Steve Carell

Steve Carell has revealed that is always surprised to find that he is working.

The actor shot to fame in 40 Year Old Virgin and has since gone on to star in Little Miss Sunshine and the American version of The Office.

He teams up with funny woman Tina Fey for his next movie Date Night, which is directed by Shawn Levy.

Speaking to MSN the actor said: "It doesn't sound sincere but it is: I'm always surprised that I'm working, that I have a job doing what we're doing.

"Tina felt the same way the first few days of shooting. So, no, I tend not to plan ahead.

"Five years ago, I could have never imagined any of this happening. I try to just enjoy it.

"If I could continue to do this sort of thing - I don't have any pretence of doing serious drama or directing. If any of that happens, fine.

Maybe I'll do nothing, because I'm very good at that. I can get lazy. I don't think I'm a very driven person.

When I have work, I work very hard. But when I don't work, I really don't do anything. I could easily just fade away."

Date night follows a married couple who, after a case of mistaken identity, find their attempt at a glamorous and romantic evening turn into something more thrilling and dangerous.

Date Night is released 21st April.
