Jim Carrey in the 90s was a force.

I remember knowing when his appearances on late-night talk shows would be and my mom would let me stay up to watch.

He became a superstar with his comic persona and physical comedy, made millions, and could’ve stuck with that the rest of his career, but instead kept pushing himself and is equally talented in more dramatic roles, even starring in great films like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Truman Show.

But there were concerns about whether Jim would take responsibility as a father. At the height of his career, everyone wanted a piece of the genius comedian but the A-lister didn’t shy away from his fatherly duties.

While balancing his own career, Jim made everything in his power to make sure Jane would have every possibility to strive for her dreams. And believe it or not, Jim actually learned something from his own father that he has passed on to his daughter.

“I learned many great lessons from my father, not the least of which was that you could fail at what you don’t love, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love,” Carrey said and continued:

“I’ve often said that I wish people could realize all their dreams and wealth and fame, so that they could see that it’s not where they’re gonna find their sense of completion.”
