What is he doing now?

With his larger-than-life persona, Jim Carrey has left a noticeable void in Hollywood after retreating from the spotlight. The iconic star made headlines in 2022 when he announced he was stepping away from Hollywood and acting.

”I have enough. I’ve done enough. I am enough,” he said.

Since then, Carrey has kept a low profile, dedicating himself to painting and creating meaningful pieces. It’s well known that the actor has struggled with depression and has been on medication for years to manage the symptoms. Whether we’ll ever see him on the big screen again remains uncertain.

When he announced his shocking decision to step away from acting, Carrey was asked if he could consider a comeback in a few years. He responded, “It depends. If the angels bring some sort of script that’s written in gold ink that says to me that it’s going to be really important for people to see, I might continue down the road, but I’m taking a break.”

Last year, Carrey reportedly listed his expansive Los Angeles mansion, which he had called home for more than 30 years, with an impressive price tag of almost $29 million.

As Jim Carrey has been appearing less and less in public, it has led to growing speculation about his well-being. According to Radar Online, those close to him are worried about how he’s really doing. The last time he was seen publicly was on his 62nd birthday in January 2024, where photographers captured a Jim Carrey who looked a little different than usual.

”It’s a big worry for the many folks who care about Jim, who’s had some seriously rough moments these past few years,” an insider revealed, adding that Carrey “tends to self-isolate and lock himself away.”
