In his life, Gru has made quite a success of being a most despicable supervillain, setting his sights on really, really big capers designed to generate fear and respect. Which would make him eight years old when the minions first arrive in America, and nine years old during the moon mission which he became so obsessed with as a boy.) His birth date is also given there, in the background information, as September 28, 1960. Officially, Gru's first name is "Felonius", as seen on the computer screen during the background check Miss Hattie conducts on him. Gru and his mother clearly are not native to the United States (where they live), and their broken English accent would seem to indicate that they originated from somewhere in central to southeastern Europe. ![]() But with a mother like his, and an apparently absent father, poor little boy Gru's dreams were repeatedly crushed, setting the stage for a life of villainy. All he ever wanted to do as a boy was to be an astronaut, and go to the moon. ![]() Not that he showed any signs of it in his youth. And one of the world's most successful, and despicable, is Gru*. In the modern dog-eat-dog world of supervillains, it's all about staying one step ahead of the competition.
