Jim Carrey – biography, photo, personal life, children, best roles, height and weight 2022

Biography of Jim Carrey

Jim Carrey (full name James Eugene Carrey) is a Canadian-American comic actor, screenwriter and producer. 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.

Jim Carrey, comedy star

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.

Childhood photo of Jim Carrey

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.

Jim Carrey before becoming a famous comedian

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.

If I had not had a career in show business, then I would probably still be working in Hamilton at the Dofasco foundry today. As a child, I looked at these workshops and thought: “This is where the most beautiful work happens.”

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.

Standup 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 1981, the comedian was quite famous in his native Canada

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.

He made his film debut in 1983 in Rubberface, and in the same year he starred in All in Good Taste and Kupper’s Mountain. At 19In 84, he was invited to play the lead role 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).

Jim Carrey and Lauren Hutton (“Once Bitten”)

From 1990 to 1994 he had a role in the comedy television series In Living Color on Fox, and in addition to 19In 1991, his own show, The Unnatural Act of Jim Carrey, came out – he dedicated it to his mother, who had died shortly before.

Acting 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).

Eccentric detective Ace Ventura – Jim Carrey’s breakthrough role

As a result, the actor was nominated for the Golden Globe and received the MTV Movie Award as the best comedian, but at the same time, 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 the 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. ”

Jim Carrey has two older sisters and an older brother

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 co-stars. And although this film received mixed reviews from critics as a “vulgarly commercial movie”, it grossed over $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.

Batman Forever: Jim Carrey as the Riddler

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 for Favorite Actor, two MTV Movie Awards in the categories of Best Actor and Best Comedy Role, and an MTV Movie Award nomination for Best Actor. 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 dollars. Prizes followed again: Kid’s Choice Awards for Favorite Actor, MTV Movie Award for Best Actor and Best On-Screen Villain, and an MTV Movie Award nomination for Best Fight (with Matthew Broderick) .

Still from The Cable Guy

But Jim’s incredible rise in popularity did not end there either: in 1997, one of the cult comedies with his participation, Liar, Liar, was released – 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”: bad 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 enormously from Jim Carrey’s trademark, seething 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 – after the release of this film wrote: “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 the 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.

The Truman Show was a huge hit with viewers

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.

The real Andy Kaufman and Jim Carrey as him

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.

For the filming of The Grinch, Jim Carrey had to make up 3.5 hours every day

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.

“Bruce Almighty” – trailer

Standing out 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.”

Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

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.

The actor is very organic in “villainous” images

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.

With Stephen Hawking

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 at the Teen Choice Awards and Kid’s Choice Awards. Critics wrote: “Always Say Yes is good as a comedy with Jim Carrey, but it’s even more interesting to watch it as a love movie that makes you laugh every now and then.”

Jim Carrey’s horse – his amazing facial expressions

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.

Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor played a couple in love

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. ”

Still from the film “I love you Philip Morris”

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 Paving Stones”, 2015), the television series “I’m Dying with Laughter” (2017) and several other projects.

In 2018, Jim Carrey starred in the comedy-drama series Kidding as a lead 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.

Jim Carrey in his youth and now

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 saw 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.

In 2021, Kerry is scheduled to premiere the animated film Space Jam 2. In it, the actor played the role of the Mask. Filming of Jim’s author’s work – the series “Just Kidding” also continues. It has been renewed for several seasons.

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. 9September 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.

Jim Carrey with daughter Jane

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.

Jim Carrey was married to Lauren Holly for less than a year

While the Seven Kingdoms are reclaiming one part of their borders, the snow dead are approaching others.

This act was condemned even by the wife of the king. The death of the king’s family completely devastated him and he had no choice but to gather an urgent council, at which the son of Balon, Viserys, was chosen as the ruler of the throne. He bequeathed the throne by right to Rhaenys, but after his death, his eldest son, Aegon, seized the reign, which finally broke the kingdom. The new season will tell viewers about the battles between brothers and sisters, spouses for the right to rule the throne, passing from generation to generation.

Cary Grant – biography, personal life, photos, movies

Biography

Cary Grant is one of the representatives of the “old” Hollywood. Together with Alain Delon, Marlon Brando and Clark Gable, the actor made women all over the world lose their heads in love. They say that even the Princess of Monaco Grace Kelly could not resist his charm, and along with her – Audrey Hepburn, Sophia Loren and Ingrid Bergman.

Childhood and youth

Archibald Alec Leach (real name Cary Grant) was born on January 18, 1904 in Bristol. He became the second child in the family of the English Elias James and Elsie Maria (née Kingdon). His older brother John William Elias died of tuberculous meningitis in 1900 before his first birthday.

Actor Cary Grant

Life in the Leach family could not be called prosperous: his father was constantly drinking, and his mother suffered from clinical depression. Archibald became Elsie’s cure. From the age of 4 she taught her son to dance, sing and play the piano, took him to the movies. Having become a famous actor, Cary Grant admitted that his mother was too annoying: she took away pocket money for the slightest misconduct, she was annoyed if her father smoked and drank in his presence. Elsie was caring, afraid of losing another son.

When Archibald was 9 years old, Elias placed his wife in a psychiatric clinic, telling the boy that she had died. The father confessed to lying just before his death, when the actor was 31 years old. Grant ordered his mother released from the hospital in June 1935. For the first time after a long separation, mother and son saw each other in 1938.

Cary Grant as a child

Without waiting even a year, in 1913, the father created a new family in which there was no place for his son. Archibald’s upbringing was left to his grandmother, Elsie’s mother.

Bad relationship with his parents made the boy withdrawn, but he had friends – acrobatic dancers from the Bob Pender Stage Troupe. They taught Archibald how to do tricks on stilts and took him on tour. In 1914, during a tour of Berlin, the aspiring acrobat was noticed by Jesse Lasky, at that time a Broadway producer, later one of the founders of Paramount Pictures.

Cary Grant as a young man

In 1915, Archibald received a scholarship to study at the Fairfield Grammar School in Bristol. Good looks and acting talent made the boy popular among his peers. He excelled in all subjects, was interested in sports, but was remembered by teachers as “a naughty boy who always made noise in the last desks and did not do his homework.”

Archibald spent his free time behind the scenes of theaters. In 1917, when the famous illusionist David Devant performed at the Bristol Empire, a 13-year-old boy was entrusted with lighting the stage. And working as a messenger on the docks of Southampton awakened in Archibald a desire to travel. Once he was almost taken on a ship as a waiter, but was refused because of his young age.

Cary Grant

In 1918, Leach Jr. was expelled from school: several times he ended up in the ladies’ room and helped his classmates rob a store. Geoffrey Wansell, Cary Grant’s biographer, wrote that he intended to do these things in order to return to a career as a traveling entertainer.

And indeed – after 3 days he was touring again, and on legal grounds: Elias decided to legalize his son’s hobby. The contract signed between Archibald and the troupe was designed for 3 years, provided for weekly payments (£0.5 each), the provision of housing, payment for dance lessons and other professional activities until the age of 18.

Movies

In his youth, the guy often moved from place to place and finally settled in the USA, founding his own acrobatic troupe “The Walking Stanleyys”.

Cary Grant in his youth

In his free time from the circus, Archibald played on the Broadway stage. For the first job, the young man received $ 75 a week, then his fee increased to $ 350. Gradually, a theatrical career supplanted street performances, and in 1930 he went on tour as part of the troupe of the musical The Street Singer.

The role of a soldier of post-war France in the musical “Nikki” by William Friedlander was praised by critics of The New York Daily News – Ed Sullivan noted that “the young guy from England has a great future in cinema.” The article turned out to be prophetic.

Actor Cary Grant

On December 7, 1931, Paramount Pictures signed the young actor to a 5-year contract with a starting salary of $450 a week. At the same time, the agents advised changing the name to “something more like an American one, like Gary Cooper’s.” So Archibald Leach became Cary Grant.

The role of the Olympic javelin thrower in his debut film This Night in 1932 disappointed Grant, and he wanted to terminate his newly signed contract. But, to his surprise, critics from Variety published positive reviews. In the same year, the actor appeared in the film “Blond Venus” with Marlene Dietrich.

Pictures of 1932 – “The Devil and the Deep”, “Madama Butterfly”, “Hot Saturday” – did not make Cary Grant a movie star, but created the image of “an ideal man, in whom there is no falling in love is scary.”

Released in 1933, She Treated Him Unfairly earned more than $2 million at the American box office, making Grant famous. His earnings rose to $750 a week. And the film “I’m not an angel” saved Paramount Pictures from bankruptcy.

Cary Grant and Mae West in “She Treated Him Foul”

After a resounding rise in Grant’s creative biography, failure followed: “Born to be bad”, “Kiss and make up lips”, “Wings in the dark” did not gather full auditoriums, therefore, the actor was dubbed “unprofitable” and planned to be fired. The shooting of the film “The Wedding Gift” in 1936 ended the collaboration with Paramount Pictures.

Grant signed with RKO and Columbia Pictures for 2 years. During this time, four films were to be shot. The first picture was “When you are in love” 1937, where the actor played a wealthy American artist who is trying to win over a famous opera singer.

Irene Dunn and Cary Grant in “Penny Serenade”

Cary Grant thought that “Philadelphia Story” in 1940 should have earned him an Oscar nomination, but the Academy noticed him a year later in “Penny Serenade”, and then in 1944 for his role in the film Only a Lonely Heart. He never received the award.

Alfred Hitchcock, a director famous for chilling thrillers, considered a star in Cary Grant and invited him to the film “Insight”. The project turned out to be unsuccessful: because of the “train” of the ideal man, Hitchcock was unable to complete the story of Grant’s character with suicide, as previously planned, but put him in jail.

“If you don’t have a cynical ending, it makes the story too simple,” said the director.

In the early 1950s, a decline in Grant’s career followed – after 20 years of filming, acrobat Archibald Leach got tired of the romantic image. Having starred in 1953 with Deborah Kerr in The Ideal Wife, the actor decided to take a break from his career, which, however, did not last long.

Cary Grant and Grace Kelly in To Catch a Thief

Alfred Hitchcock’s To Catch a Thief was released in 1955, starring Cary Grant and Grace Kelly. Later, the actor said that the future Princess of Monaco

“probably the best actress I’ve ever worked with. ”

And he had something to compare – Grant met Deborah Kerr again in “An Unforgettable Romance”, co-starred with Sophia Loren in “Pride and Passion”.

Sophia Loren and Cary Grant in the film “Pride and Passion”

The actor experienced tender feelings for the latter, offered to marry, but the affair was not successful. In “The Houseboat” they starred, barely carrying each other.

Cary Grant’s last filmography was Walk, Don’t Run at 1966, and after that, the 62-year-old actor announced his retirement.

Personal life

A difficult relationship with his mother in childhood left an imprint on Cary Grant’s relationship with women: he looked for support in them, was nervous if they began to control him. However, the actor’s personal life is rich – Grant has been married five times.

Virginia Cherrill and Cary Grant

February 9, 1934 married Virginia Cherrill. The marriage lasted a little over a year, and on March 26, 1935, the couple divorced, because Grant allegedly beat his wife.

In 1942, the actor married Barbara Hutton, one of the richest women in the world – she inherited $ 50 million from her grandfather, the creator of the Woolworth chain. The lovers divorced after 3 years, remaining “the most faithful loving friends.”

Cary Grant and Barbara Hutton

In 1949, Grant’s wife was fellow cinematographer Betsy Drake. This marriage became the longest and lasted until 1962.

Children appeared in another union. In 1965, the actor married Dian Cannon, and on February 26, 19On the 66th, daughter Jennifer was born, whom Cary Grant called “the best production.” After 2 years, the couple divorced.

Cary Grant and his wife Barbara Harris

On April 11, 1981, the actor married Barbara Harris. The girl was 47 years younger than her husband. Relatives said that Barbara was a positive influence on Grant and that

“he was never happier than in his last years with her.”

In the 2016 documentary Becoming Cary Grant, allegations were made that the actor and close friend Randolph Scott had a homosexual relationship. As evidence, photos of an intimate nature were cited, the fact that men of 12 years old shared a roof over their heads. Grant’s daughter Jennifer commented:

“Father liked the rumors about his homosexuality, he said that they only kindle women’s interest in him.”

Death

At the turn of the 1970s and 1980s, many of Cary Grant’s close friends died: Howard Hughes (1976), Howard Hawks (1977), Barbara Hutton (1979), Alfred Hitchcock (1980), Grace Kelly and Ingrid Bergman (1982). An endless string of sad events caused the actor’s health to fail: he was tormented by jumping pressure and arrhythmia.

Statue of Cary Grant

On November 29, 1986, a doctor was called to the room of Cary Grant and his wife. The actor was diagnosed with a massive stroke, but the man refused hospitalization. He was taken to the hospital only when he fell into a coma. 45 minutes fought for the life of the “King of Hollywood”, and Cary Grant died half an hour before midnight.
