Jim Carrey announced retirement; I’ve done enough?

In a recent interview with Access Hollywood, via Variety, Carrey elaborated about his retirement. The Truman Show actor revealed, "Well, I’m retiring. Yeah, probably. I’m being fairly serious." He elaborated that unless a great script knocks on his door that inspires him and feels important enough for people to see, he will stay off the turf as shared. Carrey explained that he enjoys his quiet life, even revels in "putting paint on canvas" and loves his spiritual life. He went on and added, "this is something you might never hear another celebrity say as long as time exists — I have enough. I’ve done enough. I am enough."

The actor then said “it depends”, telling the outlet: “If the angels bring some sort of script that’s written in gold ink that says to me that it’s going to be really important for people to see, I might continue down the road, but I’m taking a break.”

Carrey has taken long breaks from major acting roles in the past. His role in the first Sonic the Hedgehog film in 2020 was his first major role since the Dumb and Dumber sequel, which was released in 2014.

Meanwhile, Carrey is being called a “hypocrite” for saying that Will Smith “should have been” arrested in the wake of hitting Chris Rock at the Oscars during the ceremony on Sunday .Due to his comments, a video showing Carrey forcibly kissing an uncomfortable-looking then 20-year-old Alicia Silverstone at the MTV Movie Awards in 1997 surfaced online.
