Biography of Jim Carrey
(1962)
A strange gait and a "rubber" face.
That's all he has to make you roll on the floor and burst into tears of laughter.
He is the greatest comedian of our time.
No, it's not Eddie Murphy.
Meet Jim Carrey!
Jim Carrey's biography is shrouded in gossip, but I will try to tell you only proven facts.
So, let's start…
On January 17, 1962, the unsurpassed James Eugene Kerry was born in the city of New Market (in Canada).
For his family, the phrase "financial difficulty" described their existence.
And this was not surprising, since there were three other children in the family besides Jim, and his father worked only as an accountant.
Jim Carrey's family still managed to somehow make ends meet, until his father was fired.
After that, the family moved more than once, as a result, a tent became their home.
The children worked, who, where they could, in order to somehow help their parents.
Jim Carrey had to work full - time in a supermarket.
Because of this, he even fell asleep in class at school.
The guys who studied with him did not understand him.
After all, Kerry already had adult concerns.
Plus, Jim preferred to be at home and make faces at the mirror than to walk in the yard.
The antics gave him so much pleasure that he made 80 parodies of the Carol Barnett show at the age of 10.
These parodies were then sent by his father to this show.
As a result, Jim Carrey received a letter from the secretary.
Then the case had no consequences.
When Jim Carrey turned 15, his dad took him to a comedy club called "Yuk Yuk".
This is the place where most comedians started.
Jim also decided to try, but his first time failed miserably, it even came to throwing tomatoes.
It was a shock for the teenager.
But Jim Carrey didnot give up so easily.
He spent two years rehearsing a new number.
The second attempt was crowned with a resounding success.
From the first words and gestures, the audience held their stomachs, at the end of the performance, the entire audience cried with laughter.
This is not forgotten, soon rumors began to spread about him as one of the budding comedians.
Offers to play minor roles in TV series and films began to appear.
At the age of 19, he Kerry became the best parodist according to People magazine, in addition, he got a role in the TV series "Duck Factory".
For joy, Jim moved his parents from Canada to Hollywood, but, unfortunately, after more than 3 months, the "Duck Factory" was closed, the money ran out, and the parents had to be sent back to Canada.
For Jim Carrey, this was a serious blow to his ego.
From that moment on, he made a promise to conquer America and become the best of the best.
In addition, his mother was seriously ill, and a lot of money was needed for treatment.
In 1985, he was lucky in time - Jim Carrey was invited to the shooting of the film "Once Bitten", and smiled in twins.
In addition to winning the audience with his performance, he also won the heart of an ordinary waitress, Melissa Womer, whom he later married in March 1987.
Just a few months later, the couple had a daughter, Jane.
Now Kerry has another incentive to succeed.
In 1991, Jim Carrey finally managed to convince the producer to entrust him with his own TV show.
And here comes the "Unnatural Act of Jim Carrey".
It was Kerry's triumph, which, unfortunately, his mother could not see – she died due to kidney failure, in November, a year before.
Jim Carrey's next project was "Ace Ventura: The Search for Pets" (1994).
None of the famous actors wanted to star in this picture.
But in vain.
In three weeks, the film's rental collected $ 38 million.
Many were stunned.
Kerry did not stop there, then the films "Mask" (20 million in the first week) and "Dumb and Dumber" (1994) came out.
It was with the help of these films that Jim showed that the face for him is plasticine, from which he can sculpt anything he wants.
But, unfortunately, this was not enough for his wife.
Despite the fact that Jim Carrey received $ 7 million for the tape "Dumb and Dumber", his wife, Melissa Womer, believed that this was not enough to provide for the family and constantly reproached Jim for not working enough.
As a result, Kerry ends up in the hospital due to overloading.
To this, his wife, entering the ward, asked: "Well, did you finish jumping?".
This was enough for Jim Carrey to understand that he made a mistake by marrying her.
In 1995.
they broke up.
Jim pledged to send his wife $ 10,000 every month for the maintenance of his daughter.
In the same year, he starred in the film "Ace Ventura: The Call of Nature" (1995).
The continuation of "Ace Ventura" is more successful (in terms of finances) than the first part and brings about $ 40 million in 2 days.
Jim Carrey is beginning to be considered a "box office" actor.
After the divorce, Jim wanted to take off his "comedian's mask" and play more serious roles.
Therefore, he starred in the movie "Batman forever" (1995).For his role in this film, Kerry was called "The Best Villain".
As opposed to success in his career, he was clearly unlucky in his personal life.
His second choice was the actress Lauren Hawley, who was Kerry's partner in "Dumb and Dumber".
Unfortunately, she had the same" syndrome " as Melissa – she saw in Jim Carrey only a famous rich comedian and nothing more.
In order for our hero to understand this, it took a little less than a year.
And again the divorce.
And again, a career takeoff.
A whole series of hits from Jim showered on the audience: "Cable Guy" (1996), "Liar, Liar" (1997), "The Truman Show" (1998) "Man on the Moon" (1999).
This time it was like an explosion.
Now Kerry's fee was $ 20 million, that is, he became the most expensive paid comedian in the world.
But happiness is not in money…
The third time, it seemed, was lucky - Renee Zellweger was different than everyone else.
Money for her was the last thing in a man.
She liked to achieve everything herself.
Her single mindedness charmed everyone, including Jim Carrey.
His first mistakes were unsuccessful.
Even his long tongue was not able to persuade her to at least have dinner together.
But one day she "broke".
And their romance began to develop rapidly, like a hurricane, logically the end of which was the wedding.
At first everything was fine, but the further, the more Zellweger noticed that Kerry did not open up to her completely, but lived in a "mask", under which a tired and irritable person was hiding.
After a frank conversation, Renee left Jim.
So the woman he loved the most left him…
After parting with Zellweger, Jim Carrey starred in"Bruce Almighty".
The film turned out to be excellent.
The audience was crazy about their favorite.
The critics clapped their hands, but for Kerry it no longer made sense, just like the money.
He started doing charity work and wasting money.
Yes, the world was his, but what was the point of it for him?
After" Bruce Almighty", Kerry's affairs began to decline – he lost the light in his eyes.
Since 2004.
his special and unnoticeable, although he starred in a sufficient number of films - "Lemony Snicket: 33 misfortunes" (2004), " Scammers: Dick and Jane are having fun" (2005), "The Fatal Number 23" (2007), "Trouble free" (2008), "Horton" (2008).
They're not bad, like a picture, but they lack the passion with which Jim started his career.
In 2009, the film "I love you, Phillip Morris" was released, but it did not change the situation either.
It seems that the star has begun to fade.
By the way, in 2009.
Jim Carrey will become a grandfather – his daughter from Melissa, Jane (21g.), is expecting a child.
Perhaps this will inspire Jim and in 2010 in the film "Believe it or not" Kerry will be able to rehabilitate himself in front of the audience.
Let's hope so.
Jim Carrey's filmography is great, but I'm sure you havenot even heard of most of his films.
And, nevertheless, I will still post the full filmography of Jim Carrey.
