Jim Carrey is undoubtedly one of the world’s most recognized comedians. Carrey — whose career spans over three decades — recently announced he was taking a break from Hollywood, but used the moment to throw shade at Will Smith. While at the Los Angeles premiere for the film “Sonic the Hedgehog 2,” Carrey made the shocking revelation that he would be stepping away from acting once his promotional duties for the animated sequel end.
“I gotta get out of here before I slap someone,” Carrey said to Entertainment Tonight. “Honestly, I feel like there’s so many things, because I’ve been so busy for so long, important things that I’ve ignored.” Carrey’s jab at Smith makes sense, as the Toronto-born entertainer has had a storied career as a standup comic.
Fans of Carrey, who are wondering about his post-acting plans, will have to wait for another announcement. However, Carrey has already begun to venture into other creative outlets. He published his first children’s book, “How Roland Rolls,” in 2013. Carrey also earned his first New York Times bestseller with the 2020 memoir, “Memoirs and Misinformation,” co-written by Dana Vachon.
