Is Jim Carrey really stepping away from the limelight, like, forever? A recent interview suggests just that. Carrey has flown under the radar in recent years, and he seems content with where he is at in his life and career. Some of his most loved films like “The Mask” and “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective” are behind him, and he said it would take a huge role to get him to return to the big screen in the future.
Ironically, Carrey was promoting his “Sonic the Hedgehog 2” movie when he dropped the bombshell news on Access Hollywood. “I am retiring. I am being fairly serious,” he shared, stating that “angels” would need to bring him a script in “gold ink” to do another movie. “I might continue down the road, but I’m taking a break,” he dished. “I really like my quiet life, and I really love putting paint on canvas, and I really love my spiritual life, and I feel like — and this is something you might never hear another celebrity say as long as time exists — I have enough. I’ve done enough. I am enough.”
As many know, Carrey has a very cool hobby outside of acting. According to Vulture, he’s very into painting and art, as he mentioned in his “Access Hollywood” interview. “If I wanted to stop, I couldn’t,” Carrey said of painting. It sounds like being an artist isn’t something Carrey will soon retire from!
