Gru's age is inconsistent across the Despicable Me franchise, with different films suggesting birth years from 1960 to 1965, meaning he's somewhere in his late 40s to early 60s in the main films, but most sources pinpoint him as being around 11 and three-quarters in Minions: The Rise of Gru, which would place his birth in the mid-1960s, despite other movie dates.
Series Continuity Error: The first Despicable Me film establishes that Gru was born on September 28, 1960. This film is set during the Chinese New Year of 1976, which started on January 31 and Gru states that he is 11 and three quarters, which would mean he was actually born in April 1964.
-Bob the Minion: Bob is one of Gru's minions. He often carries around his teddy bear named Tim. He is one of the more childish minions. Bob is canonically both 6 years old and millions of years old.
Antonio Perez is the son of Eduardo Perez (otherwise known as El Macho) and the first known love interest of Margo Gru, much to the disapproval of Felonius Gru. He appears as the tertiary antagonist of Despicable Me 2.
When Lucy Wilde gives Gru a phone number to reach her, it is clearly visible as 626-584-5723. Calling that number reaches a recording of Kristen Wiig in character, with her outgoing voicemail message. However, the voicemail box is full, and you cannot hear her recording. This number is no longer in operation.

The director compared the decision to keep characters the same age to The Simpsons, explaining that, while there's potential for other stories by aging up the characters, it hasn't impacted general audience perception of the film. "It's funny, it comes up a lot. I don't think the audience cares," he said.
"GRU" has several meanings, most commonly referring to the Gated Recurrent Unit, a type of neural network, or Russia's military intelligence agency, the Main Intelligence Directorate (Glavnoye Razvedyvatelnoye Upravlenie). It can also refer to the character Felonious Gru from Despicable Me, or less commonly, grits (Louisiana French) or a shipbuilding term.
Vector, also known by his real name, Victor Perkins, is the main antagonist of Illumination's first feature film, the original Despicable Me and its video game adaption Despicable Me: The Game, a boss in the 2014 mobile game Minion Rush, and the main anti-hero of the short film Mooned.
Vector says "Oh poop" in Despicable Me when he realizes he's stranded on the Moon after his rocket malfunctions, as a mild, kid-friendly substitute for a stronger curse word, reflecting his shock and predicament after trying to escape Earth, according to the Despicable Me Wiki.
The teaser introduces Gru's identical twin, aptly named Dru. He is the richer brother, also voiced by Steve Carell.
As a variant of Drew, it's a Welsh name that means "wise" to inspire baby to embrace their natural curiosity and drive to learn. Dru can also be a short form of the French name Drury. Meaning "loved one," you'll probably be most familiar with Drury from the story of the Muffin Man.
Scarlett Overkill is married, in the movie trailers, to Herb Overkill (played by Jon Hamm). We've already met Gru's mother in the previous movies, so we know that Scarlett is not the mother that raised him, but it makes sense if Scarlett is his birth-mother.
Gru is the most powerful being in the universe, and here's why: according to the height of a Minion (which is 3.5 feet on average) Gru is 4 minions tall, which means he is a godly size of 14 feet tall.
The confirmed numbers are 899 in the Minions film series and 10,400 during the main film series.
While other Celestial Spirits serve Lucy obediently, Aquarius is irritated by her. When summoned, Aquarius will either attack the opponent, Lucy, or both of them, depending on her mood. Despite this, Aquarius does care for Lucy's well-being.
Lucy then gets her guild mark from Mirajane and happily shows it to Natsu only to be slightly ignored by the Dragon Slayer and annoyed when he calls her "Luigi" (“Loonie” in the English dub) instead of Lucy.
He is a young, nerdy, aspiring supervillain and the son of Mr. Perkins, as well as the first villain to antagonize Felonious Gru. Vector's actions are a driving force for Gru's arising heroism and the adoption of Margo, Edith, and Agnes.
He has light brown skin with brown eyes. According to Gru's flashbacks, twenty years ago, Eduardo was taller and more muscular than he is in the present day, and had longer black hair. In the present day, Eduardo is 5'4", just below Gru's shoulder height.
Margo, the eldest of the three sisters, is the mature and the responsible one. She initially struggles to adjust to life with Gru, but eventually forms a deep bond with him as her father figure. She is always very protective of her younger sisters, Edith and Agnes, as he is the older sibling.
