Comedian Jim Breuer is so convinced that the man who appeared at the César Awards in Paris was not the real Jim Carrey that he says he is willing to stake everything he owns on it.
During a live broadcast from his tour bus, Breuer brought up the footage of Carrey accepting an honorary award at the French ceremony and wasted no time sharing his verdict. The appearance has already sparked online speculations, with some pushing a ‘clone theory‘ about Carrey since his attendance at the event.
“I’m going to put all my assets on it,” Breuer told his audience. “All my assets. Housing, my pension that I created. All my assets. That was not Jim Carrey.”
His opener, comedian Brian McKenna, agreed without hesitation. “It’s a clone,” McKenna said.
McKenna pointed to several details he found difficult to explain. The most striking, he said, was the absence of eyelashes on the man in the footage.
“Whoever that was has no eyelashes,” Breuer said. “Eyelashes is a weird one to have them and then all of a sudden not have them.”
McKenna also flagged a handedness issue. Carrey is widely believed to be left-handed, yet the man at the ceremony was reportedly signing autographs with his right hand. “He’s a lefty,” McKenna said. “Whoever it was was signing with his right hand. I’m a righty and I can’t sign with my left hand. So how is this person doing it?”
Breuer agreed, saying: “It’s beyond impossible.”
McKenna acknowledged the Kyle-sent clip showing a makeup artist who claimed to have created a lifelike Carrey mask, though he admitted uncertainty about its authenticity.
“I don’t know what’s true and what’s false on the internet,” he said, but added that the overall picture still did not add up to the real Carrey standing on that stage.
What struck Breuer and McKenna most was that Carrey is one of the most recognizable faces in the world, making any impersonation all the more conspicuous.
“Anyone that knows Jim Carrey goes, that’s weird,” Breuer said.
McKenna agreed, saying: “He’s one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood. You go, that looks really odd.”
Breuer directed viewers to research videos from Isaac Kappy, a figure who made a series of online claims before his 2019 passing, noting that Kappy mentioned Carrey by name.
“There’s one where he brings up Jim Carrey,” Breuer said. “I saw it in like 2020 and I had to watch it over and over. I’m like, what did he just say?”
Breuer closed the topic with a thought about public figures and the moments when reality may not match the image presented. “I think we’re slowly about to get dripped of finding out who did what,” he said.
Carrey’s publicist and a representative for the César Awards have both confirmed that the actor personally attended the ceremony.
