Known to the general public for the films The Mask, Ace Ventura, Dumb and Dumber, Liar, Liar, Bruce Almighty, The Truman Show, Man in the Moon, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Two-time Golden Globe winner, multiple MTV Movie Award winner, BAFTA nominee. Few can resist his lively facial expressions and powerful charisma.

Childhood

Jim Carrey was born on January 17, 1962 in Newmarket, Canada. The family did not live well: mother Kathleen Kerry (née Oram) was a singer in her youth, and then became a housewife, and father Percy Kerry failed to make a career as a saxophonist and went to work as an accountant to support the family.

Parents raised Jim, his older sisters Pat and Rita and brother John in the Catholic religion. When Jim was in school, his father was fired, and the family had to move to the town of Scarborough, where Percy found work as a security guard in a factory that produced car wheels. In the evenings after school, all four children worked part-time at the same factory as cleaners.

Living in such a regime was hard, and one day the Kerry family decided to quit this job - even though they lost their housing because of this and were forced to live in a trailer for some time.

In the end, the father got a job at the Dofasco steel mill in the port city of Hamilton, Ontario, the family settled in the nearby town of Burlington, and prosperous times began. Jim lived here for 8 years, graduated from Aldershot High School, organized the Spoons musical group, and after school went to work at the same factory.

But no less acutely young Jim dreamed of becoming an actor - he loved to "grimacing", to amuse classmates and parody famous personalities. When he was 10 years old, he wrote a letter to the popular comedy show The Carroll Burnett Show saying he was "a master of parody" and should be given a role on the show. The brisk boy got a standard response, but he was still happy.

Stand-up and first roles

Father fully supported Jim in his desire to become a professional artist. Unable to financially help him, he brought 15-year-old Jim to the Yak-Yak comedy club in Toronto and even helped him write the lyrics. The first performance of the young man failed miserably, but in 1979 he ascended the same stage again, and this time he managed to win over the audience.

Standup by Jim Carrey (Russian translation)

By 1981, Jim had gone from amateur open mic performances to regular pay-per-view performances, becoming the star of several clubs at once. Having conquered Toronto, the young artist moved to Los Angeles, where he was just as readily accepted on local stages. Here he was once noticed by the popular comedian Rodney Dangerfield and invited to open his performances during the tour. But at the end of the tour, Dangerfield settled in Las Vegas, and Jim Carrey decided to move to Hollywood.

In Hollywood, Jim got a job at The Comedy Store. In 1982, he made his first television appearance in the stand-up show Improv Evening, and in 1983 he starred in the variety show Tonight. The young artist was unsatisfied with his career as a stand-up comedian and dreamed of appearing regularly on television and acting in films.

His film debut was in 1983's Rubberface, and in the same year he starred in All in Good Taste and Kupper's Mountain. In 1984, he was invited to star in the children's series The Duck Factory, and then he starred in the films Once Bitten (1985), Peggy Sue Gets Married (1986, directed by Francis Coppola), Earth Girls Are Easy (1988), "Death List" (1988), "Pink Cadillac" (1989), "Nerves on the Line" (1991), "Life on Maple Drive" (1992).

From 1990 to 1994, he had a role in the comedy television series In Living Color on Fox, and in addition, in 1991, his own show, The Unnatural Act of Jim Carrey, was released - he dedicated it to his mother, who had recently died.

Actor career

In 1994, a fantastic breakthrough took place in Jim Carrey's career: three extraordinarily successful films with his participation appeared on the screens at once: Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (collected $ 107 million at the box office), The Mask (351 million, the film launched career of Cameron Diaz) and "Dumb and Dumber" (247 million).

As a result, the actor was nominated for the Golden Globe and received the MTV Movie Award as the best comedy actor, but not all critics liked his peculiar style with eccentric facial expressions, and a nomination for the Golden Raspberry anti-award immediately followed. in the "worst new star" category.

"Ace Ventura". Best Moments

Jim gained particular popularity among young people, and audience reviews for all three comedies expressed stormy delight: “We seemed to be back in the days when films were allowed to cause laughter”, “This is one of the funniest films in modern comedy”, “Fun every second! ”, “I would like to go back to the time when I watched it for the first time and laughed until the pain! Brilliant movie."

The following year, the actor was invited to play the role of the Riddler in the superhero action movie Batman Forever (1995), where Val Kilmer, Tommy Lee Jones, Nicole Kidman and Drew Barrymore became his filming partners. And although this film received mixed reviews from critics as a "vulgarly commercial movie", it grossed more than $ 336 million at the box office and demonstrated Jim Carrey's ability not only to lead on the screen, but also to join a diverse ensemble cast. For this work, he was nominated for an MTV Movie Award in the Best Screen Villain category.

The series of victories was continued by the sequel "Ace Ventura 2: When Nature Calls", the rental fees of which were twice the fees of the first part. Not without awards: the actor received the "Kid's Choice Awards" as "favorite actor", two "MTV Movie Award" awards in the categories "best actor" and "best comedy role" and a nomination for "MTV Movie Award" for Best Screen Kiss (with Sophie Okonedo).

After that, Jim Carrey starred in Ben Stiller's black comedy The Cable Guy (1996), and his fee for this work amounted to a fabulous $ 20 million. And prizes followed again: "Kid's Choice Awards" in the category "favorite actor", "MTV Movie Award" in the categories "best actor" and "best screen villain" and a nomination for the "MTV Movie Award" for best fight (with Matthew Broderick).

But Jim's incredible rise in popularity did not end there either: in 1997, one of the cult comedies with his participation Liar, Liar came out - a story about a successful lawyer who mysteriously lost the ability to tell a lie, which almost destroyed his career, but but it helped to build relationships with the family.

"Liar, Liar": Unfortunate takes

This time, the audience was also pleased, thanks to which the film grossed $ 302 million, and even the critics, who reacted to Jim much warmer than usual:

Despite its simple plot, "Liar Liar" benefits immensely from Jim Carrey's signature, bubbling humor. An explosion of laughter - and you willy-nilly begin to adore him.

And even Robert Ebert - an authoritative film critic who gave negative reviews to all the actor's previous films - wrote after the release of this picture: "I gradually begin to grow suspicion - or rather, I will call it fear - that Jim Carrey is sprouting through me." An additional award to the actor was a nomination for the Golden Globe.

Despite outstanding success, in 1998 he decided to take a break from his frivolous role and starred in a more serious role in the fantastic tragicomedy The Truman Show. This is the story of a man whose whole life suddenly turns out to be a cunningly and cruelly planned reality show. The picture received the highest praise from critics as "a funny and touching film that surprisingly accurately shows a nation sick with an unquenchable thirst for spying on the personal lives of celebrities and ordinary people." Among the huge number of prestigious awards received by this film is the "Golden Globe" Jim Carrey for Best Dramatic Actor.

Another unusual role for him, played in 1999, is the role of the famous comedian Andy Kaufman in Milos Forman's biographical drama Man in the Moon. Famous actors such as Courtney Love, Danny DeVito and Christopher Lloyd also took part in this film. And, despite the fact that this picture did not pay off at the box office, Jim Carrey received another Golden Globe for it and several nominations for other film awards.

In 2000, the actor returned to his favorite genre of comedy and starred in the films "Me, Me Again and Irene" (paired with Renee Zellweger) and "The Grinch Stole Christmas" (with Anthony Hopkins). Both films were successful, with The Grinch earning Jim Carrey a new MTV Movie Award and a Golden Globe nomination.

Another unforgettable work of the actor was the main role in the famous comedy Bruce Almighty (2003), played in partnership with Jennifer Aniston and Morgan Freeman. The film grossed a whopping $484 million despite being banned in some Muslim countries because it depicts a god in the form of an ordinary person.

An excerpt from the movie "Bruce Almighty"

Standing apart among these works is the romantic fantasy drama Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2003), in which Jim Carrey starred in a brilliant ensemble cast with Kate Winslet, Kirsten Dunst, Mark Ruffalo and Elijah Wood. It is a film about "the bewildered beauty and existential horror of a mind trapped in a bewildered mind and the self-imposed amnesia of a broken but hopeful heart." The film received a number of prestigious awards, including the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, and Jim Carey was nominated for BAFTA and Saturn awards. His performance in this film was called "the best, most mature and clearly focused of his entire career."

Another interesting work was the role of the main villain Count Olaf in the family fantasy adventure Lemony Snicket: 33 Misfortunes (2004), where Meryl Streep also starred along with young actors. The film grossed a $209 million box office for a children's film, and critics called Jim Carrey's anti-hero "hilariously manic." The Paramount Pictures film studio planned to shoot a sequel to this story, and possibly more than one, but after a while it became obvious that these plans were not destined to come true: the actors who played the roles of the children of the Baudelaire family had matured too noticeably.

In 2007, the actor starred in the psychological thriller The Fatal Number 23, and this role was another major departure from his trademark comic role. Unfortunately, critics smashed this work to smithereens, calling it "clumsy and uninteresting", and Jim Carrey was nominated for the Golden Raspberry anti-award.

After this failure, the success of the comedy Always Say Yes (2008), in which he starred with Zooey Deschanel and Bradley Cooper, turned out to be even more valuable for him. The award was another MTV Movie Award and several nominations for the Teen Choice Awards and Kid's Choice Awards at once. Critics wrote: “The film“ Always Say Yes ”is good as a comedy with Jim Carrey, but even more interesting watch it like a love movie that makes you laugh every now and then."

However, the actor's interest in more serious cinema was not at all exhausted, and in 2009 he played one of the main roles in the romantic tragicomedy I Love You Phillip Morris in partnership with Ewan McGregor. The film was screened at the Sundance Non-Commercial Film Festival and later at the Cannes Film Festival prior to its worldwide release.

Due to the abundance of homosexual erotic scenes, the picture did not find an outlet for a wide audience for several months, and the authors had to cut out some fragments. And although the box office was quite modest by Hollywood standards, connoisseurs of auteur cinema enthusiastically approved this film: "This romantic comedy based on real events has its flaws, but they are completely unimportant against the backdrop of its sweet and funny tone and the best acting of Jim Carrey throughout his career."

In the same 2009, he played in the film A Christmas Carol, a 3D adaptation of Charles Dickens' story. Together with him, Colin Firth, Gary Oldman, Robin Wright Penn and other famous actors participated in this project. The film became a real blockbuster, collecting 325 million dollars. Then there were works in the successful comedies "Mr. Popper's Penguins" (2011), "Dumb and Dumber 2" (2014) and several more films. In recent years, Jim Carrey has been actively involved in producing and in this new capacity he participated in the documentary "Rubble Kings" ("Kings of the Paving Stones", 2015), the television series "I'm Dying with Laughter" (2017) and several other projects.

Personal life of Jim Carrey

Jim Carrey was officially married twice in his life, and also had several love affairs. His motto in his personal life can be considered the statement:

I don't believe in fairy tales about eternal love. Ten years with the same person is more than enough.

He first married on March 8, 1987 - his chosen one was actress Melissa Womer, then a waitress from The Comedy Store club, and later an actress and producer. On September 9 of the same year, their daughter Jane Erin Kerry was born.

Soon tragic events took place in the actor's life: in 1991, after a serious illness, his mother died, and in 1994, his father, to whom Jim was very attached, passed away. The depressed state due to the loss of his parents led the actor to depression, and Melissa was unable to help him. The actor seemed to be fighting two opposite principles: he could be an exemplary family man, but periodically desperately needed solitude.

In 1995, Jim began an affair with his Dumb and Dumber co-star Lauren Holly, and after a series of serious scandals, Melissa decided to divorce him. On September 23, 1996, Jim married Lauren, but this marriage lasted only 8 months.

In 2012, 53-year-old Jim Carrey met with Russian student Anastasia Vitkina, and after breaking up with her, began a relationship with 28-year-old Irish Catriona White. Soon this couple also broke up, and in 2013 the girl married another man. However, from May to September 2015, a love affair flared up again between Jim and Catriona, and after parting, the young woman committed suicide by taking a lethal dose of pills. According to her mother, "she felt that she had no reason to live after the loss of the man she loved madly."

He paid for Catriona's funeral in full, carried the coffin and looked very depressed. Soon, the official husband of Catriona White filed a lawsuit against Jim Carrey, accusing him of “using his enormous wealth and star status to illegally acquire pills,” which poisoned his wife, but the actor defended his innocence in court.

After that, he almost disappeared from the radar and appeared in public only in September 2017 at ... Fashion Week in New York. He shaved off his thick beard and looked emaciated, although he still joked and charmed those around him. He told a journalist who decided to interview him: “This is not our world. All this is not real. We don't make any sense."

Now Jim Carrey is dating actress Ginger Gonzaga, an American with Filipino roots. They met on the set of the series "Just Kidding". It seems that for the first time in a long time, the actor is truly happy in his personal life.

Jim Carrey's daughter Jane performs in her own rock band, the Jane Carrey Band, and in 2009 she married the musician of the same group, Alex Santana. On February 26, 2010, their son Jason Riley Santana was born, and Jim loves his grandson. Unfortunately, in December 2010, Jane and Alex divorced.

Jim Carrey is a Canadian citizen and, since 2004, also a US citizen. He is a vegetarian and an opponent of the current practice of vaccination, because he believes that some types of vaccines are toxic and cause autism.

Jim Carrey now

In 2018, Jim Carrey continues his work on television, participating in the comedy-drama series Kidding (Just kidding) as a leading actor and producer. In this project, Kerry plays the host of a children's TV show who is facing problems in his personal life. The series received fairly high marks from critics.

In recent years, he has practically moved away from big cinema and devoted himself to his old hobby - painting. Now among his works the genre of political caricature prevails. For political reasons, he also deleted his Facebook account and sold his shares in the company.

However, in 2020, viewers will see Kerry in the villainous role of Dr. Robotnik in the feature film about Sonic the Hedgehog. The actor, although not too similar to the original source from a computer game, perfectly got used to the role.

Jim Carrey is perhaps the most controversial actor in modern cinema. Some love him, others hate him. Some consider him a genius, others - a grimacing. Critics called almost all the films with his participation a failure, but the public pours them out in droves. According to various film studies, the name Carrey beats off the box office 8 times more than was invested in the film. You can treat this actor differently, but hardly anyone will argue with the fact that he has already taken his very prominent place in the history of the era.

The Jim Carrey phenomenon is undoubtedly the result of his very difficult and unhappy childhood. Jim was born into a very poor Canadian family with many children, where his mother was a singer before the birth of children, and his father was a saxophonist. Everything changed after they lost their jobs. Parents languishing from poverty were only engaged in trying to earn a living. As a result, the mother began to suffer from a severe form of hypochondria and was known in the small town where Kerry lived, the city lunatic, and her father was a talk of the town loser. Children have always been participants in all this tragicomedy. So, during the period when Kerry's father once got a job as a security guard for the production of wheels, he attached all four children there, who were forced to come to the factory after school and wash the floors and toilets. “I came to school and fell asleep in class,” Jim Carrey later recalled this period of his life. “I didn’t want to be friends with classmates because their problems seemed small and trifling to me.” Classmates, in turn, did not want to be friends with the son of a city madman - an eternally hungry boy in torn clothes, who did not even have a home - for several years, Kerry's whole family lived in a camper van. The kids teased Jim all the time. But, truth be told, they did not dare to beat. Already from childhood, the future actor was famous for very strange antics: he could suddenly spin like a top, squeal terribly and spit in his face, as he once did when he once again heard some woman on the street laughing about his mother. Of course, all this did not contribute to studies, as a result of which Kerry changed schools several times, and studied for three years in the last grade.

How, under such sad circumstances, was such a powerful comic gift born? Yes, naturally. With all his childlike soul, hating those around him, the boy, alone with himself, amused himself by making fun of everyone in a row. Well, he gradually realized that it was this business that he liked the most, and began to collect videos of his parodies. When Jim was 11 years old, about a hundred videos had accumulated. After selecting 80, he sent them to the comedy show Carol Burnett, however, no one answered him. The secret life tormented the boy. Like any actor, especially a beginner, he wanted to hear an opinion about his work, so at the age of 15, he told his father about his hobby. Dad was delighted and decided to help his son - he wrote a sketch himself, took the boy to the local Yak-Yak club and agreed on a performance. Jim was booed and kicked off the stage. After this incident, he closed himself even more, and no longer tried to show his creativity to anyone. Only two years later, Jim again relied on his strange talent, which grew out of childhood hatred.

This time, in 1979, without a dad, he went to one of the largest clubs in Ontario, agreed with the manager to perform, and soon became a local star. This success inspired Jim, and he decided to storm Hollywood. Already in 1980, Kerry, having collected his simple belongings, left for Los Angeles. There, the aspiring comedian almost immediately managed to get a job at the Comedy Store club, which, thanks to Carrey's parody performances, soon improved his budget very much. The parodist himself began an active attack on the cinema, trying out either in films or in television series, however, at first in vain. And yet, for several years in Los Angeles, the actor managed to achieve something. By 1984, he was already making good money, was recognizable, and finally got a role in the series. All these years, Kerry was waiting for this, albeit a small stability, in order to fulfill his dream, and immediately realized it - he took his parents from Ontario to Los Angeles. However, Jim's fate, as fidgety and fickle as himself, decided that this was a good moment to play a trick on him. As soon as his parents moved, Jim lost his job, his financial situation began to deteriorate and ... his parents had to be sent back.

This fall crippled Jim. He fell into depression, stopped touring and went into himself, as after the previous disappointment in the Yak-Yak club, for two years. Saved by a friend - comedian Damon Wayans, whom Kerry met while working on television. Seeing what was happening, Wayans literally took Jim on bail - he got him a job on his brother's comedy show, playing in which Carrey gradually came to his senses and again began to make attempts to storm Hollywood.

The first film in which Kerry was noticed was released in 1986. It was Francis Ford Coppola's "Peggy Sue Got Married" (before that, he was filming, but the films were not successful). After that, he begins to act more or less regularly as a supporting actor, but over time, the earned authority allows Kerry to promote his show Jimm Carrey's Unnatural Act on television. For the first time this comic show comes out in 1991, and the actor dedicates it to his mother. The public has no idea why. But for Kerry, this was the answer to another mocking trick of fate. On the eve of the show's release, Jim's mother, whose life he was so trying to fix, died without seeing the triumph of her son. The soul of the artist sobbed and fought in hysterics, and viewers lay under sofas and armchairs with laughter. And only Jim knew that someone who can hardly hold back tears can be so funny ...

However, since that time, Jim Carrey's career has taken off. Fateful for him was the 1993th year, when he starred in the film "Ace Ventura: the search for pets." Although critics greeted the film with unanimous disapproval, the audience ran to see him in cinemas, Jim became a star, and his character became a pop icon and one of the most popular characters of all time. Carrey soon consolidated his success by starring in two more of his star films in 1994: Dumb, Dumber and The Mask. He was showered with praises and awards, and the audience fell in love with the artist forever. What eloquently proves the fate of the "Mask" - one of the most viewed films.

No one knew that cheerful Kerry was crying in his heart again. While he was busy filming, his father died, to whom Jim, like his mother, contrary to his dreams, did not have time to arrange a decent old age. Later, in an interview with reporters, Jim Carrey will tell how he immortalized his father in his style. It turns out that in memory of his parent, he literally copied his character in The Mask from him - the shy bank employee Stanley Ipkis. And later, a few years later, he repeated this in the film “33 Misfortunes”, explaining to reporters: “Outwardly, the count looks like my father, who looked like a freak.”

It can be seen that Jim Carrey's karma is such that success awaited him every time after misfortune. In the mid-90s, the victorious march of the actor on the screen began: Batman Forever (1995), Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls (1995), The Cable Guy (1996), Liar, Liar (1997), "The Truman Show" (1998) and "Man in the Moon" (1999), with which Carrey triumphantly closed the outgoing century by playing the cult comedian Andy Kaufman. His fees rose to $20 million per film, a hitherto unheard-of salary for a comedian. An interesting fact: almost all of these films (except "Liar, Liar") received unflattering reviews from critics, but the audience simply squealed with delight.

And Jim, meanwhile, fulfilled one of his cherished dreams: he began acting in dramatic roles in a serious movie. And quite successfully! The art-house film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), which, by the way, Carrey himself calls one of his favorite works, finally received unanimous critical acclaim and was nominated for many prestigious awards.

Carrey's reputation as an ordinary person in Hollywood leaves much to be desired - over the years he has earned himself a lot of ill-wishers, of course, with his antics and strange antics. But the dedication of the actor in the work is recognized by all unanimously. For a real reincarnation, he is ready for anything. For example, for the film "Dumb, Dumber" to look funnier, Carrey removed fillings from two front teeth. During the filming of the film "Liar, Liar", indeed, as can be seen in the film, he furiously hit his head against the toilet and the walls - and all in order to use these, in his opinion, funny sounds when dubbing. On the set of Always Say Always, the actor broke three of his ribs, only because during a planned fall in the frame he suddenly realized that it would be funnier if he landed on his back instead of his back. Well, on the set of "The Man in the Moon" during the entire period of filming, he forced the entire film crew, including director Milos Forman, to call themselves not Jim, but Andy (by the name of the main character).

And the fate of Carrey does not deviate from its traditions - he again has a dream that is not given to him in his hands! And Kerry dreams ... about the Oscar, which he is not given in any way. The actor says: “... I will not be satisfied until I am in a stream of light in front of the camera with a thank you speech. You understand what I mean ... I don't know how I will get an Oscar and what I will have to do for this. Yes, I am so vain!”

In addition to the "Oscar" in the life of Kerry, there is also no beloved. Despite her fame and fortune, the Hollywood star still cannot arrange her personal life. He had many novels, and even Kerry went down the aisle twice. In 1987, he married waitress Melissa Womer, a marriage that lasted only two years. From this union, Kerry has a daughter, Jane Erin Kerry (born 1987). Today, the girl performs in her own rock band Jane Carrey Band, and in 2010 she gave birth to a comedian grandson, who was named Jackson Riley Santana. In 1995, Kerry married actress Lauren Holly for ten, breaking up with her "without noise and dust."

Kerry tried to start a serious relationship with actress Renee Zellweger, and with his personal doctor Tiffany Silver, and with models Anine Bing and Jenny McCarthy. But all the women leave Jim, explaining this by his impossible antics and idiotic antics. Will the next girl manage to tame the restless Kerry? There are chances, because she is ... Russian. Since March 2012, the actor has been dating Russian student Anastasia Vyatkina and, they say, he even planned to get married.

One of the most talented and highly paid comedians in Hollywood. He always looks happy and content, but not now. Perhaps the tragedy completely crippled him. Or maybe something else?

In 2015 his girlfriend Catriona White committed suicide. Her parents accused her of this and dragged her through the courts. The result, as they say, on the face. Jim Carrey has aged a lot. On the face - traces of fatigue and sadness. In some photos, he smiles, but his eyes betray that something is going wrong in his life.

Jim Carrey: Twitter photo of the actor for Easter 2017

Catriona White, actor's girlfriend, Before committing suicide, she left him a suicide note:

“I couldn’t believe for three days that you weren’t with me. I could try to rebuild my broken heart. I could, but I don’t have enough strength and desire to live.”

Turning to Kerry, White expressed regret that it seemed to him that she did not support him. "I tried to give you the best part of me", the girl assured.

Catriona White worked as a make-up artist in Hollywood. There they met Kerry.

White, 30, a native of Ireland, committed suicide on September 28, two days after the third anniversary of the death of her father, to whom she was very attached. The body of a Hollywood make-up artist has been found at her home in Los Angeles. The presumed cause of death is a drug overdose.

Catriona's romance with Jim Carrey began in 2012, a few months later the couple broke up. In January 2013, White married a certain Mark Burton, at the end of last year the couple filed for divorce. In the spring of 2015, relations with Kerry resumed, but on September 24, four days before the death of Catriona, the second romance ended.

Jim Carrey himself in the first days after the tragedy said that he was "shocked and deeply saddened." "She was a truly kind and gentle Irish flower, too sensitive for this world.", - he said.

Jim Carrey has arrived the funeral Catriona White and carried her coffin . Not many photos from the funeral Catriona White:

Deep sadness can be seen on the face of Kerry ...

Mother Jim Carrey's girlfriend Catriona White who committed suicide blamed the actor for the death of her daughter. According to her, it was Kerry who supplied her with the powerful psychotropic drugs that caused White's death.

Bridget Sweetman already filed a lawsuit against a Hollywood actor. According to her, it was Kerry who constantly supplied her daughter with pills, through which she, later, committed suicide.

Earlier, the husband of the deceased girl also filed a similar lawsuit against Jim Carrey. At the time of her relationship with Jim, Catriona was married, but their relationship with her husband did not go well. Immediately after White's death, Jim said that one of the possible reasons for the suicide was a broken relationship with her husband and parents.

The mother of the deceased states that Kerry infected her daughter with three sexually transmitted diseases, and quit when he found out that White was ill. According to the Western press, the lawsuit says that Jim Carrey called Catriona a public woman and began to intimidate her into silence.

Bridget Sweetman claims her daughter received her test results in 2013. In response to an examination of his girlfriend, Kerry allegedly stated that she could have been infected by someone else and broke off the relationship, saying that she was over-dramatizing.

Biography and personal life of Jim Carrey

Our today's hero was born in Newmarket in Canada. The boy's childhood was, to put it mildly, not very good. Her mother was a housewife and her father worked as an accountant. The family lived rather modestly and often moved. Plus, the mother was very religious and taught the children to do the same. For the first two years of school, Jim studied at a Catholic school, in which the children were taught faith and order. Then Jim changed schools many more times.

When the guy was 14, his father was fired from his job, the family had to move to a smaller and poorer town, where his mother found a job as a cleaner, and his father became a security guard. But the children also had to work, as there was not enough money. For a very long time, Jim worked 8 hours in security, and in the evening he went to wash toilets and floors. Thus, he took on some of the parental responsibilities. The guy slept very little and studied poorly, but such difficulties only tempered his character.

Jim dreamed of a big stage since childhood. He recorded humorous monologues and sent them to various film studios from the age of 11, but often no one even watched them. A couple of times the guy tried himself as a comedian in competitions. At the age of 17, he began performing at the club of Litrais Spivak, where the public liked him very much and even gained particular success. Then the guy moved to the Comedy Store club, where he was noticed by Rodney Dangerfield, who offered to act as his opening act. This step gave the guy recognition. Later, he managed to move to Los Angeles and pursue a solo career.

He was no longer invited to films and to the stage, then Jim began to have a real depression. And a friend named Tom Shedyak helped her get out, who, seeing the difficulties of the actor, invited him to star in a new film called Ace Ventura. And although this film was not given much hope, thanks to the charisma and great acting of Carrey, this film became one of the most popular around the world and brought big fees.
