When people think of Steve Carell (as one does), they probably imagine his portrayal of Michael Scott in The Office, where he looked a little something like this. ||||| Michael Scott, is that you? 
 
 Steve Carell is looking a lot more dapper than he did during his days on The Office and his fans are taking notice. While promoting Despicable Me 3 with co-star Kristen Wiig, the 54-year-old actor turned heads last week when he stepped out in London, England, wearing stylish shades, a fitted blue sweater, khaki pants and trendy leather sneakers.

 ET's Carly Steel spoke with Carell on Saturday at the Despicable Me 3 premiere in Los Angeles, California, and he hilariously reacted to the buzz surrounding his new look. "I am so sick of people just looking at me for my physical attributes," the father of two quipped. "It's just genetic. There's nothing I can do."

 Carell added, "I'm bursting with pride. That's very nice." 
 
 Needless to say, the Twitterverse couldn't help but compare Carell's new sense of style to that of his character, Cal, in Crazy, Stupid, Love. In the 2011 romantic comedy, Jacob (Ryan Gosling) gives Cal a makeover in an effort to boost his confidence after his split from his wife, Emily (Julianne Moore).

 "2017 Steve Carell is 2011 Steve Carell after his wife screws David Lindhagen in Crazy, Stupid, Love," another fan proclaimed.

 One star who took notice of Carell's charisma early on was Emma Watson. In April 2015, the 27-year-old actress penned a handwritten note, praising the Golden Globe winner. "You were pure genius in Little Miss Sunshine (one of my all-time favorite films), my brother became obsessed with you after Anchorman," she wrote. "I wanted to marry you or have you adopt me after Crazy, Stupid, Love, I hated that guy you played in The Way Way Back, and then you were mind-blowing in Foxcatcher."

 Steve Carell Overtakes George Clooney as the Internet's Favorite Silver Fox

– Steve Carell has been promoting Despicable Me 3 lately, and fans have noticed something: Um, he's hot. The former Office star's gray hair is making him into quite the "silver fox," as many have pointed out on Twitter and elsewhere. (Consider the BuzzFeed article "Guys, Steve Carell Just Got Insanely Hot And I Don't Know How to Feel About It," or this sample tweet: "Hot Steve Carell is your ex boyfriend who is honestly just doing better without you.") Carell, 54, reacted to all the hoopla at the film's LA premiere Saturday when Entertainment Tonight brought it up. "I am so sick of people just looking at me for my physical attributes. It's just genetic. There's nothing I can do," he joked before adding, "I'm bursting with pride. That's very nice." On Tuesday night, Jimmy Fallon also brought it up during Carell's appearance on the Tonight Show. "My wife finally said she's in love with me," he joked about his wife of 22 years. Asked how it feels to be in the same club as George Clooney and Anderson Cooper, Carell said, "There's a bracelet you get. Mine says Steve and on the other side of the bracelet, it says, 'hunk of man meat.'"
