WTF Happened to JIM CARREY?

In our latest WTF series, we take a look at some of our favorite stars and filmmakers who have seemingly disappeared or altered their careers over the years to the point that begs the question; WTF happened? Now, before you think we're just picking on celebrities or running some gossip rag stuff, think again! We take a fun (and sometimes funny), researched and fair approach, looking at all angles that led our subject to wherever they are now (which isn't necessarily a bad place at all). If anything, it answers the question on where these fine folks went, how they got there and where you can find 'em now.
In our latest episode we tackle the ultra funnyman Jim Carrey, who has built an empire out of his rubber-faced comedic antics, leaving a long list of fan-favorite films in his wake. Carrey started out like most comedians, doing stand-up, before landing a role on the TV ensemble In Living Color, which rocketed him to Hollywood. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective lit the fuse and from there the actor stacked gem after gem onto his resume. Then, Carrey tried his hand at some more dramatic fare with both good and not-so-good results. Then, his work became more sporadic and he began to develop his tastes as an artist and painter, while dealing with some personal issues as well. But, Carrey can't be kept down and continues to reemerge from time to time to show that he's still here and still got what it takes, even though we still have to ask the question; WTF Happened to Jim Carrey?

Jim Carrey only made the Grinch because of his daughter, he has said in interviews he played the roll for her and would have done it for free, so any critique of it didn't matter to him, as long as his daughter enjoyed it.

The Cable Guy was such a fantastic film. Its definitely what made me like him.

[@maxwanders]

you are right, but getting an Oscar is like joining a ferternity. It looks cool to everyone else and on paper, but the person joining has no idea what they are getting into. I personally think Jim Carrey could care less receiving anything but they money he deserved so he could do what he wanted to do in life. A free spirit. Maybe his perormance should entilte him to an Oscar, but who really cares about that anyway. As Jim would say in the Mask, "They love me, they realllly love me." 🥰🙄

And while I'm no Hollywood insider, I'd be willing to bet that included in that contract were provisions for being available for promotion of the finished product. However, my larger point was that if he felt the movie's ethics were lacking because it "glorified gun violence", then why are you even willing to act in it? Why create a product that you are unwilling to be proud to promote? For example, if I think that recreational use of Meth is bad, I'm not going to help someone set up a Meth Lab, then later say with grandiose condescension, "Oh, I don't believe in taking Meth, it ruins lives..."

I like Adam Sandler but his style is also old and I think he realizes that since he is taking on more credible roles. But to look back on both of them you realize that almost every movie is the same thing as the last one, the result causing it to lose a little more luster with each new release.

The Cable Guy is my favorite Carrey movie. I think his reputation did the film a disservice because people were expecting the same tone as Ace Ventura.

A thoughtful and fitting tribute to a great man, who seems to be at peace with himself now. My favorite Jim Carrey quote goes something like this; 'I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer.' Pretty sure he tried backing out of his blood oath that most if not all entertainers have to sign to get to the top. A close friend of mine explained it something like this, once they discover your weakness they exploit it and use it against you. This gentleman came through the side door into Hollywood as a bodyguard and was so personable that he quickly started working for personalities like Janet Jackson and Prince, who he later worked for almost exclusively. One night at Prince's nightclub he was upstairs doing some paperwork and an impeccably dressed Man walked up and started talking to him, it was more of a getting to know you conversation but he couldn't help but notice that "Not a hair was out of place, not a stitch of his $10,000 suit was a miss. Shortly after he was brought into the boardroom and all he could tell me was that he had to sign a document or else he had to quit the business. That was when I reconnected with him back home where we came from, and he is still a bit tight-lipped about it all.

Laughter without joy. Carrey eventually developed contempt for his audience.

[@mikeburch2998]

Very true.

[@deer-derf]

He looks like joji

[@lorriesmith6290]

He seems like a very angry man. But aren't their too many great comics who are severely depressed or otherwise angry? They draw comedy from their pain

[@nowvoyagerNE]

UnderdogFL: absolutely! thank you!!!

[@nowvoyagerNE]

@@lorriesmith6290 : i very much agree that he was a very angry man. but you and i don't get to abuse our customers just because we may be depressed. the majority of us working stiffs leave that stuff at home. Jim didn't. he ruined his relationship with his audience, and he paid the price.

[@ryancarpenterjr6578]

If we really look at hilarious actors or comedians, most will have depression. We saw this in Robin Williams, so we must show the actors love and be there for them in thick and thin.

[@leersay]

doug nut very true but the majority of regular people are not under a microscope like celebrities - I’m not saying their issues are more credible or bigger than those who aren’t famous - just look at brendan fraser, a man who was absolutely demolished by critical reviews professionally and emotionally, with support from die hard fans and second chances from studios he’s making his way back

[@fozzieatdetourbillnye5514]

I'm a comedian who has depression so I can confirm this.

[@suffix0993]

Robin Williams wasn’t depressed really, he mostly felt like a burden to his family and friends since he was having health problems that made him have trouble speaking and stuff.

[@huhsaidcj.1837]

FozzieatDetour BillNye ? Who are tou

[@penguinking4830]

"we must show the actors love". Maybe that is part of the problem. Love the work, hate the work. But that isn't who they are. Because of my job I worked with many famous people. I treated them with respect just like I do with everyone I work with. And that was all anyone wants. Treat them like real people and you'll see real people. Idolize them and they will be distant, aloof and cautious. People want something from famous people. Their picture, their autograph, a moment of their time. Stop it. They gave at the office. Being with famous people is enlightening. They aren't magical. They have nothing that will rub off on you. Stop trying to give them something so they will give you something incredible in return.

Do want to mention that Jim Carrey wasn't the token Caucasian on In Living Color. Kelly Coffield was also on the show and it really was a huge cultural phenomenon!

[@Briguy164]

My favorite skit from the show was Jim playing a construction worker talking smack about gays but he knew to much about gay culture and the clubs they frequent

[@nicholaiginovaef4861]

I remember an old interview where Jim said he snapped one day (before he got famous) and brought a baseball bat to work to beat down the first person that pissed him off. I think of that every time I see him.. I think he said he was a janitor or some kind of custodian at the time

[@allanbrown7593]
