I wonder what is the nationality of Felonious Gru from the movie Despicable Me. I have seen the movie both in English and Spanish, and both voice characterizations makes me think that he is East European (maybe Romanian), or perhaps Russian, but can't find any evidence of this.
My family recently watched the Minions movie, and according to them (beware, spoilers ahead)
there are scenes in the movie that points Gru to be from England. I believe this happens near the end of the movie, where the minions found Gru as a child near a beach I think... and as the second half of the movie takes place in London, at least we can tell that little Gru lived there as a child. However, that doesn't mean that he was born in England...
