Jim Carrey, the Hollywood icon, may retire soon, admitting, “I have to get out of here before I snap.” He faced backlash for refusing to promote “Kick-Ass 2” due to its violence following the Sandy Hook tragedy.
With a $180 million net worth, Carrey began declining roles, focusing on a philosophical journey during his hiatus. Known for classics like “The Mask,” he considered a sequel but insisted on the right director. The 2014 release of “Dumb and Dumber To” disappointed fans.
Amid his career highs, Carrey battled severe depression and stirred vaccine controversy. He shifted creatively, penning a children’s book, “How Roland Rolls,” and returned to acting in projects like “Kidding” and “Sonic The Hedgehog.”
Carrey’s recent criticism of Will Smith’s Oscars incident drew attention. Despite fame, he admitted waning passion for acting, citing his accomplished career as the reason for his retreat from the spotlight.
