Comedian and actor Jim Carrey celebrates his sixty-second birthday today, and ahead of its celebration, he hosted a star-studded bash at a private restaurant called San Vicente Bungalows in West Hollywood. He was with Jimmy Kimmel, Bill Burr, Seth Green, Adam Sandler, Jeff Ross and Dustin Hoffman.
Carrey is known for his works in Ace Ventura, Bruce Almighty, The Grinch, Dumb and Dumber, The Cable Guy, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. He started acting in the 1980s but became one of Hollywood’s greatest comedic stars in the ‘90s.

“I’m 60 and sexy! And tonight, I’m having creamed corn and strained peaches.”
Carrey has been a fan-favorite comedian whose career spanned many decades, and despite his success in the industry, he chose to break away from it. The actor previously announced that he plans to retire, lead a quiet life, and focus on painting which he picked up as a hobby.
In 2018, he told The Hollywood Reporter the reason why he wanted to quit the spotlight:
“I didn’t like what was happening, the corporations taking over and all that. And maybe it’s because I felt pulled toward a different type of creative outlet, and I really liked the control of painting — of not having a committee in the way telling me what the idea must be to appeal to a four-quadrant whatever.”
In the same year, he still returned for Showtime’s Kidding, though he assured fans that he was not back in the same way. In 2020, Carrey starred as Doctor Eggman in Sonic the Hedgehog. The franchise was a massive success, and with the tentative retirement of the actor, Paramount Pictures is not looking to recast his role.
Is Jim Carrey Officially Retiring From Acting?
Despite fans feeling delighted to see Jim Carrey return for the 2022 sequel of Sonic the Hedgehog, many were left confused and accused the actor of being a liar after he announced his retirement. The actor seemed entirely not certain about his decision, as per his interview with Access Hollywood:
“It depends, if the angels bring some sort of script that’s written in gold ink that says to me that it’s gonna be really important for people to see, I might continue down the road, but I’m taking a break.”
So, at the moment, the In Living Color star is only taking his time off and might come back if there’s a project that would arrest his attention. In the meantime, he likes to delve into other hobbies.
“I really like my quiet life, and I really love putting paint on canvas, and I really love my spiritual life.”
Carrey was also a recipient of Golden Globe Awards, People’s Choice Awards, MTV Movie & TV Awards, and Critics Choice Awards, to name a few.
