Jim Carrey BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Jim Carrey is making headlines again this week, blending his trademark humor with the kind of candor that always keeps the industry guessing. At the London premiere of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, he told the Associated Press he returned as Doctor Robotnik because, “I get to play a genius, which is a bit of a stretch. And, you know, it’s just… I bought a lot of stuff and I need the money, frankly. Yeah.” Carrey’s tongue-in-cheek confession contrasts with his previous hints at retirement back in 2022, when he told Access Hollywood he planned to step away unless a truly irresistible script came along. That wobbly line between retirement and a grand return has become one of the year’s running gags in Hollywood, especially as his Doctor Robotnik performance is already attracting attention prior to the film’s December release, a move that could shape the next chapter of his career according to Deadline Film + TV. But Sonic’s not the only old flame potentially being rekindled. Carrey just revealed in an interview with ComicBook and picked up by IMDb that he’s open to a sequel of The Mask, the 1994 smash hit, but only “if somebody had the right idea.” He stressed it isn’t “about the money,” admitting that for him, the creative spark takes precedence over paychecks. This coy openness has already led to a new wave of speculation online and turned The Mask sequel into one of the most-watched entertainment talking points of the week. Carrey also made waves by revisiting his criticism of Hollywood’s response to the infamous Oscars slap incident. According to Variety Film + TV, he told Gayle King he was “sickened” by the standing ovation for Will Smith after Smith’s altercation with Chris Rock, calling Hollywood “spineless en masse.” These remarks have reignited debates on awards show etiquette, with Carrey’s voice cutting through the noise as both icon and sometimes-industry-outsider.Social media is bubbling, too. Last week, Pete Davidson went on Hot Ones and credited Carrey with “punching up” his first big SNL sketch—Zombie Apocalypse High School—by taking comedic risks live on air, a moment Davidson remembers as both frightening and career-defining. Meanwhile, online buzz recently reignited over Carrey turning down a $5 million Super Bowl ad cameo, proving that decisions he makes offscreen also capture as much attention as his onscreen antics, with Instagram users describing the move as classically unpredictable.Businesswise, no new major ventures have been reported, but the dual return to both big IP sequels and headline-grabbing interviews keeps Carrey’s name at the front of industry conversations. As for those relentless rumors swirling on some sites about his personal life or possible roles in Jurassic World: Rebirth, nothing has been verified by primary entertainment outlets—so until Jim says it, Hollywood can only speculate.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
