Alongside his acting success, Carrey has had to navigate the challenges that come with fame.
Especially in the ’90s, Carrey was one of the most recognizable figures in the celebrity world. His immensely successful film roles earned him a devoted fanbase.
Initially, Carrey appeared to seek out the public’s attention.
But in recent years, he’s become a lot more private and less keen on holding his spot in the public eye. In fact, he’s often quite critical of society’s obsession with fame.
Carrey has frequently enjoyed playing pranks on the paparazzi.
Here he is in 2008, sporting then-girlfriend Jenny McCarthy’s bathing suit—possibly making a statement about how women are portrayed by the media, or maybe just aiming for a good laugh.
