Dru Gru is the deuteragonist of Illumination's 8th full length feature film Despicable Me 3 and a minor character in its 2024 sequel, Despicable Me 4.
He is an amateur supervillain and the twin brother of Felonious Gru.
Just like Dru's twin brother, Gru, he was voiced by Steve Carell.
Appearance[]
Dru looks almost identical to his brother. However, there are a few differences, most notably, he has a thick full head of blond hair while Gru is bald and has black eyebrows. Dru also wears prominently white clothes while Gru wears mostly black clothes. Just like Gru, Dru also has blue eyes.
Personality[]
Unlike Gru, Dru is shown to be a lot more happier and a bit hipper, hyper and full of energy whenever he gets excited, especially when he finally gets to meet Gru. He is also shown to be a bit clumsy and careless, which is why his father Robert refused to teach him how to be a villain and had to turn to his brother for lessons. He often panics and also overacts when he is scared, as well as being uncooperative, disobedient and childish. Although he likes Gru, he won't hesitate to act if someone he loves is in danger.
Biography[]
Despicable Me 3[]
Dru is the twin brother of Gru separated on birth, living with their father Robert. Dru strives to be a supervillain, but unlike Gru, he is often incompetent. Hence, Dru turns to his brother for advice and Gru agrees somewhat.
He also did appear as a rather kind and polite person towards his brother until he realized that his brother was just using him to get his old job back. The two of them have a fight about that Gru leaves in a huff. However, after Balthazar Bratt kidnaps Gru's daughters, Dru then chips in to help rescue them. The two brothers reconcile before the final battle against Bratt, and Dru almost gets himself killed trying to save Gru from Bratt's giant robot. There, he reveals that watched Balthazar's show "Evil Bratt" when it was on air and even owned action figures.
At the end of the movie, he and the minions steal Gru's ship as part of a family tradition, while Gru silently acknowledges this and gives him a 5-minute head start. The ending credits show that Dru continues his felonies, whereas Gru attempts to stop him only occasionally winning.
Despicable Me 4[]
Dru appears in a short cameo at the end, seen in Gru's backyard.
