Ever wish a celebrity would put their fist right through the glossy, plasticine sheen of Hollywood award shows and offhandedly unveil their complete and utter contempt for the saccharine talking heads asking who made their dinner jacket?
Your wish has been granted in the form of actor Jim Carrey, who at least proves these sorts of events can still be entertaining to watch.

“There’s no meaning to any of this,” he says pointedly to E! host Catt Saddler during a Harper’s Bazaar fashion week party ostensibly celebrating “Icons.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Saddler tries to reel Carrey back into her tangled web of boilerplate red carpet queries, which only inspires him to slime her with a bit of off-the-cuff nihilism:
“I believe we’re a field of energy dancing for itself. And, uh… I don’t care. I don’t believe you exist. But there is a wonderful fragrance in the air … It’s not our world. We don’t matter. There’s the good news.”
As far as making these sort of events worthwhile again, it’s certainly a step in the right direction.

I think he is just p!ssed because he is all washed up. Bitter much!

He’s a brilliant painter, sculpture. He has been used an abused and sees the crap of tinsel in tinsel town. Great Depression when last relationship ended. Shortly thereafter she died. He decided for this time being art was his artistry. So if he sees the bulls*** in Hollywood is to entertain with meaningless banter for cameras and shallow questions give him a break. He’s decided to observe, not act, paint, not play the A list game. He has dropped out of playing for people who do not really care. Red Carpets be damned. He was forced to walk it to get in. Entrapment.
Crazy like a fox. Let the man alone. Jack you are whacked! He doesn’t care about anything. He has done it all and doesn’t owe anyone anything. So grow up. Maybe you are projecting a bitter life in your mother’s basement at 45?
Who cares about red carpet crap! Warning loose cannon. He doesn’t owe you shit!

If he didn’t care, he wouldn’t be there. It was night. He should have worn sunglasses.

“Crazed”, huh? Actually, everything he says is perfectly sensible, and he gets full marks for skewering the pomposity and pretentiousness of the evening. Actors are frequently obliged to attend such events because of projects they’re working on, or they consent for charitable reasons, and it’s those that don’t go along with all the shallow idolatry along the way that I admire.

more like a bad robin williams imitation

How long has pot been legal there now?? I would respect him more if he didnt dye his hair, as he has totally bought into what he is trying to distance himself from..
With that face work, now he can do the wayne newton story!!…. although he might be too tall. I guess they can always elevate camera and tilt down. In Hollywood, anything is possible. For even that country pumpkin.

Maybe he’s giving us a preview of The Truman Show sequel.

Another TV show?
