Jim Carrey: Christmas Carol
built 140 days ago
According to his family, Jim Carrey was an extrovert at a very early age. As a small child, he would perform for anyone who would pay attention, and even sent in his resume to Carol Burnett when he was ten!

A few years ago, Jim Carrey suited up in green to try to steal Christmas. Now he might be suiting up in red and white to save Scrooge’s soul. After all, Santa Claus is in Dickens’ Christmas Carol, right? Right? In a quick shot with MTV a young actress let slip that Carrey would be playing Santa.

[One] showcase for Carrey's demented antics and the Farrellys' gross-out humour, it was another big success. Tellingly, though reviews were not great, takings actually improved in its second week. Word-of-mouth had struck again. Jim moved on to Ron Howard's How The Grinch Stole Christmas, playing the misanthropic beast that attempts to ruin festivities in Whoville. His costume and prosthetic makeup was so uncomfortable he received torture resistance advice from a Navy SEAL, but it was all worthwhile. Jim was Golden Globe-nominated for the fifth time and the movie made $260 million at the US box office, selling more tickets than any other movie of 2000.

Carrey will play Scrooge. He will ... play the Ghost of Christmas Past. He will also play the Ghost of Christmas Present. And, you guessed it, he will also play the Ghost of Christmas Future.
