You know smoking a cigarette beating himself in the leg and eating everything in sight actually sounds exactly like the Grinch
wrestle with my self-loathing... dinner with myself, I can't cancel again!
this guy is such a wuss. He probably is also one of those girly men who is scared to death get an MRI at the doctors' office.
Accurate
Do not like this post anymore!
No wonder why he seemed so angry as the Grinch. It was probably authentic lol
Lol I was thinking the same thing
I’m surprised he managed to stay sane after all those years xD
@@EB1493 you are assuming Jim is sane?
🤣🤣🤣
It also probably added to the grinch's happiness at the end of the movie (assuming they actually shot those scenes last). Jim would've known he was almost done :P
Literally no one else could pull off this role but Jim Carrey
Off* role*
How pathethic is that -to correct someone's mistakes on the Internet, and especially 3 YEARS after the comment was made....
Its Toxic Monto!
Slow the show down....just a little bit
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 awe well, how pathetic is that -to call someone pathetic for correcting someones spelling pathetic a month after
He was born for it indeed.
He NAILED the role. Might be the greatest performance of his career. Especially considering the circumstances he was under.
+RarelyEvenn Greatest performance of his career was The Truman Show, and possibly Liar Liar. Honourable mention goes to Dumb & Dumber.
He didn't have to dress up in a costume from head to toe 100 times in those movies. He also didn't have to live up to the expectations of following another hit like he did with The Grinch.
All great roles. But the one that stood out for me was "Me, Myself and irene". The more I watch it, the more I am amazed at how he did that strange kind of role! Very different, especially the scene where both characters inside him argue and fight with each other. Great performer.
RarelyEvenn Umm, Jim Carrey was already a big name before he starred in The Grinch. The expectations were high well before that movie.
Definitely not his greatest performance. Are we forgetting "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"?
For one of those days of shooting, Ron Howard spent the whole day dressed up in full Grinch makeup to get an idea of what he was putting Jim through. Now that’s what you call a good director.
I kinda wanna see what Grinch Ron Howard looks like now
@@mrcritical6751 Probably like when Grinch directed Max to be Rudolph lol
@@justinbrooks9072 I love that 😂
He did make a cameo in the movie and went through makeup to appear as one of the villagers which is probably the closest thing you can find.
@@mrcritical6751 czcams.com/video/oeMFIbS2b-A/video.html here ;)
Never understood why some people don't like this guy, he is a riot and an amazing genuine good person!
Toph Beifong There are people who don't like Jim? He is a fucking legend here in India and that's without people watching all of his great stuff
+Toph Beifong The only people who don't like Jim are the idiots who watch fox news.
*****
Well you see the real problem is Americans don't even listen to the entire context of what he was saying. He said assault rifles should be banned. "assault rifles".
+HabsINK25th Wich is true. lol
+Kapsproductions Well let me tell you that NOBODY thought that video was a satire.
I love how genuinely interested Jude Law is
In fairness, he needed CIA training to play a Dr. Seuss character. That is pretty interesting.
@Joel Roy The woman on the right I suppose
Jude Law was just glad he didn't have to do that. 😂😂😂
Jude seems facinated about Jim, like he idiolize him :)
Don't we all?
Who wouldn't be though. Jim Carrey is a fantastic actor, and a legendary Hollywood icon
I think it's admiration for the work he's done. That's what I love about some Actors. They really respect their counterparts work.
Yeah I noticed that. I thought he was going to jump on him at one point.
***** was he?
The things that actors go through to entertain people. I couldn't imagine having to go through that.
Isatu Mansaray they also get paid millions of dollars so...
It doesn't matter how much money actors get paid. They still risk their lives or even serious body injury to entertain. Also, not every actor gets paid "millions" of dollars to do a movie.
It matters alot.
If they don't get paid, they do it to entertain or for fame.
If they do get paid they do it for money, fame and possibly entertain.
Isatu Mansaray yes it does they get paid millions while people who work day and night and actually do something productive don't get one-fifth of there income even with working there whole life
Poor Jim Carrey with his 150 million dollars. I wonder how he copes!
Bruh now that's an amazing actor! Thanks for making my childhood so memorable Jim Carrey.
Yeah he so darn talented
iknow
He did far better stuff on his stand-ups. As for the acting, he's mediocre IMO. He's talented in stand-up comedy though.
+LukeInside yeah in stand up he's able to be is own and come up with his own things. When acting he has to follow the script so of course he'll be better in stand up
Andrea Flores lol ur Naruto pic with the thumbs up goes so well with ur comment
People say they hate Jim carey, but I bet he could make anyone laugh in person.
Dr.Micheal Ambrose I just don't like that he advocates for parents to not vaccinate their kids.
lol
Unique Unit idk why but I died laughing at this 😂
Ross Mumper does he really? Honestly, that makes me love him even more
Unique Unit did he explain what he's personal reasons were?
Jude law fascinated by everything Jim says is me.
Soha S. I nuuu(: it was so cute! Hahah
Soha S. me too!
I mean all of us would be if next to a legend
Jim Carrey is a rare actor that broke the most insane of type casts as goofball and was in gripping movies like the Truman show, etc. he’s a real actor and story teller
I’m fascinated in what Jim said to you too!
Thank you Mr. Carrey for giving us the greatest Christmas movie of human history
wow, really?
what about muppets christmas
Are we living in a world without Jingle All the Way...?
Red Floyd
Oh yeah there are AWFUL ones for sure but there are also just downright phenomenal ones as well. There just happens to be way more terrible Christmas movies than good ones. Diamonds in the rough and all that
You guys are forgetting about the Star Wars Holiday Special.
Jim's CIA advice is actually very good. When I wake from a nightmare, instead of laying there still traumatised I would get up to get something to eat etc. to break my thought cycle. So I'm taking more of these tips onboard!
My "nightmares"are just minor nuisances nowadays
I just rewatched it and based on his caliber as an actor, I can see why, at face value, folks might not see this as a top performance for him BUT knowing that this was over 2 decades ago when no leading role had been "monster make up" since The Fly, Jim being able to provide a performance that was engaging for kids is truly a testament to his stamina as a performer and I think he did rely on a lot of muscles/skills he honed doing standup and I think that's why the performance is the way it is. I know that had this film been attempted with our current updates to special effects make up and such - speed and conform wise - Jim might then have been able to give a more layered performance. But damn, I can see why he would never want to do a project like that again.
*_"You know what got me through it? The paycheck."_*
Fixed.
How can you say that? He told Ron Howard after day one he couldn't do it because the make up was torturous to him
$20 million PLUS merchandising Sign me up!
like he needs money rofl
Clearly you don't know how rich people operate! They always want more!
Nah, he could easily make just as much money doing other movies. He was already a star.
Jim did such a fantastic job on the Grinch. I can imagine him going through hours of torture.
I don't think any captor/interrogator would take him seriously; they'd be laughing too much to concentrate on their torture!
***** *PUNCHS THE GRINCH* WHERE DID YOU BURY SANTA?!!! *PUNCHS AGAIN* ANSWER ME YOU FUCK!
Gotta love Jim Carrey! LEGEND.
The true legend here was John Candy
Damn dude, long time no see! I thought the Gas Bill killed you!?
Wow I love jim Carrey hes so good
800 hours total of makeup!! Thats way too intense for me. But I guess when your paid 20,000,000 for a 6 month job, it makes it a bit easier.
I'd skin 20% of my leg for 20 million dollars.
Newport1 Let's be real, I would do that for $10,000.
I'd do it for a tenner and a bag of ket.
RoScFan I would quit quit school for 20 million dollars.
its not 800 hours. Only the first time took 8 hours to apply because they were still figuring out what they were gonna do. if you watch the interview with rick baker and the rest of the makeup team for the Grinch you'd know that once they knew what they were gonna do, it would only take 3 hours to apply it.
dude went through torture to make millions of people around the world love the grinch movie. respect is not expected, it is earned.
i am so super appreciative of Jim Carrey, i was getting abused at a very young age and the Grinch was my favorite movie and escape from it. i have fond memories of watching it over and over. excellent movie. i hope he’s reminded every day how much his work has lifted so many people’s spirits.
Hope you are safe now! God bless.
❤❤
The god damn pen is blue!
Worth every minute of makeup to create that classic. It's incredible to go back to The Grinch now - that perfect oasis of early-2000s cinema where we still had 90% practical effects, makeup, sets, etc with a just bit of CGI to fill in the gaps. Timeless stuff.
The thought of Jim Carrey being mad as hell while in full Grinch makeup and costume and putting his foot through a wall makes me smile
One more Ace Ventura... just give us one more, please...
too late for that
please dont. ace ventura 2 was horrible
+Mike Gucciardi they are both great
+Mike Gucciardi no wayyyyyyy lol 2 might even be my favourite...
+spade749 i wonder if we can get that kick-started?! =)
Jim Carrey brought so much laughter and joy in my household, I love this man. He is up there with Robin Williams in my book.
Poor Jim :') but he's amazing and no one could have played the grinch better :)
No wonder why he is not being offered any good roles
HeyItsH Jealous much? Mind your own money, loser.
Much agreed, they ruined other movie attempts. More due to forcing social engineering trends of the social justice flavor. At least from what I’ve read and heard on its reasons of failure. Jim Carrey was the only successful Dr Sues to date.
@@rajatthakur3058 He's getting roles now he's the Doctor Robotnik from Sonic
WOW!!! 100 times in that grinch makeup?!?! I absolutely love Jim Carrey and the movie but, I have a whole new respect for him and that movie!! OMG!
Man, when he said “It’s for the kids” that’s was so sweet from his part
I agree this was literally my fav childhood Christmas movie that i would watch post christmas
"Who Taught CIA operatives how to endure torture. Thats how I got through the Grinch"
Thats how I got through the Grinch too...
sounds like something the grinch would say
oh well done sir!
TheOrangeType Not many have made water come out of my nose from laughter, but you have done just that.
DamageIncM Someone's a bit grumpy.
+TheOrangeType nice play on phrases hehehe
He deserves an oscar for that movie and I don't care if people don't agree he is one of the greatest actors ever!!!
Glad to hear from you...
Thank you for your love and support..
Where are you watching from??
"Not the CIA operative....the beegees."
The things that actors go through to entertain people. I couldn't imagine having to go through that.
“It’s for the kids, it’s for the kids...”
Bee Gees got him thru it. Nice!! Music is a healer.
+Gab rielle lol thought he said the BJs.
He was probably listening to stayin alive the most
Knowing that he was miserable the whole time makes me appreciate the movie even more.
I am so glad Jim withstood all of that torture because The Grinch Is one of my all time favorite movies!
8 hours is a good night's sleep... If it was me I would try to get both things done at the same time...
yi g u
That's what they usually do I think is do the two at the same time
David Guerra from what he says, it must be an extremely uncomfortable makeup preparation. doesn't sound like you could be able to rest comfortably
Love you wouldn’t be allowed to sleep - that would mean reapplying makeup which would take even longer
Chanel Coco I bet your do beautiful
Thank you, Jim. The Grinch movie was the first Christmas present I ever remember asking for and receiving, and I got it from my beloved grandmother who soon after passed away. I grew up watching it so often that I now likely know most of the dialogue. It's an incredibly nostalgic movie, and I'm so grateful that you stuck through it all for us.
Jim Carrey is honestly one of my favorite actors ever. The Mask, Ace Ventura, The Truman Show, Dumb and Dumber, Eternal Sunshine, Cable Guy, Liar Liar, and Batman Forever was all I ever watched on VHS whenever I'd visit my dad.
I also like Bruce Almighty
Awww, lovely! What I like is how different he is in those roles. I know my dad wouldn't have 'got' Ace Ventura, but he loved the Mask, with it's song and dance routines (despite being more OTT) - he was like 'who's this guy?!'
My personal favourite comedy role was the Riddler, he could have just done camp there, but he added so much more to it.
As a kid who grew up with this movie, I thank you Jim for enduring that torture as it’s one of my favorite movies.
It might had been torture, but he did such a good job. It's one of my favorite holiday movie.
Agree, it is a favorite.
"It's for the kids, it's for the kids"...
To be more precise, it was for 30 million kids ;))
"Stayin Alive" had a whole other meaning for Jim
I didn't know that he had to go through all this for that role, and he did it for us
It really sucks it was like that for him but I’m so thankful he did it cause it’s my favorite to watch every Christmas
I just love how Graham Norton interviews everyone is so at ease and you get to see the goofy normal sides to actors that normally you would never get to see. X
I love him all his movies make me laugh, especially the mask that one was his best one ever
Ron Howard also called up Don Knotts, one of Jim Carrey’s favorite actors, to hang out on the set for a day and chat with him. Ron was always considerate like that. 😁
I'm just picturing The Grinch storming off to his trailer, then a green leg smashing through a wall
I knew the costume times were long but had no idea it was that intense! Thanks Jim for enduring that, its become a tradition that I have to watch this every year. Just finished watching it actually haha
Even the makeup artist quit during filming. He sought mental health therapy. He knew how painful it was for Jim and it destroyed him seeing Carrey pretty much dread sitting through application, see the shift into madness over it, and know he was part of the cause and he helpless in it. He only came back after Carrey received training and Ron Howard agreed to help him with his green card. The movie was brutal for both of Carrey and his makeup team.
The first and last time that I cried with laughter watching a comedy was with "Liar, liar". Jim Carrey is absolutely funny and I'll never understand people who think otherwise
He makes me laugh and in tears
i almost burst out laughing during an exam because i was reading what i had written with jim carrey's voice in my head (i can change the voices in my head to other people, please say others can do this) and he said 'Alrighty Then' at the end, it was hilarious
it was Ace Venture that read it
I actually do this too with actors but not Jim carry
"The BeeGees helped me through it." Good man Jim Carrey hahaha.
He was Staying Alive! 😎
I don't understand why, ppl don't like him. He's funny in a different why that genuinely helps when I'm moody. Lol I love Jim
This was a very interesting fact to learn. Goes to show how far actors often go in preparing for roles, and it's amazing how Jim Carrey never broke character once during the film with all that make-up on his face.
Jim Carrey always rocks, he certainly knows how to explain a situation / story :D
Shout out to Jude Law for showing ABSOLUTE respect to Jim to what he went through
The older I get the more I understand why the Grinch isolated himself on a mountain with a dog.
What a treasure. He's been through some tough stuff. I hope he's in a good place mentally.
God he's aged a lot since I last saw him, but then I haven't really seen him in movies for a while.
People say actors have it easy I can’t imagine how much energy it took for him to do the grinch and even the mask it’s crazy how much he puts into his characters
People only ever see the glamorous side of it- the premiers, rich lifestyle, the popularity, but not the actual work. Big blockbuster actors work around the clock.
I recently got into acting in my local community theatre and found out just how much energy a good performance actually requires, even in just a normal costume, so I can’t imagine the energy and patience it took to pull this role off- the caricatured acting style whilst being buried alive in a costume and make up that took 8 hours to apply every day.
@@youngpunk15 I know right? It’s crazy
I just realized it's a small Lemony Snicket reunion with Jude and Jim
"it's for the kids it's for the kids it's for the kids".... i love Jim Carrey
SO LOUD THE MUSIC IN THE END, PLEASE STOOOOOP
How about no.
"NO!"-Grumpy Cat
So much respect for actors who have to endure so much stuff like this for a role. It sounds incredibly difficult
"HUHHH!...could you give me a light?...HUHHH!!!"
This is why I love you Jim
He almost quit ? Wow, so sorry Jim that you went through all that for the kids..and u know what the movie was the boom and it made history to Christmas…was fun, and brings laughter to our kids when watching it…oh my nephews and nieces really love the Grinch movie..they watched it more than 2 in a week…🥂❤️❤️❤️
Jim is a Gem haha 😄 I don't think people don't like "him" I think they got tired of the "type casting" (playing the same role) but he broke out if it later on intentionally and hes a genuine great actor and nice dude. Hope he does more movies!
Absolutely iconic after all these years Jim carry as the Grinch still the most fun , relatable and emotional film ever. Always cheer me up..
That movie is a comedic masterclass from Jim Carrey. No one else could have played that role that well
I must admit I think Graham’s format makes the actors be more themselves than some caricature that they’re known for and I think it’s great seeing some of those layers peeled away and seeing James Carrey instead of what we all know that Jim Carrey became.
actor that helped me during my tough times. i loved him in the yes man. that movie truely inspired me
ugh... my favorite man on earth. thank you jim!! from the bottom of my heart... this movie was my entire joy when i was little, still is to this day.
Jim Carrey should definitely be the first person sitting on that couch, comedic genius and one of the greatest actors of the past 20 years.
Him just sitting there and talking was funny XD
According to the behind the scenes documentary on the dvd, Carrey says that it was like being buried alive and that you could even hit him with a baseball bat and he'd be all "Good morning, nice to see you". I believe him 100%.
The man who can play ANY role
Happy to be blessed to see the work of this genius
The Grinch is one of the most underrated movies ever. The acting was seriously amazing. Scary, even.
I agree, my favourite movie 😆
Wow. Thank you Jim!!!!! We all love that movie, your performance is unforgettable!!!!!
I love how Jude looks at him
The makeup in that movie looks incredible. Totally worth it. It is a Christmas classic now because of his performance and the set/costume/makeup designs.
I feel like footage of Jims Grinch smoking, rocking back and forth, and punching himself, while the Bee Gees play in the background would have fit the character so well
"you know what got me through it? The BeeGees" I understand, Jim. I got through 2020 partly with the Talking Heads and blowing bubblegum bubbles.
I don't get the grinch hate. It's pretty good.
I love how Jude Law is hangin on his every word, im a huge Jim Carrey fan and i have a son who gets overwhelmed so i show him this video, and he really connects with Jim
Thank you Jim Carrey for going through that torture because nobody else could've played that character but you💗
Foi uns dos seus melhores trabalho o Grinch, sou fã dos seus trabalhos, seus posicionamentos e sua personalidade única. Você e Guilherme Briggs te dublando é perfeito!!
legend.
Thank you Jim Carrey your sacrifice is memorable in my mine and my nieces childhood forever😌 no one can replace you as the grinch☝🏽
the bee gees got me through Nam
Jim Carrey is a God's gift for us for bad days , Amazing Guy
Jim Carrey in the funniest actor Ever
Jim Carrey is an amazing comedian. Not only is his raw talent great, but add the fact that he's on the spectrum (and thus has a different way of thinking), and it suddenly makes a lot of sense why he's like a lit firecracker in almost any role he's in.
Truly love this man!!!! He is the greatest comedic actor of our time!!!!
Confirmed: Act like the Grinch to survive torture
Makes sense the CIA would train him for Grinch acting. Both tasks involve breaking into other peoples houses and out without notiice.
I absolutely love Jim Carrey. He is absolutely amazing. And he puts so much work into his movies and everything.
People don’t realize how much some actors actually go through, just to entertain us. Awesome(:
I really miss jim carrey and his magic he brings to all movies. No one else can ever play his parts. I wish he would come back and do one more movie again as movies aren’t the same anymore, no magic left in them… we need you Jim! Come back because we all want you back!
Amazing film. Amazing actor.
