Funnyman Steve Carell is no 40-year-old virgin. He's married with kids! This cute, gentle, modest, soft-spoken, friendly fellow from TV's "The Office", Bruce Almighty, and the aforementioned "Virgin", is now playing a U.S. senator who wants to change the world and gets his chance to go Noah-esque when God (Morgan Freeman) tells him to build an ark in the new comedy Evan Almighty.

Inside the theater on the Universal Studios lot where the filmmakers had watched the impressive effects shots for the film, we sat down to talk with Steve, who looked business-like in black suit with more casual white shirt. We learned that the baboons in the film frightened him, he loves giraffes and elephants and wasn't fond of some of the birds that pooped on him. In the film, his character does a silly victory dance that is infectious. Steve was excited when we told him that people were doing it after seeing the movie.

Steve: Really? [big grin]

TeenHollywood: What was your most difficult scene to shoot? Was it the one with all the birds landing on you?

Steve's experience with the real-life, well fed birds Credit: Universal

Steve: I think it might have been, it was early on. It might have been those birds on me. They were on me for a few days straight. And they were real. That wasn't a computer-generated flock of birds on me. So, I think the fact they would literally not get off me and I could walk around and I don't know how they trained them to do it, but they would go nowhere. And frankly, and to be blunt, they were well fed before shooting began. So, that posed it's own set of difficulties as well.
