Jim Carrey passed away on July 27th. Jim Carrey on dead girlfriend: 'She was too sensitive' Carrie's personal life

A cheerful look, a half-face smile or a funny grimace. This is how fans of actor Jim Carrey are used to seeing, whose biography is much sadder than the films in which he starred.

AT recent times everyone heard a story about the suicide of his beloved - Catriona White, who took her own life in September 2015. Their stormy, but at the same time and. And after another breakup, Catriona lost her nerve. Almost a year after her funeral, what former spouse White accused Jim Carrey of illegally buying strong drugs for his girlfriend who died of an overdose.

But life gave the famous actor not the most pleasant surprises before. Even at the age of 20, Carrey experienced severe depression, and his path to fame was not so easy.

From caretaker to actors

Jim, who grew up in a large and poor Canadian family, dreamed of the stage since childhood. The father, who dreamed of a career as a saxophonist, but worked as an accountant, tried to support his son's creative experiments. But when Jim was in the ninth grade, his father lost his job and the family had to move from Newmarket to the small town of Scarborough. All the children, due to financial difficulties, had to get a job at the factory as cleaners or night watchmen.

The world knows the Hollywood mask that it thinks is the face of Jim Carrey, but in reality it hides the face of a frightened Canadian boy whose family almost ended up on the street when his dad was thrown out of work. I will never get rid of this face, but it is hardly necessary to demonstrate it - the people do not like the unfortunate, it’s better to laugh at the mask

All this time, Kerry tried to gain popularity by performing in various comedy clubs, but his numbers were not successful. In 1977, a fifteen-year-old boy once again acted out a comedy monologue written with his father, but the performance turned out to be a failure. The teenager was very worried and decided to go on stage again only two years later.

For the first time luck smiled at Jim in Los Angeles - the 19-year-old actor began to perform inclub of Litrais Spivak. He was no longer booed, and since 1981, visitors began to go to the club aiming at Kerry's performances. Encouraged by the success, the aspiring comedian decided to try his hand at a more famous club"Comedy store", where fate brought him to the popular American comedian Rodney Dangerfield.

But soon the first successes were followed by severe disappointments. Kerry moved his family to Los Angeles, which greatly complicated his financial situation, and as a result, his family had to leave. Job offers also became tight. Because of all these events, Jim began a depression that lasted almost two years.

I have always believed that there must be difficulties in a person’s life, because only at such moments can we think more about our lives, about how and what we do, analyze, and eventually find some right solutions. I believe that problems make a person real

However, the black stripe was again replaced by a white one. Since 1983, Carrey began to actively act in films. After 10 years, he managed to become a superstar. He gained worldwide popularity in 1994 thanks to his role in his own film "Ace Ventura. Pet Detective." In the same year, Carrey played his most popular roles - Stanley Ipkiss in the comedy "The Mask" by Chuck Russell and Lloyd Christmas in the film "Dumb and Dumber" by the Farrelly brothers.

unlucky star

Multimillion-dollar fees, a nominal star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, prestigious awards, crowds of fans ... It would seem that a childhood dream was fulfilled and Kerry should have been absolutely happy. But the personal life of the actor has always been difficult.

In 1987 he first married Melissa Womer, who worked as a waitress at the Comedy Store. A daughter, Jane, was born in the marriage, but in 1995, Jim and Womer divorced. Prior to this, the actor survived first the death of his mother in 1991, and then the death of his father, who passed away in 1994, which was super successful for the actor Carrey.

My first marriage failed because we couldn't have a normal, quiet life. It is very difficult to film, to create, to experience all this craziness every day, and then just return home. After emotional overload, it is very difficult for me to calm down.

But the subsequent relationship of the actor was not long. The first marriage was followed by novels with actress Renee Zellweger, with model Anina Bing. In 1996, Kerry decided to marry again - to actress Lauren Holly. But after 10 months, the couple divorced. In the 2000s, he dated actress Jenny McCarthy, a student of Russian origin Anastasia Vitkina.

Death in 2015 of Kerry's last lover Catriona White, who was almost half his age, was a serious blow for the actor. He was very upset by the loss, attended the funeral and even.

I am deeply saddened by the death of my dear Catriona. She was truly kind and gentle - a real Irish flower, too sensitive for this earth, for whom to love and be loved was the most important thing in life. My thoughts are with her family and everyone who loved her and to whom she meant a lot. It's a big blow for all of us.

Despite the experience, the actor continues to work. In September 2016, the film "The Bad Batch" was released, where Kerry played one of the main roles. Of course, the film did not thunder like the most successful projects with the participation of Jim, but the tape was awarded several awards at the Venice Film Festival. So the Carrey actor is still not so bad.

Jim Carrey is rightfully considered one of the best comedians of our time. The actor has occupied a unique niche in Hollywood and has been pleasing the audience with funny roles for many years, which are especially spectacular due to the indescribable facial expressions and plasticity of the artist. He has many prestigious awards to his credit, while film critics note that the highest paid dream factory comedian has never become an Oscar contender.

Despite the constant humor in the cinema, Kerry's biography can hardly be called fun and easy. The actor's path to celebrity was thorny and full of failures, which he passed with dignity.

Childhood and youth

James Eugene Kerry was born in early 1962 in large family in the city of Newmarket. Jim became the fourth child in the family of Catherine and Percy Kerry, who, at the very least, maintained a life. The boy's mother once worked as a singer, but was forced to take care of household chores, raising children, so she never returned to the profession. His father was a successful accountant and the main breadwinner in the family.

From an early age, the future movie star loved to entertain others with parody. Jim made funny faces, which invariably brought smiles to the faces of classmates and teachers.

The boy recorded parodies on camera, and when more than 80 sketches accumulated, he ventured to send them to the popular comedy show Carol Barnet. At that time, Kerry was 11 years old. However, Jim never received an invitation to a TV program or even an elementary answer to his letters.

The actor's family lived in poverty, but the boy found out about real problems with money at the age of 14. Jim's father was fired from his job, and the family had to travel around the country in search of work. The family settled in suburban Toronto, where the elder Kerry took a job as a security guard at a firm. Alas, the father's earnings were definitely not enough, and the children also had to earn extra money as cleaners. At the same time, the young comedian was waiting for the first disappointment in the professional field. The father took his son to the local club "Yak-yak", where Jim had the opportunity to perform on stage with his number. The audience booed the future Hollywood star. This was the last straw for the young man, and he stopped the performance, withdrawing into himself.

Fortunately, the period of failures and hardships passed for the Kerry family, the children quit their hated jobs, and the father found another source of income. The couple had to live in a trailer, but it was a small price to pay for freedom from disrespectful work. Jim went to Eldershot High School and gradually got out of his introvertedness and also found a job in a steel mill.

In 1979, the future actor, having no musical education, founded the Spoons group, playing in the style of " new wave". Jim also took the risk of re-entering the stage in the same club, which a few years ago he left in disgrace. In his youth, handsome and tall (the humorist's height is 187 cm), the young man had every chance of becoming a musician or an artist of a romantic role, but Jim did not forget the dream of comedy. This time the audience turned out to be more supportive of the young talent. Under his patronage, the artist was taken by the manager Litrais Spivak, who made him a real celebrity of the institution.

Carrey's performances attracted people from all over Toronto, critics unanimously called the actor a rising star. On the stage of the Yak-Yak club, Jim was noticed by another eminent comedian Rodney Dangerfield and offered to perform as an opening act for him in Las Vegas. Jim agreed, but did not work with Rodney for long, as Carrey was attracted by Hollywood, which was now very close. So the young man ended up in Los Angeles, where he began working at the Comedy Shop comedy club and attended all available auditions.

Movies

Carrey made her television debut on the comedy stand-up show An Evening at the Improv in 1982. Some time later, he was invited to the nightly talk show The Tonight Show. But the future actor dreamed of a "big meter" and participation in full-fledged films.

In 1983, Jim's dream partially came true, Kerry was offered leading role young comedian in the film "Rubberface" and another tape called "Mount Kupper". Both films were planned low-budget and released for home viewing.

In 1984, the artist was invited to the children's animated sitcom The Duck Factory, which was closed a month later. But during the existence of the show, it managed to give Jim a lot of useful acquaintances and draw the attention of not the last directors in Hollywood to him. Then the actor met the director, who invited the comedian to his club to parody him and others. famous people. For some time, the artist worked in a club, but later said that he did not want to become famous thanks to a parody.

Success and first world fame came to Kerry after participating in the comedy Ace Ventura: Pet Detective in 1993. The film came out ambiguous, from the very beginning the picture was haunted by problems: the most famous comedians refused to participate in the comedy, and Jim agreed to the role only on the condition that the script and the image of the main character be completely revised.

The picture was very popular with the audience, the box office exceeded the budget, and the performer received the first MTV Movie Awards. But the critics were not so supportive: they smashed the tape to smithereens, and the actor was awarded the Golden Raspberry as the worst new star.

Subsequent tapes with Jim's participation could not leave even critics indifferent: the films "Mask" and "Dumb and Dumber" became world hits, giving the audience the love of the new Hollywood comedy star. Kerry's buffoonery was more than appropriate in The Mask, where main character occasionally transforms into a green-faced god.

Since 1996, Kerry has been a star on Saturday Night Live, where he has directed humorous sketches and music videos. In sketches, Jim parodies popular films, celebrities, and himself. The actor dances disco, ballet and pretends to be a tourist, portrays a singer, a lifeguard or a fitness trainer.

A sketch from the Roxbury Guys series, which often appears under the title "What is love?", has gained viral popularity. according to the refrain of the song playing in the video. Jim Carrey and Chris Katten played three brothers who are unable to meet girls at parties. Much of the action of the clip takes place in the car as the party goers drive from party to party. The sketches of this series were so fond of the audience that based on the videos they shot the full-length film Night at the Roxbury.

In the big cinema, the iconic role of the actor was the character Fletcher Reed from the movie "Liar, Liar", released in 1997. For this role, Jim turned down another no less interesting movie"Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery". Curiously, this was the first picture where the audience could see the natural hair color of their favorite actor, before that Carrey starred either in wigs with unthinkable hairstyles or with wild-colored hair. The film brought the actor a second Golden Globe nomination and another MTV award.

Carrey has achieved immense fame as a comedian. Most of the roles played by him have a humorous connotation, but Jim did not stop at a comedic role. In 1998, he played a leading role in the drama The Truman Show. The hero of Kerry is a man who found out that his whole life turned out to be a rigged reality show. Truman sometimes allows himself jokes and antics, but this is definitely a dramatic character.

In 1999, Carrey starred in Andy Kaufman's biopic Man in the Moon. The film showed the tragic side of the life of a man who seemed cheerful and funny to the audience.

In 2000, Jim returned to the comedy genre that brought him popularity and played a police officer with a split personality in the film Me, Myself and Irene.

In the same year, the family film "Grinch Stole Christmas" was shown, in which the comedian reincarnated as an evil creature that prevents the inhabitants of a provincial town from celebrating their favorite holiday. In 2003, the actor played one of his best comedic roles, a man who received divine powers, in the film Bruce Almighty.

In 2007, Jim decided to experiment again and starred in Joel Schumacher's mystical thriller The Fatal Number 23. Critics did not appreciate the actor's performance and nominated Kerry for the Golden Raspberry.

Another atypical role for Jim was the role in the drama I Love You Phillip Morris, where Kerry played Steven Russell, a gay guy. There were many problems with the film, because of the explicit scenes, the film was refused to be shown in cinemas, but nevertheless it was released on screens in 2010.

Fans and critics reacted coolly to the project, and the artist again returned to filming in comedies. One of them was the family film "Mr. Popper's Penguins", in which Jim played the role of the protagonist, an animal advocate.

In 2014, the actor appeared in the action comedy Kick-Ass 2, where he played the leader of the protagonist's followers, self-proclaimed masked heroes, Colonel America.

Over time, Kerry tries to act more in serious dramatic films. Fans attribute this to the age of the performer and the fact that the actor does not want to remain a hostage to one role.

In 2016, the comedian's filmography was replenished with the romantic thriller The Bad Batch. In October of the same year, the presentation of the crime drama with the participation of Kerry "True Crime" took place at the Polish Festival.

Personal life

In 1983, Kerry dated singer Linda Ronstadt for 8 months, but the relationship did not work out, and the young people broke up. After 4 years, actress and waitress at the Comedy Store, Melissa Womer, appeared in the comedian's personal life.

Shortly after they met, Jim proposed to the girl. And in September 1987, the couple had a daughter, Jane Erin. The couple's relationship was not always smooth and was accompanied by serious quarrels, which in 1995 led to a divorce. Kerry had to pay ex-wife$7 million settlement.

Divorce seriously affected Kerry's mental health, the actor fell into depression and began to use antidepressants, which soon stopped helping. Then Jim took a step forward healthy lifestyle life and went in for sports, replacing antidepressants with vitamins.

Kerry remarried a year later. An actress became his chosen one, this marriage also turned out to be short-lived: after 10 months the couple divorced. In the future, Jim met with eminent ladies of Hollywood, including an actress and fashion model.

The artist's lover at one time was a Russian ballerina. According to her, they had several romantic dates, but the difficult work schedule of the artists became the reason for their separation.

In February 2010, Kerry became a grandfather, the actor's daughter Jane gave birth to a boy named Jackson Riley.

In it, the comedian is holding on to his leg, which accidentally fell under the wheel of a scientist's wheelchair. During the life of the physicist, celebrities maintained friendly relations, and the artist often visited his friend, who had an unconventional sense of humor.

Another shot with Kerry and his companion Jenny McCarthy was taken on the coast of Malibu. Seeing the paparazzi who kept up with the couple, the humorist decided to surprise them. He appeared in front of the cameras in a swimsuit of his beloved, in which the girl was sunbathing on the beach an hour before.

Catriona died in September 2015 after ending her relationship with Jim Carrey. The body was found by police at her home in Los Angeles. Dating the actor, formally Catriona was married to Burton.

“I can’t believe for three days that you are not around. I could try to move on, try to mend a broken heart. I could, but this time I have neither the strength nor the desire. I'm sorry you felt like I didn't support you. I tried to give you the best part yourself,” White wrote, referring to Kerry.

In her message, she also asked for forgiveness from her family and friends. “I am not made for this world,” wrote Catriona.

Last October, Kerry attended the funeral of his ex-lover. He carried the coffin with the body of a 28-year-old girl. According to the actor, he was deeply saddened by the news of Catriona's death.

In general, usually such sad events with stars fall on the first lines of the news, and when information is from some narrow sources, it usually turns out to be someone's stupid joke.

Of course, all this turned out to be unverified information. Our media and Western media, as always, in pursuit of a sensation, made another mistake. In fact, Jim Carrey is alive and well, which he wishes for everyone - he considers this fact an unfortunate mistake. However, this is not the first time messages of the same kind in relation to others.

All this is an advertising lure that lures you to visit a particular site on the World Wide Web. The Canadian is very much alive and well. If this Hollywood comedian really died, the man with the rubber face, as he is called, then all means would rattle about it. mass media, television news and so on, and so we do not hear or see it.

After all, if such rumors appear, then someone makes money on it, and in this case it is the yellow press and yellow Internet sites. They just make money from advertising on a wave of requests.

No. Jim Carrey is alive and will live for a long time, since such a rumor has appeared. If this were true, then such information would appear on major news resources. And so it's all a lie, especially when it is written in banners, advertisements and so on.

Nowhere except mdk is such nonsense written, so don't believe it)

Jim Carrey is not dead, the comedian's spokesman said. But rumors about the death of the artist quickly spread around the world. It is not clear who launched them and for what purpose. Either journalists, or the comedian himself was joking ..

This is most likely an unfortunate misunderstanding, today the great guitarist JJ Cale died, for sure someone misunderstood and let the duck, JJ Cale name is Johnny Cale.

• Is Jim Carrey dead?

  Jim Carrey is alive and well, and what he wishes to all living fans of his acting talent...

  The exaggeration of unverified rumors about the supposedly reliable and confirmed fact of the death of famous people, both Russian and foreign, is unfortunately not uncommon on the Internet today. Especially on various kinds of publics in in social networks and blogs. Who needs it and why? I do not understand. Turnip cheating and drawing attention to your own Internet resources? What is it for asking?

  Eccentrics with the letter M from MDK VK fully justify their name. Although the reason for the appearance of such posts is also unclear. They seem to have about three million subscribers anyway ... It looks like the topic is working, probably all their subscribers have fallen for such fictitious, hot news.

  Recently they buried Brad Pitt, also in absentia, Marina Vladi, and some of the Russian and foreign actors are periodically buried ... Now a virtual bony with a scythe has come for Jim Carrey. Who is next?
