His first performance was a disaster. He was booed by the audience. However, he did not give up and became one of the most popular Hollywood comedy actors. “I like to do things that no one expects of me. It’s a great feeling when I can prove to myself that I am able to show a completely unknown side of myself to viewers,” he said in one of the interviews. Jim Carrey.
Since childhood, Carrey dreamed of being a comedian. He took his first steps on stage at the age of 15, in comedy clubs in Toronto. However, his first performance was a disaster – he was booed by the audience. However, he did not give up and was soon named “Toronto’s best young comedian”.
Over the years, Jim Carrey has proven many times that he can not only make you laugh, but also perform in more dramatic roles: “The Truman Show”, “Man on the Moon”, “Clearly in Love” – these are perfect examples of his outstanding skills.
In the spring of 2022, the actor announced that he would appear in the film “Sonic 2. Fast as Lightning” may be his last in his career. “I’m retiring. Probably. I’m serious,” Carrey admitted during a visit to “Access Hollywood.”
However, he left a loophole, emphasizing that there is a chance of returning:
“If the angels send me a script written in golden ink that makes me believe that it can make an important film, maybe I will continue my adventure (with acting). But now I’m taking a break”
Was there a magical scenario?
It turns out that Jim Carrey’s retirement was extremely short. The actor returns to the role of Robotnik in “Sonic 3: Lightning Fast” and explains why he made such a decision.
“(The comment about the gold ink) may have been hyperbole. I came back to this universe because I get to play a genius. Besides, I bought a lot of things and honestly, I need the money,” Carrey said on the red carpet, but who knows, maybe this answer also was “hyperbole”?
“Sonic 3: Lightning Fast” will hit theaters on January 3, 2025.
