Jim Carrey: A Disturbed Genius

Total respect for Jim. He witnessed how superficial fame is, knows there's more to life and walked away from it at the top of his game. Good lad.

To be honest I was never that big a fan of Jim Carrey's movies I like some of them but others I really don't. Who he is as a person I think is amazing. To turn away from a career that he knew wasn't validating him and to try and be himself in Hollywood, a world that is as artificial as blue food, is one of the bravest things I've watched a human do. He's awesome.

Doing psychedelics with Jim Carrey sounds like one of those luxuries reserved for high-level royalty.

We literally watched him go through an existential identity crisis. I always thought during that period that he was so disturbed he almost became obnoxiously aggressive with his spirituality much like someone when they first begin to read self help books. You could see him struggling and now it seems like he has come to terms with whatever he has discovered. Must admit though there was a period where I thought he lost it. It’s funny my whole life I’ve heard people talk smack about depressed celebrities, telling them to shut up cause they are rich and have great lives. The idea that money and attention will make us whole continues to be a sickness we all suffer from until we face some version of it ourselves. Thanks for the great video 😊

In 2018, Jim Carrey received a text message while he was in Hawaii that a missile will hit in a matter of minutes. He frantically tried to call his daughter but his daughter wasn't picking up and time was running out. So he walked out into the beach and take "everything" in and told himself exactly that line in the end of this video "I had a wonderful and lucky ride in this life. And yes I had enough" and thanked Life. Clearly the missile alert was false, when it didn't happen. But that one moment changed him a whole lot he said recently, and he looks a lot more happier.

Jim Carrey a legend in comedy. No one is like him. The mask , Liar liar, ace ventura. Me myself and irene, the truman show, dumb and dumber, spotless mind, fun with dick and jane and yes man. All amazing, all 8/10+ movies in my opinion.

Jim is unquestionably an all time talent. People with that level of ability usually have some kinda weirdness.

As much as I loved all of the Great Movies and Laughter over the years, I must admit I really enjoy just seeing the space he's in now Spiritually - He has a certain glare in his eyes that confirms he has see many things beyond the Physical that are bringing him peace and connecting him more to the source. Thanks for everything you continue to do, Jim!

He's outstanding. Nothing but respect for this legend.

How many videos do you normally upload? Sometimes I swear I finish one and another one pop up and I be like " wait didn't I just finish the recent upload?"

I had a chance to run into him in California. One of the sweetest guys I've ever met. Rapping with that gent is a highlight of my life.

Him acting as Robotnik in Sonic touched my soul. I questioned the casting choice because he looks nothing like Robotnik, and then he nailed the character anyway 😂 total respect for the man

Love Jim. The most off-the-wall comedians often have the most complicated inner thoughts. He'd be a fascinating man to have a heart-to-heart philosophical discussion with.

His mom had BPD. that's brutal. Him wanting to cheer her up is a form of parentification.

Absolutely one of the most unique, special and most talented actors ever born, and for sure, one of my favorite ones ever. He has absolutely done enough and I hope he finds peace and happiness for the rest of his life. He has done so much and put smiles on countless faces for decades now, he deserves a piece of mind! I know people who never liked him but I just think they never understood his type of comedy and genius, which is a shame for them, imo. In any case, Jim is a freaking genius in many ways in my mind and I don't think we will see another one like him any time soon, if ever. I grew up on his movies and they will never stop being funny and exciting to me, no matter how many times I watched them.

your videos are absolutely incredible mate. honestly can't get enough

I've always loved his movies. I absolutely love how he BECOMES the character he's playing. Now, looking back, it feels like he could have used a good therapist to help him answer the questions he was asking himself. That said, he seems to be in a good place these days. I love that for him.

A comic genius and a good, honest man. What's not to love?

He’s a part of my childhood and someone I’ve always looked up to. He seems to have a great deal of sympathy which matters to me a lot, even with his fuck ups, and bouts of what may seem like “craziness”, I don’t see him as bad at all, who isn’t slightly “crazy” sometimes and or fucks up here and there. If anyone feels he needs forgiveness, I think he’s shown more than enough remorse for what ever “mistakes” or fuck ups that happen along the ride. He still has my respect and admiration.
