Jim Carrey Raises Eyebrows Over Unrecognizable ‘Puffy’ Look

Jim Carrey sparked a wave of surprise among fans when he appeared at the 51st César Awards looking noticeably different from how they remembered him.

The actor was at the event to receive an honorary award, but it was his unexpected facial transformation that drew the most attention. Fans quickly voiced concerns about whether he had gone under the knife, with one even asking if he was wearing a mask.

On Thursday, actor Jim Carrey stepped out in Paris for the César Awards, which are considered France’s highest film honors.

Dressed in an all-black suit and wearing his hair in a laid-back style, Carrey looked effortlessly stylish, though he chose to skip speaking to the press on the red carpet.

While attending the event, Carrey was more than just a guest. He was also a recipient, accepting an honorary César in recognition of his decades-long contribution to the film industry.

He now joins a prestigious list of other Hollywood stars who have won an Honorary César, such as Julia Roberts, Christopher Nolan, Kevin Costner, George Clooney, and Quentin Tarantino.

However, the milestone moment was punctuated by fans focusing on how different the actor looked, which echoed the same reactions from his rare public appearance at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony last November.

Many fans claimed that the actor was unrecognizable compared to the individual they had grown accustomed to seeing in his movies, with some noting that his face seemed “puffy” and different.

“This is the French Carrey they sent,” one fan joked, “It’s all weird, funny, and depressing at the same time.”

“Maybe he’s trolling the world with a mask. I don’t know what else to believe. This is quite alarming,” a second user noted.

A third user said, “Did he do something to his face? his face looks weird,” while a fourth noted, “That’s not Jim Carrey. Even the mannerisms are not of Jim Carrey. WTF is this fraud?”

Some individuals outright suggested that the actor had gone under the knife to achieve the shocking transformation.

“It’s Jim Carrey, people. He just got veneers and Botox or some work done on his face. That’s all,” one wrote. “Plus, he’s older too.”

Upon receiving the award, Carrey delivered an emotional speech in French, which left everyone surprised and impressed.

“As an actor, each character you play is like clay in the sculptor’s hands, which you shape to your heart’s desire,” Carrey told attendees, per reports.

He continued, “How fortunate I have been to share this art with so many people who have truly opened their hearts to me.”

Carrey also opened up about his family roots, revealing that his ancestor, Marc-François Carré, was born in Saint-Malo, France, before emigrating to Canada centuries ago.

He went on to say that the award had brought his family history “full circle,” before thanking his loved ones, including his partner, Min Ah, who accompanied him to the prestigious event.

“Thank you to my wonderful family, my daughter Jane, and my grandson Jackson. I love you now and forever. Thank you to my sublime companion, Min Ah,” Carrey said.
