Inside the Life: The Comedy Legend, His Daughter, and the Journey Few Have Seen

While Jim Carrey’s filmography includes some of the most beloved comedies of all time, not every role has brought him joy. He famously expressed regret over his part in Kick-Ass 2, citing discomfort with the film’s violence after the Sandy Hook tragedy.

“I did Kick-Ass 2 a month before Sandy Hook, and now, in good conscience, I can’t support that level of violence,” he tweeted in 2013.

In recent years, Carrey has stepped away from acting, choosing instead to focus on painting and writing. He has spoken openly about battling depression and seeking peace outside of fame.

“I have enough. I’ve done enough. I am enough,” he said in 2022, announcing a pause from Hollywood.

His massive Los Angeles estate — a home he owned for more than 30 years — was put on the market in 2024, signaling a new chapter of quiet reflection.
