Actor Jim Carrey (61) is known as one of the funniest in the world and has built a career on lively jokes and wild antics.
Reveals: – Placed in artificial coma
In reality he is a shy and reserved boy, who prefers others to be the center of attention. In an interview with CBS, the movie star revealed that he made fun of himself by cheering up his mother Kathleen when she was very ill.
– Mom was in bed taking painkillers. I wanted her to feel better. That’s why I made fun of her, she told meNo.

Lost my job
The “Grinchen” star grew up in Toronto, Canada, in a middle-class family with three older brothers. Her mother was a housewife and her father Percy supported the family as a musician and accountant.
When Jim was 12, his life was turned upside down.

– My father lost his job when he was 51, and it was really “wow”, a kick in the butt, said the actor when he visited “The Actor’s Studio” for a few.
– He wasn’t happy
The family’s security has disappeared. They were forced to sell the house and after school Carrey and her brothers had to support themselves by working.
– We lived for a while in a minibus and worked together as security guards or watchmen, recalls the actor.

Loss of trust
The great upheaval tormented the teenager so violently that he lost all faith in himself. As an honors student, he gave up both his school work and his social life.
– I went from being an exceptional student to not wanting to know anyone’s name, and going out of my way not to make new friends, he says in “The Actor’s Studio” according to the Daily Mail.
Break
For a time the family lived in tents and moved from place to place. At just 15 years old, Carrey left school and began working full time as a janitor. He hated that job and brought with it a lot of frustration and anger. Luckily, the comedian ultimately chose to focus on humor instead of anger.

Ever since he was a child, Jim had stood in front of the mirror and tried his hand at funny expressions and parodies. The Canadian got better and better and it became clear that he had great talent.
At the age of 17, he began finding work as a stand-up comedian and it didn’t take long for humor to become a livelihood.

Before he turned 20, Carrey moved to Hollywood to seek his fortune as an actor, and soon after landed major roles. After a few years he was one of the best-paid stars in the world, with paychecks worth several hundred million crowns. Yet he wasn’t happy.
The new image causes a sensation: – Wow!
In an interview with “60 Minutes”, the multimillionaire said he suffers from depression and has been taking happy pills for many years.
– It’s like having a murmur of desperation at a constantly low level. You manage to smile every day in the office and you manage to lead an okay life, she told the program.

I dropped the medicine
Ironically, it was at the height of his career that Carrey felt his worst. The medicine helped for a while, but eventually the “The Grinch” star realized he had to stop.
– I took Prozac for a long time. I had to stop doing it, because everything got pretty flat, he said.

Nor has love life been a breeze for the popular comedian. In 1987, Jim married his pregnant girlfriend Melissa Womer (54). They had a daughter, Jane Carrey (36 years old), and after eight years they separated.

Nine years later, he gave married life a second chance with “Dumb and Dumber” co-star Lauren Holly (60), but the relationship broke up after a few months.
Subsequently, Jim dated such famous film colleagues as Renée Zellweger (54), January Jones (45) and Jenny McCarthy (51), but all relationships were short-lived.

Today the actor keeps his cards close to his chest when it comes to his private life, but according to American media he lives in solitary majesty in the exclusive neighborhood of Brentwood in California.
In recent years he has increasingly retreated from the limelight, acting in very few films and focusing on the role of grandfather to Jackson (13), Erin (3) and Logan James (2).
Criticisms pour in
In addition, he began to paint, which he does with great success.
– I like my quiet life, I like to express myself on canvas and I really like my spiritual life, he tells People magazine.

In an interview with Access Hollywood last year, the 61-year-old confirmed that he will soon be ready for retired life.
– I will retire, yes, probably. I’m quite serious, said the movie star, but I left the door open for future films:
– He had Hitler on his bedside table
– If the angels come to me with an inscription written in gold and say that it is very important for people to see it, then perhaps I will continue, he said seriously.
