Jim Carrey: a biography
Actor Jim Carrey is rightfully considered one of the best comedians of our time.
He has occupied a unique niche in Hollywood and for many years pleases the audience with his funny roles, which are especially spectacular given by the indescribable facial expressions and plasticity of the artist.
But despite the constant humor in the movies, Kerry's life can hardly be called fun and easy.
His path to celebrity was thorny and full of pitfalls, which the movie star passed with dignity.
A boy named Jim was born in early 1962 in a large family in the city of Newmarket.
He became the fourth child in the family of Catherine and Percy Kerry, who at least poorly supported their children.
His mother once worked as a singer, but was forced to do household chores, raising children, so she did not return to her profession.
My father was a successful accountant and the main breadwinner in the family.
From a young age, the future movie star loved to entertain others with parody.
Jim made funny faces, which invariably caused smiles on the faces of classmates and teachers.
Jim recorded his parodies on camera, and when they accumulated more than 80 pieces, he ventured to send them to the popular humor show Carol Barnett.
At that time, the boy was only 11 years old.
However, he did not receive an invitation to a TV program or at least an elementary answer to his letters.
The actor's family lived poorly, but the boy learned about the real problems with money at the age of 14.
Jim's father was fired from his job, and the family had to travel around the country in search of earnings.
They stopped in a suburb of Toronto, where the elder Kerry got a job as a security guard at a firm.
Alas, his earnings were decidedly not enough, and the children also had to work as cleaners.
At the same time, the young comedian was waiting for his first disappointment in the professional field.
His father took him to the local club "Yak Yak", where Jim had the opportunity to perform on stage with his number
The audience actually booed the future Hollywood star.
This was the last straw for Jim, and he stopped performing, withdrawing into himself.
Fortunately, the period of failures and hardships passed for the Kerry family, the children quit their hated job, and the father found another source of income.
The couple had to live in a trailer, but it was a small price to pay for liberation from disrespectful labor.
Jim went to Eldershot High School and gradually got rid of his isolation, and also found a good job at a steel mill.
In 1979, the future actor, having no musical education, founded the group "Spoons", playing in the style of"new wave".
He also finally ventured back on the stage in the same club, which he left in disgrace a few years ago.
But this time the audience was more favorable to the young talent.
Under his patronage, he was taken by the manager Litrais Spivak, who made him a real celebrity of the institution.
People from all over Toronto came to his performance, critics with one voice called the actor a "rising star".
On the stage of the Yak Yak club, Jim was noticed by another famous comedian Rodney Dangerfield and offered to perform with him "as an opening act” in Las Vegas.
Jim agreed to the offer, but he worked with Rodney for a very short time, as he was attracted to Hollywood, which was now very close.
So Kerry ended up in Los Angeles, where he began working in the Comedy Shop humor club and actively attended all the auditions available to him.
Jim Carrey: Movies Kerry's debut on television took place in the humorous stand up show "An Evening at the Improv" in 1982.
Some time later, Jim was invited to the late night talk show "The Tonight Show".
But the future actor dreamed of a "big meter" and participation in full fledged films.
In 1983, his dream partially came true, Kerry was offered the main role of a young comedian in the film "Rubber Face" and another tape called "Mount Kupper".
Both films were low budget and were released for home viewing.
In 1984, the artist was invited to the children's animated sitcom "Duck Factory", which was closed a month later But during its short existence, the show managed to give Jim a lot of useful acquaintances and draw the attention of not the last directors in Hollywood to him.
Then Jim met director Clint Eastwood, who invited the comedian to his club to parody him and other famous people.
For some time, the artist really worked in the club, but later said that he did not want to become famous by parodying others.
The real success and the first world fame came to Kerry after his participation in the comedy "Ace Ventura: The Search for pets" in 1993.
The film came out very ambiguous, from the very beginning it was haunted by problems: the most famous comedians refused to take part in it, and Jim agreed to the role only on the condition of a complete reworking of the script and the image of his main character.
The picture was very popular with the audience, the box office in many ways exceeded the budget, and Kerry received his first award "MTV Movie Awards".
But the critics were not so favorable, they smashed the tape to smithereens, and the actor himself was awarded the "Golden Raspberry" as the worst new star.
Subsequent films with Jim's participation could not leave even critics indifferent: the films "Mask" and "Dumb even dumber" became world hits, giving huge fame and love to a rising Hollywood star.
Kerry's buffoonery turned out to be more than appropriate in the film "The Mask", where his main character from time to time turns into the green faced god Loki.
No less successful role of the actor was the character Fletcher Reed from the film "Liar, liar", released in 1997.
For the sake of this role, Jim refused another equally interesting film "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery".
Curiously, this was the first picture where the audience could see the real hair color of their favorite actor, before that, Kerry was shot either in wigs with unthinkable hairstyles, or with wild flower hair.
The film earned him a second Golden Globe nomination and another award from the MTV channel.
Kerry achieved great fame as a comedian.
Most of the roles played by him have a humorous subtext.
In 2007, Jim decided to experiment and took part in Joel Schumacher's mystical thriller "The Fatal number 23".
Alas, but critics again absolutely did not appreciate the actor's performance and nominated him for the Golden Raspberry.
Another atypical role for Jim was the role in the drama "I love you, Phillip Morris", where he played Stephen Russell, a guy with a non traditional orientation.
There were a lot of problems with the film, because of the very frank scenes, it was refused to be shown in cinemas for a long time, but still it was released in 2010.
Fans and critics reacted to the film rather coolly, and Kerry returned to shooting comedies again.
Jim Carrey: Personal life In 1983, Kerry dated singer Linda Ronstadt for about 8 months, but their relationship did not work out, and they broke up.
In 1987, the actor met, and later proposed to the former actress and waitress of the "Comedy Store" Melissa Womer.
In September of the same year, the couple had a daughter, Jane Erin.
Unfortunately, the couple's relationship was not always smooth and was often accompanied by serious quarrels, which in 1995 led to a divorce.
Kerry had to pay her ex wife $ 7 million in compensation.
The divorce seriously affected his mental health, the actor fell into depression and began to use antidepressants, which soon stopped helping him.
Then Jim took a decisive step towards a healthy lifestyle and took up sports, replacing antidepressants with vitamins.
Kerry remarried a year later.
His chosen one was the actress Lauren Holly, but this marriage turned out to be short lived: after 10 months they divorced.
Later, Jim met with many famous Hollywood ladies, including actress Renee Zellweger and fashion model Jenny McCarthy.
In February 2010, Kerry became a grandfather, his daughter Jane gave birth to a boy named Jackson Riley.
