Not just pretty, but, you know, smart and kindhearted. And if I were a lot younger, I would marry you, and we would have chubby little freckled faced kids. The answer is "YES". Carrey, of course, has always been willing to experiment with humor; he idolized and later played avant garde comedian Andy Kaufman in "Man on the Moon," for example. In any case, even if it doesn't win Emma's heart, the video served its marketing purpose; it garnered so many clicks for his site, JimCarreyTruLife.
News U. But don't worry, you can see Carrey's trembling homage below. No one can seem to decide if Carrey's videotaped profession of undying love—he tells the year-old Stone that he wants to marry her, have "chubby little freckle-faced kids," and would have sex with her every day for the rest of her life—is creepy and disturbed, or genuinely funny. Stone herself can't seem to decide. After reading about the digital mash note, I was prepared to be outraged at the craggy, middle-aged Carrey wooing a woman just out of her teens, but Carrey is clearly not remotely serious.
The fact that some people in the media, who should be at least hip to satire, seem to think he is, is even more bizarre than Carrey's love note. I guess if a joke doesn't come with a recognizable branded imprint, Barna doesn't get it. Author's note: Barna says that this applies to everyone but him. See comments section. That said, the video is obviously a parody of one of those creepy dudes, well past his prime, hitting on a hot young woman, forever hopeful, forever oblivious to the idea that his mojo has moved on.
Only Carrey takes it a step further, trying to garner sympathy from Stone by repeatedly pointing out their age difference—and not exactly in a self-flattering way. In fact, the worst thing about Carrey's video is that he doesn't fully commit to his character. At the end of it, he silently mouths, "I love you," while his chin begins quivering a like tween in the presence of Justin Bieber. Jim Carrey is a celebrity who seems to be skirting the lines between these outcomes.
Carrey rose to fame in the s. After starring on the sketch comedy In Living Color , Carrey had a trio of comedic hits that all came out in The unexpected popularity of Ace Ventura: Pet Detective took everyone by surprise. Carrey starred in The Mask and Dumb and Dumber in the same year, and by the time all three had hit the theater, he had earned a reputation as a comedic star with a meteoric rise to success. His ability to command top dollar for future performances also gave him the chance to branch out and experiment beyond his typecast reputation.
Eventually, Carrey would play more serious parts like those in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Man On the Moon , earning critical acclaim for these dramatic portrayals. Carrey has never fallen too heavily into a specific genre.
