Los Angeles' very own comedic genius, Jim Carrey, took to the stage at the prestigious César Awards in France, leaving the audience both teary-eyed and entertained. On Thursday, February 26, Carrey was honored with a lifetime achievement award, recognizing his top-notch performances that have graced our screens for decades.
Stepping onto the European stage, Carrey wasn't alone. Accompanying him were his daughter, Jane, her teenage son Jackson, and the woman who's captured his heart, Min Ah. The three cheered him on as he delivered a speech filled with gratitude and warmth.
In a heartfelt moment, Jim paused to acknowledge the loved ones who've supported him on his journey. "Thank you to my wonderful family, my daughter Jane, and my grandson Jackson. I love you now and forever," he began, a statement that resonated through the venue.
“Thank you to my sublime companion, Min Ah," Carrey continued in fluent French, "I love you, Min Ah. And finally, thank you to the funniest man I have ever known: my father, Percy Joseph Carrey, who taught me the value of love, generosity, and laughter.”
The warmth of his words left no doubt about the importance of Min Ah and his family in Carrey's life.
While the beginnings of Carrey and Min Ah's relationship remain a bit of a Hollywood mystery, the duo's presence at the awards was telling of their bond. Fans have caught glimpses of their romance, including when they were spotted together in February 2022 at a charity comedy show hosted by Judd Apatow at Largo in L.A.
Jim's personal life has seen its fair share of Hollywood storylines. He shares his daughter Jane with ex-wife Melissa Womer, with whom he was married from 1987 to 1995. Notably, Carrey also had a brief marriage with his Dumb and Dumber co-star, Lauren Holly, from 1996 to 1997.
Through it all, Carrey's charisma and heart continue to shine brightly both on and off the stage, and his heartfelt words at the César Awards are a testament to that.
