This is the moment Hollywood star Steve Carell said Scotland skipper Scott Brown was the 'handsome version' of his Despicable Me character Gru.

Celtic captain Broony had posted a selfie of himself alongside the supervillian during a trip to Universal Studios in Florida and labelled him his 'twin'.

Carell, the voice behind character, told Brown he is much better looking than Gru and he was being 'hard on himself'. 

Speaking to Ewen Cameron on The Late Show, alongside co-star Kristen Wiig, Carell said: "He's like the handsome version of Gru. 

Wiig responded: "They could be distantly related", as host Ewen Cameron pressed them on whether they thought Broony was a 'good looking boy'. 

Carell then shared his own message for Scott, saying: "Hi Scott, I hope you make it to the World Cup, I think you are being a little hard on yourself with this comparison to Gru."

"I think you are a very good looking indivudual, I think Gru is a little strange looking...but you possess qualities of Gru."

"You possess an inner warmth, a kindness, a generosity, and I think that's what you are seeing in Gru, and that's something you can share."

"Good luck, I hope it works out".
