Before Steve Carell worked in the stock room at Smart Tech in the 40-Year-Old Virgin, he was a waiter in Curly Sue. He looks the same now as he did when he was 28 in that 1991 movie.
Steve Carell was on Conan tonight and the TBS late night host asked him if it is true that The 40 Year Old Virgin almost didn’t happen. Carell told him that is true and explained what happened. After the first week of filming, Judd Apatow got a call from the big wigs at Universal and they said they wanted to talk to them because they were shutting them down production. At the meeting the execs said, “We’ve been watching footage…You look like a serial killer.”
They were judging this even though they had not shot any dialogue during their first four days of filming. At that point all they filmed was him riding his bike with a helmet and him walking looking at posters on the street. Which seems weird that they came to that assumption.
Luckily for us, they didn’t listen and went right filming that Monday. Can you imagine if that film never got released? All the other films of Carell and Apatow’s that might not have happened. This movie really launched both of their big screen careers.

Before Steve Carell was a 40 Year Old Virgin, he was playing the man who was on many many many romance novels covers. How sexy is 32 year old working his magic for Second City back in 1994?
Steve Carell was being interviewed by Peter Travers and the ABC News reporter wanted to know what song was playing in his head. If you are like me, then you think it might be something from The Beatles or something else from that era. We are both wrong. Brick Tamland out of no where belted out Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off and then he admitted he is fan of the singer’s. Who would’ve thought that Burt Wonderful would magically be in love with her, but he is.
Before Steve Carell ran The Office, he worked for Brown’s Chicken. He looks the same now as he did when he was 27 in his first commercial back in 1989.
