If you need the toner in your copier refilled, don’t bother calling Steve Carell. Or Michael Scott, for that matter. Office equipment scares the fuck out of him.
"I dream about computers that turn into evil robots and eat my face. I'm not kidding," the star of NBC's The Office tells Parade magazine. "There's no deep reason – no ticking toy ever harmed me in my youth. I never got a big electric shock. I just don't have the aptitude for technology or even the inclination."
Carell’s co-star B.J. Novak said he appreciates his homeboy’s appliance fear; Novak said it makes him a better friend. Awww.
"He actually communicates with people. He actually asks people how they're doing and makes friends and learns names and makes small talk while the rest of us retreat into our own little worlds in between each take," says Novak. "Steve is the only true gentleman on the set. Steve is old-fashioned, and it works."
Let’s hope Carell doesn’t ever go Hollywood as a result of his fame.
