It's no longer time to retire for Jim Carrey. The actor, who announced in 2022 his intention to end his acting career to devote himself to painting, decided to return for the third part of Sonicin theaters December 25.
On the red carpet of Sonic 3a journalist from AP launched this Tuesday, December 10 to the actor: “You said in a previous interview that you would come out of retirement for a script written by the angels.”
“That was a bit of an exaggeration,” Jim Carrey replied with a laugh. “I came back to the (Sonic) universe because I have the opportunity to play a genie, which is a little difficult for me.”
“I bought a lot of things”
And adding, with a touch of humor: “You know, I bought a lot of things and I needed the money, to be honest.” Jim Carrey, who has devoted himself to painting for several years, only appeared in the trilogy Sonic since 2020.
“Look, I'm retiring. Yeah, probably. I'm pretty serious,” he said on the show Access Hollywood in April 2022, specifying that he wanted to be sure to participate in a film “that will definitely leave an impression on the public”.
The actor of The Mask et Ace Ventura aspires to a life of tranquility: “I enjoy my life. It is very calm. I like to paint. I like my spiritual life.” “I have the impression (…) that I have had enough,” he added. “I've done enough. I've had enough.”
One of Hollywood's most popular comedic actors, Jim Carrey enjoyed great success in the 1990s and 2000s before falling into retirement, marked by a series of flops in the late 2000s and 2010s.
