Here's Jim Carrey and his rubber face in L.A. yesterday, where he is filming Yes Man with Bones actress Zooey Deschanel.
In the memoir-based film, Jim plays a guy who accidentally jinxes himself to one year of saying 'yes' to everything, thereby summoning hilarity and catastrophe... Kind of like that guy from Liar Lair, who got stuck telling the truth for one day because a little boy made a birthday wish that his daddy would stop lying.
Hollywood, it's all original ideas here.
But actually. In real life, there are two people who Jim can't say no to - Jenny McCarthy and her autistic son Evan.
The comedy actor says that spending time with Evan - who refused to talk or make eye contact - challenged him to have patience and not be so freaking self-absorbed.
'I'm a guy who's used to getting people's attention when I want it, and I'm pretty good with kids, so it was a little bit difficult and hard not to take it personally,' Jim told Oprah last week. He later added, 'Evan taught me how to love. And without Evan I might never have seen the greatness of Jenny's spirit.'
Awww. Is it just me or did Jim Carrey actually get serious about something?
