Hollywood legend Jim Carrey has hinted that he may retire soon, saying, “I have to get out of here before I snap.” He received criticism for declining to endorse because of its violent nature in the wake of the Sandy Hook tragedy.
Carrey, who has a net worth of $180 million, started turning down projects and spent his time traveling the world in search of meaning. Well-known for hits like “The Mask,” he thought about doing a follow-up but insisted on choosing the appropriate filmmaker. Fans were let down by “Dumb and Dumber To”‘s 2014 release.
During the height of his fame, Carrey struggled with acute depression and sparked a debate over vaccines. His artistic direction changed, and he wrote the children’s book “How Roland Rolls” before going back to acting in films like “Kidding” and “Sonic the Hedgehog.”
Attention was drawn to Carrey’s recent criticism of Will Smith’s Oscars episode. He acknowledged his declining love for acting despite his success, blaming his successful profession for his withdrawal from the public eye.
