This article says it’s likely fillers and not radical cosmetic surgery: https://radaronline.com/p/jim-carrey-plastic-surgery-unrecognizable-new-face-explained/
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
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 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.
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 ;)
You're right. It's absolutely been breathed on by AI. You can see it in the hair, it looks perfect / unnatural.
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
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.

Still pretty gross imo. Like, why?
looks a lot like old Val Kilmer
Jim Scary
They got to him. Big Face Filler got to him! If they can get to Jim, what hope is there?!
For a guy whos schtick was the elastic face impressions, this seems like a not so wise move, but to each their own...
This is sad.
vaccines?: ewww
filler?: more please
don’t tell he is anti vaccines? :(
oh, he's an og, antivax before it got trendy
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.
I’m not going to disparage anyone for body dysmorphia, that stuff hurts.
Remember when we were struggling through COVID and they sung imagination to us? Maybe we should sing a song for them to help them?
Chat, is this real?
I don't see why he'd have anything done, he naturally looked pretty alright even for his age. Oh well, his choice.. 🤷
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.
Agreed. It’s ridiculous that celebrities are simultaneously worshipped and loathed, as if we know them. We don’t fucking know them! This gossipy crap needs to stop.
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.
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.
Thanks, I hate it. Someone tint his face green because it's very Mask like now.
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.
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.
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.
If that's the same person, they had shit ton of dental work done, because the angles are different
got advice from jenny McCarthy.
Honestly if it wasn't for the elevated cheeks it would have been a good.
Left: silver fox aging well
Right: Fox News pundit
I believe scientists call it "Mar A Lago face".
This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.
