A few days ago, the US election had just come to an end, and a spoof video spread across the Internet. In the video, several actors from the famous American comedy show "Saturday Night Live" play Biden, Trump and He Jinli, imitating their appearance when the election results were announced.

The protagonist of the video, the person who imitated Biden, became more and more familiar the more he looked. Look closely, isn't this Jim Carrey?!

Of course, we have the impression that he should be like this:

Or something like this

As the king of American comedy, Jim Carrey's face seems to represent funny, energetic, and never-ending laughter.

In countless 80s and 90s childhoods, comedy genius Jim Carrey turned out in Hollywood and quickly became famous, and at that time, the movies he starred in were almost equal to box office guarantees.

He also quickly became the highest-grossing man among Hollywood's A-list stars. At that time, almost every year, Jim Carrey's exaggerated facial expressions, like the New Year's eve stalls that arrived on time, would surely appear in the cinema.

Do you remember "Detective Plane Head"? This is the first movie starring Jim Carrey, I didn't expect to soar from then on, and the stems and shapes in it are still the objects of imitation.

The crazy and eccentric image in "Stranger in Disguise" has become an insurmountable classic, and has won the Golden Globe Award in one fell swoop (it is estimated that it is also the childhood shadow of many people)

In "Dumb and Dumb", he contributed countless memes

In "The King of Big Talk", he successfully played the lawyer father who ran the train with his mouth full of mouths, and his acting skills were superb

In "Counterfeit Gods", he directly played the role of the trainee god and laughed at the dead

People who have seen this scene of passionate typing have vividly remembered it

The more classic is definitely "Truman's World", which is the first time That Kim has stayed away from comedy in a science fiction work, forming a phenomenon-level discussion

The phrase "If I never see you again, then I wish you a good morning, a good afternoon, and a good night" has also become a classic line that everyone will recite

After that, with Kate Winslet's "Eternal Sunshine of a Beautiful Mind", it was a major peak of his acting skills, and it was called one of the top 100 classic performances in Hollywood

And "I Love You, Morris," which worked with Ivan, also tried gay characters for the first time

But looking at it, do you also have this question: Where did Jim Carrey go? It's been years since I've seen him star in a movie, what is he doing now?

Behind Kim Carey's comedy career is a tragic life that never stops...

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">

01 Use humor to dissolve the dark childhood

</h1>

As the saying goes, geniuses have their own flaws, and what Jim Carrey lacks most may be a happy childhood. From a very young age, he was used to struggling with fear.

Kim was born into a poor family in Canada, his parents were heavy smokers, and his health was very bad. When he was a child, Jin always felt that they were so fragile that they could die at any time, so he often locked himself in the bathroom and cried.

He didn't know how to talk about the fear of loved ones leaving him, and what was worse was that his mother loved to use death as a joke and always exaggerated her physical condition to her children at the dinner table.

At age 7, my mother would say, "My brain is deteriorating at an incredible rate, my angina is committing again, and I can die at any moment." ”

Young Jin lives in fear every day, with no one to help him, and he must learn to live with this fear.

Jim Carrey and sister

When he grew up, he understood that his mother joked about death just to get the love and attention of his family, and although the price of this love made Kim's childhood full of pain, he still hoped that his mother could be happy and live a long life.

For the sake of his mother, he became a clown. When his mother was unwell and bedridden, he would learn all kinds of strange animals, make all kinds of grimaces and funny performances to make her mother happy. He felt that this was the only way he could do it to make his family feel better.

He often looks in the mirror for an hour or two, practicing funny expressions, so he loses a lot of opportunities to make friends with his peers. But every time he performed at home, the laughter he received told him that maybe he was a comedic talent.

At that time, Kim was only ten years old, and he wrote to carol Burnett Show, the talk show that year, hoping to show his 150 voice imitations on the show. Carol Burnett herself was surprised, but for the child who was still in elementary school, she rejected Kim in a reply letter, telling him: "Stay in school and study well." ”

Unfortunately, King soon lost the opportunity to study.

His father, who was an accountant, was unemployed and the family had no financial resources. All the children, including those who had just entered high school, went to a nearby factory to work as cleaners to make ends meet.

Kim used to be a good student at the top of his class, but the factory work was too intensive, and he kept skipping class in order to make money, and his grades plummeted. King understood that it was almost impossible for him to change his fate by reading.

He had to drop out of school and work in the factory all day, but even then the burden on the family did not ease.

Soon after, the family left the factory, returned the house, and used their savings to buy a van so they could save money on rent. Kim and his family walked and stopped in the car, with no place to live.

He was 15 years old, and his comedic talent was taken in by a comedy club, where he would make a hot show every night for a few big-name comedians and earn some extra money.

It is gold that always shines, not to mention the incomparably dazzling comedic genius like Jim Carrey. More and more people came to the shop to watch him perform, and he has become a popular local actor.

In search of better development, King set his sights on the United States. In 1980, he made a stunning stand-up comedian appearance on The Tonight Show, and then became popular for starring in Saturday Night Live.

The family finally slowly improved under his efforts, and he set his sights on Hollywood. At that time, his career was smooth sailing, and it took almost only three or four years to become one of the highest-input actors in all of Hollywood, second only to the film emperor Tom Hanks.

It's still hard to find someone in america like Jim Carrey, funny, exaggerated, burning with life to entertain others, and that seems to be his life's mission. (Diagnosed with ADHD as a child, he was one of the causes of overactiveness.) ）

But smoothly, there is no projection outside the career. Kim's painful childhood brought him far more than he could have thought of—fear, and severe depression.

02 People who can't be in a long-term relationship

Like many Hollywood actors, Jim Carrey's love life is full of drama and argument.

His first marriage was with Melissa Womer, an actress who worked on Man on the Moon. Living together for seven years, the two raised a daughter.

When they got married, Jim Carrey hadn't been popular yet, but Womer had already discovered a problem with Kim.

Many people think that starting an intimate relationship with a comedian is full of joy. But as people say, "the core of comedy is tragedy", behind the creation of jokes, there are countless nights of suppressed pain.

Womer said Mr. Jim Carrey's depression was so severe that he often broke down so suddenly in the middle of the night that she needed counseling for him until four or five in the morning. Womer had been physically and mentally exhausted for a long time and eventually chose divorce.

King admits that he has never been free from loneliness, even after becoming famous. As a child he was either frantically learning or playing with himself, and he never realized the importance of socializing. Coupled with the impact of family problems, his mental condition is very poor, and it is difficult to maintain a long-term intimate relationship with anyone.

Shortly after divorcing his first wife, he remarried Lauren Holly, the actress of Dumb and Dumb, but ended up divorcing a few months later. Not only because of his severe depression, but also his explosion has attracted paparazzi everywhere to chase and intercept.

This led to his and his next few girlfriends not being able to cultivate the right results, and everyone found that Kim Carrey, who was so happy and lively on the big screen, had a heavy burden that was difficult to bear in private.

Jim Carrey and daughter

Before finding the man who was willing to help him share the fatal pain, he could only learn to get out of the pain on his own.

But before that, his life was once again hit hard. His girlfriend outside the circle, Cathriona White, committed suicide after the breakup.

03 After the ex-girlfriend committed suicide, she took a picture from the arts

In 2012, Cathriona, a makeup artist, fell in love with Jim Carrey, who, like Kinkerry, suffered a major depression and had attempted suicide.

In 2015, Cathriona committed suicide by taking a cocktail containing an overdose of drugs at her home in Los Angeles. Jim Carrey was shocked and saddened when she received the news. At the funeral, Kim became the one carrying the coffin for his girlfriend

。

Originally, the death of her lover had already hit Jim Carrey too hard, but she did not expect that the woman's family took the opportunity to come out and blackmail. They said that Jim Carrey had caused the death of his girlfriend, who had taken all the medications he had provided.

He even faked the case, saying that Jim Carrey's private life was chaotic during the relationship, so that Cathriona contracted three st. and then suffered from three st.

Falsification of medical record evidence

All these allegations have left the world in an uproar. Although evidence of falsified medical records was found shortly thereafter, the court dismissed the complaint of the woman's family on the grounds that the evidence was insufficient. But Jim Carrey's reputation has been irrevocably damaged, and of course the damage is even deeper in his heart.

He pleaded with the other's family not to spend his girlfriend's death anymore and to make money with Cathriona. So even if her reputation is damaged, Kim has not chosen to fight other lawsuits with her family. Since he was a child, he was afraid of life and death, but at this time he was turned over and over the scars.

Jim Carrey found that he could no longer bear the life of a Hollywood superstar, and for more than twenty years, he felt more and more that Hollywood was a circle of gold and jade, and he did not look at the rules of the circle and the injustices that happened inside. Coupled with increasing depression and doubts about his life, he chose to leave the film and television circle.

Many fans lamented his fading, but this period of disappearance was The best opportunity for Jim Carrey to heal. He had time to say goodbye to the impetuousness of the circle of music and find a way to reconcile with himself.

In this way, Jim Carrey threw herself into the art world and became a painter. In fact, when he was a child, her talent for comedy also developed at the same time as her talent for painting, but at that time she was very poor and had no money to paint.

After 2015, he bored himself at home to paint, paint his own life, paint dissatisfaction with the world, pungently satirize politicians with paintbrushes, and even opened large-scale painting exhibitions.

"When I really started painting, I became so obsessed that my home was full of paintings and there was nowhere to stay. They became part of my furniture, and I stood on it to eat. I guess I need color. "

He combines humor and art in his bones, and this time behind the scenes, he no longer has to tear open the skin of sadness to convey happiness or profundity to others. "I have to turn the uncomfortable things I see in this world into art," he said. ”

In his own documentary, he once threw out his lifelong haunting: "I feel like I'm not me, I've been playing other people all my life, and Jim Carrey is just the role I play." ”

In the midst of weirdness and madness, the real Kinkerry is like a strange geek in disguise, always hiding behind powerful energy, the aura of a superstar, and the legend of comedy.

Now, he has more time to find his true self, and for him comedy guru Jim Carrey is nothing more than a "great character" that has become history in his life. He will play someone else, and maybe he will find his true self.

The painter's new identity vents on the emotions that Jim Carrey has suppressed in his heart for decades, and he seems to have become much calmer.

He had a new relationship, he had art exhibitions, he occasionally picked up a few films, and he produced a children's book called "How Roland Was Made" to tell children how to face death so that they would no longer experience the fears he experienced as a child.

When the king leaves and returns again, Hollywood comedies have become yesterday's yellow flowers, and Jim Carrey has long lost the box office appeal of that year.

But in 2020, he returned to the Saturday Night Live team — back to where the dream began.

On a small stage, a comedy satirizing American politics is staged. Those applauses and laughter may also symbolize his strong return....
