Jim Carrey has inspired fans everywhere. Some of those fans grew up to be icons themselves. An example of that would be Ariana Grande, who has admitted that she’s a massive fan of Carrey. In 2019, Grande posted an image of Carrey, adding that Carrey has been an inspiration for her.
Carrey saw the tweet and responded with a lovely tweet of his own. Grande was speechless and could only say, “I can’t process this or breathe. Hold on.” The singer had a starring role in season 2 of “Kidding.”
Jane Carrey
As the daughter of Melissa Womer and Jim Carrey, Jane is no stranger to the performing arts. Trying to carve out her own space in the entertainment industry, Jane found herself as a singer.
Though her father's popularity has, of course, taken its toll, she remains grounded as ever. Jane is now a mother herself and has been married and divorced.
A Mentor
As a seasoned celebrity, Jim Carrey knows all too well the many pitfalls of glamorous Hollywood. This is why he has taken to the role of mentor for other stars on a similar path. Carrey had some priceless advice for Chris Pratt when Pratt asked Carrey what the next step in his career should be.
Carrey responded, "There's going to be a point in life where you are going to have to prove that your family is more important to you than show business." Pratt immediately took his first break from acting and spent more time with his family.
Saturday Night Live
You may recall that Jim Carrey's 1980 SNL audition instead bombed and didn't even make it beyond the initial filter. Lorne Michaels admitted years later that he didn't even receive the tape. Perhaps things would have gone differently had he seen it? Who knows! But that didn't matter.
That's because Carrey made his comeback. In addition to hosting in 2011, Carrey appeared as President Joe Biden in the famous election episode. The choice seemed to be in response to the famous decision made by Lorne Michaels to outsource the two presidential candidates (Baldwin has been famously portraying Trump). It's safe to say that both Bidens won that month.
Staying Positive
Jim Carrey's life has had its ups and downs. no doubt. An actor that has that much emotional range is bound to pretty complex. It hasn't always been easy to stay afloat, but the actor, through thick and thin, has put making people laugh above everything.
Whatever the situation, Carrey will try to bring a smile to your face, which is why he remains one of the funniest comedians in the industry, no matter the role.
