Silver Fox Steve Carell Has the BEST Response to His Hottie Status

Silver Fox Steve Carell Has the BEST Response to His Hottie Status

Steve Carell has just been deemed Hollywood’s newest, hottest silver fox — affirming what we already knew, that silver hair is super hot — and, natch, the comedian has the BEST response to fans’ appreciation of his refined physical allure.

The crush-sparking situation began over on social media when more than one person noticed that the 54-year-old funny-man has earned himself silver fox status as a result of fully and proudly embracing his gray hair.

However, the star (jokingly) isn’t on board with being seen as a piece of meat. “I am so sick of people just looking at me for my physical attributes,” he told ET at the premiere of Despicable Me 3 in LA on Saturday. “It’s just genetic. There’s nothing I can do.” Poor dude. Must be rough to be so lovable.

On a more serious note (yes, he’s able to be serious when the situation calls for it… like when fans fawn over his crush-worthiness), he added, “I’m bursting with pride. That’s very nice.”

Nice, indeed. Almost as nice as his easy-on-the-eyes silver fox ways.
