I am an everyman star: Steve Carell

The 49-year-old insists he is an "everyman" star and he still does his own shopping at the supermarket, reported Showbizspy.

"I'm everyman. I take the garbage out. Roll bins to the curb. Separate recyclables. No personal assistant. It's what I know to do, and I do it. I go to the supermarket. We were out of nonfat vanilla Coffee-mate, so I ran in, and people say hello to me. Some guy pushing a cart nods to me and says, 'Nice'," he said.

The actor, who is married to actress Nancy Walls and has two children, Annie, 11, and John, 8, said his priorities in life shifted when he became a father.

 

"I needed more time with my family. It sounds cliche, but it's true. Seven years I was gone all day, every day. My kids are 8 and 11, they are only little for a finite time. They were here, and I wasn't, so it was time to leave," he said.
