\n‘She was so excited that she hit me.’
\u201cI was riding and it was a pretty fast road,\u201d the 56-year-old actor said. \u201cAnd I made a turn and I didn\u2019t see the car behind me, and they hit me from behind.\u201d
Carell went on to explain that he flipped over the handlebars and \u201ctuck and rolled\u201d his way to safety. He wasn\u2019t injured. When he walked back, he saw that his bike had been stuck under the front of the car. The woman was \u201cdistraught\u201d but was excited when she saw who her victim had been.
\u201cShe says, \u2018Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! It\u2019s Steve Carell! And she was so excited that she hit me,\u201d Carell continued. \u201cIt was really kind of a fun fan encounter.\u201d
When Carell finished up his story, DeGeneres decided to give him a few safety gifts for future bike rides. A staff member came out with a helmet and a bright yellow vest, both covered in flashing lights and reflectors, to ensure that Carell never gets hit again.
Steve Carell has the voice of an angel.

The 60-year-old show host helped the actor put on his new gear, saying, \u201cNo one is gonna hurt you now.\u201d
The story came up when the two were discussing how close Carell lives to DeGeneres\u2019 studio. Carell admitted that he does live just minutes away, and sometimes rides his bike in the area, People reported. Despite his close distance to the studio, he never stops in for a visit.
\u201cI don\u2019t like it here. You make me nervous,\u201d Carell joked as the reason why he never appears on DeGeneres\u2019 show.
When Carell\u2019s character is beaten in a bar, the actor is wearing heels, which he admitted is the \u201cmost difficult thing\u201d he has ever had to do for a role.
\u201c[It\u2019s] one thing walking in them, it\u2019s another thing looking like you feel comfortable in them,\u201d Carell said.
Although, he did joke that he looked great wearing the heels.<\/p>\n
