This article says it’s likely fillers and not radical cosmetic surgery: https://radaronline.com/p/jim-carrey-plastic-surgery-unrecognizable-new-face-explained/

I believe scientists call it “Mar A Lago face”.
This is sad.
Honestly if it wasn’t for the elevated cheeks it would have been a good.
Is he trying to escape from the police?
It’s just like kristin wiig… she hosted snl and i genuinely didn’t recognize her. She also just didn’t have the same over the top facial expressions, was sad to watch
Erin Moriarty from The Boys. Lip injections at 29.
Tragic. Why don’t famous people realise how much better it looks to age naturally?
Because Hollywood will shut you out if you age.
“Hollywood” is on it’s way out after the big heyday of the last 100 years or so. Everyone has a movie studio in their pocket nowadays and distribution is way easier than it used to be. So age naturally. There are other places to jump and prance than hollywood.
I’m going to play a little devil’s advocate, not about the “if they should” but more about how they end up looking unrecognizable.
I used to be very athletic. Then I got very heavy. Then I went back to athletic, but when I did so I ended up with the Mitch McConnell turkey neck. It was fugly, I’m not going to lie, and it bothered me. I’m also opposed to plastic surgery so I figured that’s the way it was going to be. Then I got cancer in my neck. After they cut out the tumor and all other affected tissue, they had to do a bit of reconstruction. Out went the cancer along with the turkey neck and my jaw line is looking like a million bucks. I’m hot again baby!
And that’s the problem. I can see somebody having a positive first experience with reconstructive surgery and assuming that more of it will make it more better. You feel better about yourself and suddenly believe that you can feel better still. You’d be wrong, but I get why you would think that.
try to get cancer to look better. got it
Alternatively, break your foot. I lost 40 pounds.
Thanks for the nuanced perspective. What a journey though, you don’t often hear about the silver linings of cancer treatment.
It is such a trap though, crazy to imagine not seeing it.
It’s a trap in the same way drugs can be. When a lot of your friends have had a bit of work done here and there and it looks great on them so you try, and the first few bits look good. But from there it’s really easy to go right off the deep end if you’re the wrong type of unwell. Just like how in a friend group where everyone smokes a bit of pot from time to time and some people enjoy a line or two at a party, one person who joins the group may find themselves absolutely hooked.
Actors and media personalities are at high risk for body image issues, and cosmetic surgery is a really dangerous thing for people with such issues. I’ve known people who got a few cosmetic surgeries and were happy, some are much safer than others for it, but it’s so easy for some people to fall into the trap of thinking that every perceived flaw should and can be fixed. Once you’re there it’s just body dysmorphia, no different from a stereotypical anorexic person, including inability to have a realistic view of one’s body.
unlike mcconnel you dont suck souls to stay a lich permanently.
its hollywood inner circle requirement. you must look 20years younger even if you dont look human anymore.
the ISAIP people, rob and kaitlyn was so drastic, and they are pretty desperate to stay in hollywood inner circles. rob even started collabing with semi- questionable people, ryan reynolds who himself had plastic surgery. even the fans in the sub are clowning on the appearance.
Nothing says glamour like rich old people badly failing to reclaim their youth. I wish Hollywood would hurry up and die.
Because Hollywood would have every actor and actress believe that they’re imperfect. There is a very strong wall that divides an actor/actress’s life than an average being. These people have specialized doctors who specifically operate in hollywood areas just for these things, you wouldn’t even have known to exist unless you’re a hollywood actor.
Doesn’t look bad per-se, but he definitely doesn’t look like the Jim Carrey everyone pictures in their head anymore. In fact I would 100% not be able to tell you who the person in that second picture is.
I wonder how much this gimps his iconic ability to crazily distort his face.
It’s different lighting, different facial expression, different angle and 20 years different. Plus the right image is touched with AI.
I just don’t see the big deal. Every has inflammation. It’s a known thing with age. Does he look different? Absolutely. It could be aging as much as fillers. He doesn’t look that different to me.
A man famous for having a morphable, changing face looks different in two different photos. Say it ain’t so.
Ohhh he’s just making that face on the right?
To be fair, the one on the left is probably from years ago. His face immediately before the fillers on the right was much older than the one on the left. Putting those two side-by-side isn’t exactly an honest before-and-after photo.
Here’s one from last year: https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/12/17/04/93219555-0-image-a-128_1734408756840.jpg
It doesn’t look bad IMO
It’s a pity that he feels bad about it to the point to do fillers

Looking like a 90s baddie in that vid.
Here he is in 2020. He had the surgery sometime 2023 or so, or at least, all the pictures I find post sonic 2 have way different cheeckbones. Also, the news articles about this most recent change say he got his previous stuff touched up (for the worse as seen in OPs post.)
Nope. He looks too different from his original face for this to have been a good idea. Good plastic surgery hides flaws and itself. This surgery didn’t hide nearly enough to be worth the changes he went through. Sucks for him, for sure.
he looks way normal in 2020, i think he overdid it.
For a guy whos schtick was the elastic face impressions, this seems like a not so wise move, but to each their own…
so the image supplied by OP has my AI senses tingling, at least the part on the right.
something is off about the glow of the skin and the hairline.
when searching for the whole image in tineye it does find a lot of instances of the left image.
when searching for only the right image it doesn’t find any.
while this does not mean a conclusive and definite indication that this is AI, i’m nevertheless doubtful.
so, @ickplant@lemmy.world , where did you find that image? i feel that while his transformation of his iconic face is already ruinous enough, why would we have to go one step further and display AI altered results?!This picture was from the Cesar Awards, which is a film awards thing in France held a few days ago. It’s definitely not AI
thanks a lot, that information was very valuable for the hunt of truth! so at the César award the pictures taken of him are definitely surprising as his normal face is hardly to be recognized:




let’s focus on the last picture: we can see in the background the writing of the award’s ceremony and a screen with a person on it, the subject at hand is wearing a black shirt with a black bow tie.

now we’ve got the same image composition of the last one (greenish background, screen with person in the back, head tilt) but he’s no longer wearing a bow tie but a turtle neck. also his eye colour has changed. so these last images are quite safe to be assumed as AI slop.
this takes us back to the beginning, in the photo composition of this submission Jim Carrey is also wearing a turtle neck, so i think we can also assume by extension that it is part of the same AI slop generated series of images.
@paranoid@lemmy.world for somebody with that handle, i would have assumed more skepticism ;)
I approach everything with a healthy amount of skepticism, and alter my stance when presented with evidence.
If you look up “jim carrey cesar awards speech” on your search engine of choice, you’ll see tons of articles about his changed appearance, and can even find his acceptance speech where he does his best speaking French. There was even an article published in the last few hours where he confirmed it was him and not a body double.
There is no AI or AI slop. But there are changes in lighting and angles, which can have a massive effect on appearances.
yeah, he could have always changed his dress shirt with bow tie into a turtleneck during the event
Oh god those look worse than both images in the original post
I got it off a post by a caricaturist, so if it’s AI, it could be him generating it but I doubt it. He probably grabbed it from someone else. Here is the image I cropped:

You’re right. It’s absolutely been breathed on by AI. You can see it in the hair, it looks perfect / unnatural.
So you think only the hair is AI?
No, the hair is the dead giveaway though
Data compression?
It’s weird I didn’t even consider AI.
got advice from jenny McCarthy.
repulsive, typical American fakiness
He’s Canadian.
He was Canadian. He moved to the US and has been a US citizen since 2004. About the time he started acting batshit and giving STIs to half the women in LA.
Still?
But the influence and trending data comes from America?
Canada is America, North America to be precise
Gringo es gringo
Canada is part of Turtle Island. America is a colonial conquest constructed and perpetrated by new worlders and Manifest Destiny. No other continent on Earth is named after a person.
Found a recent picture of him and he is indeed unrecognizable:

This is from the same day and it looks much less jarring. Lighting really makes a difference.

I genuinely wouldn’t recognise him…
Still pretty gross imo. Like, why?
looks a lot like old Val Kilmer
Jim Scary

If that’s the same person, they had shit ton of dental work done, because the angles are different
looks like he had veneers put on his teeth and a bunch of Botox.
They got to him. Big Face Filler got to him! If they can get to Jim, what hope is there?!

I’m not sure it’s the real Jim Carrey!
In the 2nd one he looks like Agent Cooper’s tulpa in the Twin Peaks reboot, down to the glassy black eyes.
Edit: I’m not entirely sure it’s not!
I think you’re missing the joke.
A doppelganger, if you will!
It is happening again
I would need to hear him say Okee Dokee. Or his response to a surprise “PABST BLUE RIBBON!” To guarantee he is not in fact Kyle MachLachlan
If only he’d stand up.
Challenge him to an arm wrestling contest
