Jim Carrey, the beloved comedian and actor, recently addressed a slew of rumors surrounding his personal and professional life in a video that has caught the internet’s attention. Known for his roles in iconic films such as "Liar Liar" and "Dumb and Dumber," Carrey took a moment to clear up misconceptions that have been circulating in the media.

In the video, Carrey humorously debunked claims about his earnings and personal relationships. "90% of what you're reading is absolute garbage," Carrey stated, emphasizing the inaccuracy of reports suggesting he makes $7 million per picture. With his characteristic wit, he quipped, "I wouldn't even rehearse for less than nine."

Another point of contention was Carrey’s reported romantic involvement with his "Dumb and Dumber" co-star, Lauren Holley. Carrey mockingly questioned where such stories originated, humorously pointing out that their frequent companionship did not equate to a romantic relationship. "I mean, so we sleep together four or five times a week. Does that mean we're romantically involved? Of course not. No, no. We're just good friends. Sleeping buddies," he joked.

Carrey also addressed a particularly egregious rumor about his attitude towards competition in the film industry. A fabricated quote suggested he wished ill upon his peers to secure better scripts. Carrey clarified that such statements were entirely off the record and not reflective of his true sentiments.

The video has sparked various reactions online. One viewer expressed gratitude for the entertainment, saying, "Thank you for the entertainment this lovely Sunday morning." Another reminisced about Carrey's memorable appearances, including his Saturday Night Live stints and award acceptance speeches, noting, "Hard to believe the 90s were 10 years ago."

However, not all comments were positive. Some users brought up Carrey's controversial stance on vaccines, referencing a detailed article from Time. Others reflected on their personal connections to Carrey's work, with one user sharing, "I didn't have a dad growing up and would watch 'Liar Liar' everyday for months just for the father figure."

Despite the mixed reactions, Carrey's video undeniably underscores the importance of questioning the reliability of media sources and the value of hearing directly from the individuals involved.

This candid and humorous exposé by Jim Carrey serves as a reminder to scrutinize the information presented in the media and highlights the comedian's enduring charm and wit.

I saw this and most of his absolutely glorious appearances here and there back in the day, his SNL stints, his acceptance speeches, etc., knowing even then how f***ing instantly classic and magical they were… hard to believe the 90s were 10 years ago… *sigh*
