Jim Carrey's new face

This article says it’s likely fillers and not radical cosmetic surgery: https://radaronline.com/p/jim-carrey-plastic-surgery-unrecognizable-new-face-explained/
Tragic. Why don't famous people realise how much better it looks to age naturally?
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.
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.
try to get cancer to look better. got it
Alternatively, break your foot. I lost 40 pounds.
unlike mcconnel you dont suck souls to stay a lich permanently.
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.
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.
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.
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

Looking like a 90s baddie in that vid.
It doesn't look bad IMO
It's a pity that he feels bad about it to the point to do fillers
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.
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?
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?!
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:
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
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
It’s weird I didn’t even consider AI.
Data compression?
For a guy whos schtick was the elastic face impressions, this seems like a not so wise move, but to each their own...
Thanks, I hate it. Someone tint his face green because it's very Mask like now.
Ssssssomebody stop him!
I'm not sure it's the real Jim Carrey!
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
Challenge him to an arm wrestling contest
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.
If only he'd stand up.
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.
https://ca.news.yahoo.com/jim-carreys-rep-c-sar-165750024.html
I genuinely wouldn't recognise him...
Still pretty gross imo. Like, why?
Jim Scary
looks a lot like old Val Kilmer
I don't see why he'd have anything done, he naturally looked pretty alright even for his age. Oh well, his choice.. 🤷
probably got advice from JENNY, who had a ton of work done.
They clearly killed him and replaced him
Next you are going to tell me there was never a cornucopia.
Is he trying to escape from the police?
That's more than filler, you can see his eyes are stretched up a bit. Most likely a face lift of some sort. Scar line could be somewhere above the hairline.
like the SON'A face stretching machines. rob machelenny had it too, it was like looking someone wearing a mask.
Renee Zellweger syndrome.
vaccines?: ewww
filler?: more please
don’t tell he is anti vaccines? :(
oh, he's an og, antivax before it got trendy
They got to him. Big Face Filler got to him! If they can get to Jim, what hope is there?!
He doesn't even look like Jim Carrey now. At no point in his life did he look like that.
Chat, is this real?
Nope
This is sad.
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.
Left: silver fox aging well
Right: Fox News pundit
I believe scientists call it "Mar A Lago face".
It's the eyes. He doesn't look like himself anymore. This was a mistake, if he did it to get more work. He looks like a generic background character.
Reminds me of Jennifer Grey, how she blew her entire career by getting a nose job after being cast as the love interest for Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing.
I thought he retired.
He doesn't look younger. But he no longer looks human. As long as he's happy I guess
kinda looks like the ghostbusters villian.
Bruce Carrey.
I get it, aging sucks, I'm staring down the barrel of 40, and that's just the beginning of the downward trajectory, but I will never philosophically agree with surgical or chemical intervention for aging.
It is vanity and insecurity masking as self expression.
What's wrong with vanity? Is this a seven deadly sin kind of thing? Psychologically, there isn't anything bad about being vain, it's a religious problem, ain't it?
No, it's a problem with modern society lacking any sense of morality, and morals are not about religion. It's a fundamental lack of character and humanity.
"What's wrong with vanity?" What a stupid question. Your ignorance shows your Americanized ignorance where "the self" has turned toxic.
The top response in this Reddit post goes over what is wrong with vanity: https://www.reddit.com/r/entj/comments/89qkc0/why_is_vanity_considered_a_bad_quality/.
My TLDR: You're excessively focused on your yourself, and the opinions and views of others are shallow. You only care about how you are precevied, and will do anything to continued to be precevied a certain way, by any means, leading to compromises.
Yeah, your post reads like it was written by the type of person who uses a Reddit post as their source of truth.
Assuming statements posted to reddit aren't accurate is a weird bias.
Thank you for displaying your vanity and ignorance.
Being correct doesn't give you the right to be an ass. That's just as bad as being vain is, at least.
There are times to be nice and there are times to be blunt. There is no time vanity is useful.
Just as being vain can be an excess of self-confidence, being rude can be an excess of being blunt. It would be good not to cross that threshold without a solid purpose. What I'm saying is: this was not a good time to be blunt.
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.
But the influence and trending data comes from America?
Still?
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.
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.
This is an actor who is most known for the elasticity of his face. 🤔
now its a porcelain mask.
I’m not going to disparage anyone for body dysmorphia, that stuff hurts.
Yeah, these people need help. They get preyed on every day by hollywood.
If I were to judge him solely on his looks and nothing else I know about him, the before is way better looking. His unique smile and deceptively kind eyes are way more attractive than...whatever that is he did.
Botox is a fucking epidemic, I have 30yo friends using it and destroying their face even before getting old.
it also permanently/indefinitely atrophies the muscles it paralyzes too.
I have a love hate relationship with getting older. I wish I could look like my prime but there is kinda a niceness with the sorta deep rich look of age. Overall I don't get these cosmetic things because they are just that. cosmetic. Would be great to have something to actually make me more capable.
Yeah there's definitely a certain facial quality you can only get with natural aging that can look quite good on its own. Not that anyone should feel the need to look good or alter their appearance unless they desire to, but that they should not be afraid of looking old.
Remember when we were struggling through COVID and they sung imagination to us? Maybe we should sing a song for them to help them?
Now, if Jim ever needs a stunt double, he can hire Steve Paikin, former host of the news discussion show "The Agenda" in Ontario, Canada.
This is how I picture Greg Guevara looking in 20-25 years.
....ugh, whose mom is this??
It's not the worst I've seen, but he looked better before. but it's his choice and if it makes him happy, than nothing else should matter.
Honestly if it wasn't for the elevated cheeks it would have been a good.
That just looks like a facelift. Like damn near all actors get. Why do people compare younger pictures with older 'done' pics instead of old before and old after? Some ladies here at my work had eye lifts that came out great - they both look better - but if you compared their look now to when they were 45 of course they won't look as good.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't IMO.
"Make me look like Pixar Bill Maher."
"Fuckin'... Ok, if that's what you want Mr. Carrey..."
Awwwwwwwww. Rats.
That's Jim Reynolds, or Ryan Carrey if you prefer.
I absolutely wouldn't put it past Jim Carrey to get a lookalike to attend that award show.
There's something off about him.
Boy, do I have some news for you!
People Think the Jim Carrey That Attended the César Awards Is a Fake
And this juxtaposition is amusing:
If it’s filler then it’ll fade over time.
I think he got a blepharoplasty too, his eyelids are entirely different.
It’s a weird world of vanity when celebrities try to downplay which cosmetic procedures they have had done.
All of it is a personal choice, and self-perpetuating part of America’s culture of basing your entire value around looking young. They all seem to want to pretend that they are that one person who looks this way naturally, presumably in the hope that others don’t join in and look “younger” too
So this wasn't that Alexis Stone impersonator person???
I haven't seen Jim Carrey since he was rocking his full beard. I had assumed he was gonna keep that up.
Oh no
Gross.
Gross
Yeah I don’t really care what Jim Carey’s face looks like. Especially given everything else currently going on of actual consequence.
Yes, but this is mildlyinteresting, not actuallyconsequential.
same here, alot of it came as slop now. nutrek, isaip, rob made that cringey mythic quest show. 2000s-2015ish is the golden age of shows.
