"I have enough, I've done enough, I am enough".

LEGENDARY, we all can aspire to say that one day. 🙌

[justanopinion]

nothing wrong with retiring everyone's gotta do it one day

[kipuchino]

I think he has always seen the writing on the wall for Hollywood. He's getting out whilst he still has some dignity. Ride on Jim🤙

[thedudewithvideos]

He has done some legendary roles of his lifetime, he deserves a quiet life now. Hope he has someone to take care of him 😊👍🏻

This bums me out to be honest .I’m happy for jim and he has earned his retirement but I know there will never be another Jim Carrey .A true one of a kind entertainer.

[BulltheGreat]

As he said, he did enough . And we all thank him eternally for that . He will never be forgotten ...

[terrancemoore]

Thank you Jim, for your time, for making me laugh all these years and for lifting us all up when we needed it. God bless you and your family in your retirement.

We'll miss you, but will never forget you, Mister Carrey...

Thank you Jim Carrey, for all the best childhood memories you gave us in the 90s and early 2000's you deserve that retirement and you need to be yourself more than a people pleaser, I and the rest of your fans say you definitely earned it.

[BboySalamon]

No, no, no. Dear Mr. Carrey, you're my hero since childhood, you're the Best comedian in the world and you're one of the best actors, in the world. Please, don't let us stay, without your very cheerful roles, that brings us happiness.

Will seriously miss seeing his movies. He is a gem of an actor and some of the roles he has played made a seriously positive impact on my life growing up.

[Magazino]

The day will come when someone decides to make a biopic about Jim Carrey. It's hard to wrap my head around how challenging that would be, or if they could even find an actor capable of doing him justice. Sure, he mostly stuck to comedy, but Carrey was one of a kind - with a unique personality, energy, and approach to acting that set him apart. He's one of those rare individuals who truly stand out as irreplaceable in their field. I can count on one hand the number of people I'd say that about.

Well don't disappear completely, you have brought so much joy into our lives. Will miss your sweet face 🥰

Thank you Jim, For adding a few more years onto my life expectancy from all the laughs from your great films.
A man of many talents, We all know him from the comedy movies but his other films are good as well, Also has a pretty good singing voice.
All the best to you in your future endeavours

Happy for him but sad at the same time... man he has probably my favorite comedy movies he was my childhood and now watching him as Eggman is rewarding as a Sonic fan. We love you Jim! And we are happy for you!

Hollywood is SCARED when someone considered their own calls them spineless. And he’s spittin. He is ENOUGH.

[aaronmckechnie]

Spineless. Amen. It's the Hollywood (fame) monster.
“The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.” ― Hunter S. Thompson
^Original source of the quote from Hunter S. Thompson’s book titled Generation of Swine: Tales of Shame and Degradation in the ‘80s (New York: Summit Books, 1988). The TV business is uglier than most things. It is normally perceived as some kind of cruel and shallow money trench through the heart of the journalism industry, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs, for no good reason.

Jim Carrey, you'll never read that message, but I love you man, you inspired me and cracked me up so many times. I'll miss you but I wish you eternal happiness. I hope to see you in the afterlife so that we can have a good laugh together.

Has millions in his pockets. I’d retire too because of this endemic.
