in his career.
Asked about how he dealt with his newfound fame on The One Show, Carell revealed the first time he discovered he had become a celebrity. The actor, who received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2016, said it was a Starbucks employee who first introduced him to life as a household name.
He said: "I don’t think it’s something you get accustomed to. The first time that ever happened was at a Starbucks, I didn’t tell them my name and they wrote my name on the cup. Wow, I’ve really made it if that’s the case.”
