Gru is Sherlock

I recently had an epiphany after I finished watching the new episode of Sherlock and happened to see the cover of Despicable Me.

Picture Gru in your head. Or, better yet, here's an actual picture of him.

Now, imagine him thinner and younger with black, curly hair and a longer coat.

Ta da. 

Our best assumption so far is that when Sherlock is a little older and thicker with less hair and a bigger nose (because apparently noses don't stop growing, I think someone told me that), one of his archenemies forces him into exile, where he assumes the identity of Gru. That, or his memory was somehow altered so that he believed himself to be a super-villain with a funny accent. 

But, you say, that can't be true, because we see Gru's mom. He couldn't conjure up a mom out of nowhere. I say that Gru's mom is obviously Mycroft In Disguise keeping an eye on him. 

If the first theory is true, and Sherlock was forced into hiding, then I believe he collected his homeless network together and injected them all with a serum which then transformed them into the minions, which makes Dr. Nefario John either in disguise or having aged much faster than Sherlock. 

My brothers and I have three theories why Gru has a long nose and Sherlock doesn't. 

1. Sherlock is older and older men tend to have bigger noses. 

2. Sherlock told several lies and the Blue Fairy from Pinocchio made his nose grow longer. 

3. An anvil dropped on Sherlock's head and some of the length of his face was pushed into his nose. 

So, there you have it. 

Toodle-pip!
