Big Time Hollywood Comedian And Actor Jim Carrey Announces Retirement
Los Angeles, April 1: Famed comedian and actor Jim Carrey has made the big announcement that he is retiring from his long time acting career after he finishes shooting his upcoming film “Sonic The Hedgehog 2”.
During a conversation with Access Hollywood, the 60-year-old actor said, “I am retiring. I am being fairly serious”.
He went on to explain, “It depends. If the angels bring some sort of script that’s written in gold ink, that says to me that it’s going to be really important for people to see, I might. I might continue down the road, but I’m taking a break”. “I really like my quiet life, and I really love putting paint on canvas, and I really love my spiritual life, and I feel like — and this is something you might never hear another celebrity say as long as time exists — I have enough”, Jim continued.
He then stressed, “I’ve done enough. I am enough.” Still, considering who Jim Carrey is and what time it is now, this may very well be an April Fool’s joke. The announcement came a few days after Carrey weighed in on Will Smith and Chris Rock’s headline producing moment at the Oscars where the former slapped the latter with polarizing results and a boost in Oscars viewership. “I was sickened by the standing ovation (when Will later took home the award for Best Actor),” he told host Gayle King during an interview with ‘CBS Mornings’ on March 29. “I felt like Hollywood is just spineless en masse. It really felt like, ‘Oh, this is a really clear indication that we’re not the cool club anymore”.
Carrey also said that if he’d been in Chris’ position, he’d do the same as Chris as he didn’t “want the hassle” that came with filing a police report.
However, the ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind’ star noted that he’d like to sue Will. “I’d have announced this morning that I was suing Will for $200 million because that video is going to be there forever,” he explained, “It’s going to be ubiquitous. You know, that insult is going to last a very long time”.
Jim then shared that he believed the moment “didn’t escalate.” He elaborated, “It came out of nowhere because Will has something going on inside him that’s frustrating, and I wish him the best. I really do.” The actor is noted for his immense contributions to the comedy genre in Hollywood and his success in dramatic roles.
Some of his most notable films include “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective”, “Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls”, “Liar Liar”, “Dumb and Dumber “, “The Mask”, “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”, “Batman Forever “, “A Christmas Carol”, “Man on the Moon”, “The Truman Show”, “Doing Time on Maple Drive”, “Mr. Popper’s Penguins” etc.
