When the date of April 1 approaches, we are always wary. However, it was this Thursday, March 31 that Jim Carrey gave an interview to the American media Access Hollywood as part of the promotion of the film Sonic 2 in which he plays Eggman. When asked by the journalist about singer Dolly Parton’s desire to see Jim Carrey play her partner Porter Wagoner in his biopic, the actor replied that he was probably going to put an end to his career.
“I am retiring. Yeah, probably… I’m pretty serious, he announced. It depends… It depends… If the angels bring me a script written with golden ink, and which will mark the public for sure, I could continue, but I’m taking a break. »
” I have enough “
In the rest of the interview, Jim Carrey explains that he appreciates “his quiet and spiritual life” and that he likes “to put paint on canvases”. “I feel – and this is something you’ll never hear from a celebrity – that I’ve had enough. I have done enough things. I’ve had enough,” he said.
This announcement comes just days after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock on the Oscars stage. Asked by CBS, Jim Carrey explained that he was “disgusted” by the standing ovation granted in favor of the actor. “Hollywood is weak. I felt like that was definitely a sign that we’re not the cool club anymore,” he said. This doesn’t really sound like an April Fool’s joke.
