Jim Carrey, the beloved actor known for his iconic roles in films like Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and The Truman Show, has made a shocking admission about his decision to come out of retirement. In a recent interview, Carrey revealed that he returned to acting because he “needs the money.”
Just a couple of years ago, Carrey announced his retirement from acting, citing a desire to focus on his personal life and pursue other passions. At the time, he joked that he would only return to acting if a script was delivered to him by angels and written in gold ink.
However, it seems that Carrey’s retirement plans were short-lived. Earlier this year, it was announced that he would be reprising his role as Dr. Robotnik in Sonic the Hedgehog 3. When asked about his decision to return to acting, Carrey admitted that his previous statements about retirement might have been exaggerated.
In a refreshingly honest interview, Carrey joked that he came back to the Sonic franchise because he gets to play a genius, which is “a bit of a stretch.” But in a more serious tone, he added that he needs the money, having accumulated significant expenses over the years.
Carrey’s admission has sparked a mix of reactions from fans and critics alike. While some have praised his honesty, others have expressed disappointment that he didn’t stick to his retirement plans.
Regardless of the reasons behind his decision, Carrey’s return to acting is undoubtedly exciting news for fans of the Sonic franchise. With the release of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 just around the corner, audiences can look forward to seeing Carrey reprise his role as the eccentric and villainous Dr. Robotnik.
