The announced retirement of Jim Carrey
Jim Carrey, known for his iconic roles worldwide, recently announced that he is seriously considering retirement from acting. In an interview promoting Sonic the Hedgehog 2, he stated, “I have enough. I’ve done enough. I have enough.”
The topic of retirement came up after Dolly Parton expressed a desire for him to play her former music partner, Porter Wagoner, but Carrey, though flattered, confirmed his intention to step back from acting. He emphasized that he’s serious about this decision but joked that he might reconsider if presented with an extraordinary script.
Carrey mentioned that he enjoys a quieter life away from Hollywood, spending his time painting and reflecting on his career. He also shared memories of his late friend Bob Saget, attending his memorial and commenting on the upcoming Netflix documentary about Saget, which he found a bit odd.
While Carrey’s potential retirement is bittersweet for fans, they can still enjoy his past work, and many hope he finds a role he can’t refuse in the future.
