Carell shot his final scenes on the comedy earlier this month which co-star Krasinski described as ‘completely bittersweet.’
Speaking to Parade he said: ‘It’s an insanely special relationship we have with each other on the show, and Steve’s leaving is the first time we’ve been snapped out of it and had to think about how much we all rely on each other.
‘No one can replace him. That goes for him as an actor, because no one has the sense of humour he does, but also there’s no person who has his incredible positivity and professionalism, and just a really good heart. So we’re losing a friend first and foremost.’
John also let on to a bit of Office trivia. Did you know he and some friends filmed the footage of Scranton seen in the opening sequence of the show?
‘When I got the part, the first thing I did was get extremely nerdy and call the executive producer and say, ‘I’m gonna drive to Scranton,’ because I had never been. So a couple of friends and I went with a video camera, and those images are the opening to our show. [The producer] said, ‘Oh, this is great. It looks just bad enough to work.’’
Well I never!
