Depression is very common among comedians.

[MicheleMJJ]

His story reminds me of Robin Williams. Making people laugh and forget their troubles, when they are hurting inside.

Insanity is a side effect of lack of
Adrenochrome

He went off the rails in his hatred for Trump. Obsessive & mean-spirited, his antiTrump paintings were bizarre

[toddkarrick]

I used to really like him But not so much any more.

It's a far better idea to fail at something you love than to fail at something easy

YOU NEED THE LORD JESUS CHRIST JIM, AND DO NOT NEED HOLLYWOOD WHICH SUCKS THE LIFE OUT OF YOU.

Mental illness can be hereditary sadly.

Jim Carey himself credits In Living Color with giving him his first real break in show business and not even an honorable mention?

This should be titled "The Triumphs of Jim Carrey." The guy is a human with tragedy and success like all of us, but he works hard, overcomes, and does it all for love and with style. God bless him!

Omg... I can't believe there are trolls in these comments. It's not like Carrey will even see them, but really - this is in bad taste. Jim is an undisputed genius; no matter what. Like other comedic geniuses he has good and bad days. Like any artist he can go from complete elation to nearly suicidal. We all do. It's our M.O. It's what makes us artists great.

[barbarahedges]

In the past few years, he has lost it. He seems demonized and not playing with a full deck. He has gotten hateful.

[dantemessiano]

Omg. Come on, really? Jim Carrey grew up to be one of the funniest bastards on Earth. As far as a hard childhood.. I don't think so That's just what millions and millions of families have gone through.

Jim Carey is an amazing person. Yes he had a hard life but it led him finding himself enlightened!!! I wish more people were like him and used their trauma to grow. It’s upsetting to see how many people in the comments just have no clue about the world I see and feel around me. But that’s okay as long as there are others out there like Jim showing that life has ups and downs and you can find peace if you look inside yourself

[spugrich]

And we are supposed to feel sorry for him?

[leonardomattarmonteiro]

SENSEI JIM CARREY.
A living LEGEND.
An overflowing fountain of TALENT.
A brave man as well, who had the balls to face the evil powers that destroy our planet only to be almost crushed by the status quo.
BUT we LOVE YOU, SENSEI CARREY.
Free will IS an illusion indeed

I bet Lorne Michaels wishes he could have seen his audition.

[whiteknighttemplar]

Jim Carrey - gone completely nuts. Looney bin nuts. Sad. Used to be funny. Now just another nutter that Hollyweird abandoned. Will anyone remember his name?

[teresafraser]

Jim is a blessed roll model for everyone upon this planet 🙏 He is a phenomenal spiritual teacher through all the characters that he embodies therefore only the awakened will be able to resonate with and for those that this statement doesn't....I pray that you allow yourself to think outside the box of confirmaty of conditioned beliefs 🙏

[mealbla]
