this list we’re looking at some of the
biggest scandals and controversial
moments from the career of this uber
talented Canadian funny man why you’re
number five his paintings
Jim Carrey may be best known for his
comedy and acting skills but when it
comes to creative expression he’s got
more than one outlet Carrey turned to
art as a form of therapy and wouldn’t
you know it he’s a pretty good painter
be beautiful in 2018 however his art
work took a more politically charged
direction when he started doing
portraits of prominent figures like Mark
Zuckerberg Donald Trump and one that
really got people talking White House
press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders
some found her representation cutting
and funny while others called Kerry a
bully and took issue with him bringing
her faith into it number four
kick ass – and the Sandy Hook shooting
Jim Carrey has never been the sort to
avoid risk
he loves to push boundaries so his
casting and kick ass too seemed like an
inspired choice and another interesting
tangent in his career but apparently
this challenge took him into very
uncomfortable territory stay frosty team
I used to eat punch like this for
breakfast though Kerry seemingly had no
issue with the hyper violent style of
kick-ass during filming in the wake of
the tragic Sandy Hook elementary school
shooting he refused to promote the film
stating that quote now in all good
conscience he could not support that
level of violence others involved in the
film disagreed with his position but he
stuck by it
we’re his in the message all the other
we’re shutting it down number three his
anti-vaxxer phase for a while there it
seemed as if many misguided celebs were
jumping on the anti-vaccination
conspiracy bandwagon and unfortunately
Jim Carrey and then partner Jenny
McCarthy were among them in particular
they campaigned to have the so-called
toxic substances removed from vaccines
and touted the supposed link between
vaccines and autism what we’re asking is
for them to take a loss for the good of
our children now we’re not gonna tell
you you should implicitly trust Big
Pharma or that they necessarily have
your best interests in mind but as far
as vaccines are concerned there is a lot
of empirical evidence out there and
across the board studies agree vaccines
save lives and do not result in autism
for this Carey earned a whole lot of
number two the death of his girlfriend
this tragic chapter and Jim Carrey’s
life clearly left its mark on him in
2015 his ex-girlfriend Katriona white
was found dead from a suicide via an
overdose of prescription medication the
loss of someone you’ve been close to is
always devastating but what followed was
a complicated very public examination of
the circumstances leading to her death
this included numerous accusations made
against cari including that he may have
introduced her to the drugs that took
her life exposed her to sti’s and that
her suicide note alluded to him White’s
family ended up suing Kerry for wrongful
death but in the end the case was
dismissed number one his man on the moon
behavior Jim Carrey is first and
foremost an entertainer and impersonator
Nicholson one need only look at some of
his early stand-up to appreciate his
ability to practically transform himself
into another person when he actually got
his dream gig the chance to play the
role of famed performance artist and
experimental comedian Andy Kaufman
he didn’t just nail the impersonation he
inhabited it full-time Carrie’s
commitment was so extreme that he caused
mayhem on set driving cast and crew way
past their limits and at times
endangering the film itself it was not
me you know it was not me I was not
making choices based on what Jim does I
was making choices based on what Andy
does the results are hard to argue with
but Kerry’s commitment caused much grief
