This article says it’s likely fillers and not radical cosmetic surgery: https://radaronline.com/p/jim-carrey-plastic-surgery-unrecognizable-new-face-explained/

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.

Renee Zellweger syndrome.

I don't see why he'd have anything done, he naturally looked pretty alright even for his age. Oh well, his choice.. 🤷

Thanks, I hate it. Someone tint his face green because it's very Mask like now.

They clearly killed him and replaced him

He doesn't look younger. But he no longer looks human. As long as he's happy I guess

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.

Tragic. Why don't famous people realise how much better it looks to age naturally?

Yeah I don’t really care what Jim Carey’s face looks like. Especially given everything else currently going on of actual consequence.

Next you are going to tell me there was never a cornucopia.

That's Jim Reynolds, or Ryan Carrey if you prefer.

Yes, but this is mildlyinteresting, not actuallyconsequential.

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.

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.

He doesn't even look like Jim Carrey now. At no point in his life did he look like that.

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.

Awwwwwwwww. Rats.

Ssssssomebody stop him!

I'm not sure it's the real Jim Carrey!

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.

Botox is a fucking epidemic, I have 30yo friends using it and destroying their face even before getting old.

A doppelganger, if you will!

It is happening again

If it’s filler then it’ll fade over time.

And this juxtaposition is amusing:

(apologies, imgur's swamped, but I hope imgbb is ok?)

This is an actor who is most known for the elasticity of his face. 🤔

Here's one from last year:

vaccines?: ewww

filler?: more please

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.

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 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

Gross

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.

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.

I’m not going to disparage anyone for body dysmorphia, that stuff hurts.

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.

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.

Gross.

don’t tell he is anti vaccines? :(

Challenge him to an arm wrestling contest

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?!

oh, he's an og, antivax before it got trendy

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.

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.

You're right. It's absolutely been breathed on by AI. You can see it in the hair, it looks perfect / unnatural.

"Make me look like Pixar Bill Maher."

"Fuckin'... Ok, if that's what you want Mr. Carrey..."

Found a recent picture of him and he is indeed unrecognizable:

It’s weird I didn’t even consider AI.

I absolutely wouldn't put it past Jim Carrey to get a lookalike to attend that award show.

There's something off about him.
