“喜剧之王”金·凯瑞，60岁了！
He is the one who says on the big screen, "If I can't see you again, I wish you a good morning, good afternoon and good night", from the movie "Truman's World" starring him.
Born on January 17, 1962, the Hollywood "King of Comedy" who was the same age as Stephen Chow was once the most influential actor in the 1990s.
At the same time, because he not only made memorable in comedy films, but also gave unforgettable performances in many different types of films, he also became one of the most respected movie stars.
Obviously, he is a handsome man, but he relies on talent.

Time is always in a hurry, and before it is too late to savor the work of Kim Carey, he is already "old". But I believe that in the memory of many viewers, it is always his handsome and changeable face.
(Present and Past)
Kim Carey was a Hollywood A-list superstar early on, earning $20 million in film remuneration for "Ace Commissioner" as early as the 1990s (which is one of the standards for Hollywood's A-list star salaries), becoming a superstar for "Stranger in Disguise", and winning the Golden Globe twice for "Truman's World" and "The Man on the Moon".
Because the performance style is exaggerated and nonsensical, good at using the shell of comedy to satirize reality and express human nature, which is endlessly evocative, some people have compared him with the same age as the Chinese Hong Kong comedy star Stephen Chow, and even fans have discussed on the Internet about who is better.
But the more people who bring happiness to others, in real life, they often hide the pain very deeply.
Kim Carey suffered from depression for a long time, and in 2004 he revealed his experience of fighting the disease through media interviews.
It wasn't until 2017 that Jim Carrey, who was in her fifties, returned to film and television with the documentary "Kim Carey and Andy Kaufman: Beyond the Great."
The documentary tells the story behind The Story of Kim Carey's 1999 portrayal of his idol and comedian Andy Kaufman in the film Man on the Moon, with a Douban score of 8.9.

"My life is a series of devastating despairs."

In the play, Kim Carey plays a children's show host: Jeff. Every day, he had to pretend to smile in front of the TV and the children in the audience who did not want to see him, and he also had to face the already broken family and the rest of his life.
Behind the performance of making fun in pain and forcing joy, Jim Carrey plays life itself, and the Douban score of the play is as high as 9 points.
In 2020, the well-received "Joke" filmed and broadcast the second season, this time with a high score of 9.1 on Douban.
In the same year, Kim Carey starred in "Sonic the Hedgehog", and he played the evil scientist Dr. Egghead, which reminded people of the exaggerated and funny him in the past.
