The beloved actor, Jim carrey, famous for his roles in some of the most memorable comedies from the ’90s and ’00s, celebrated his 62nd birthday on Wednesday, January 17. Despite the Canadian-American star maintaining a private event, successfully keeping it under the radar by abstaining from social media, a glimpse of the celebration was shared by some of his celebrity acquaintances.

Stand-up comedian and actor David Spade, who was among the attendees, utilized his Instagram account to post an image of the birthday gathering arranged for the actor, and it’s safe to say it was a gathering of legends. The snapshot captured Jim, David, and Adam Sandler in casual attire. The Ace Ventura actor showcased a notable alteration in his appearance, flaunting shoulder-length hair along with his trademark thousand-watt smile.

Alongside the photo, David conveyed birthday wishes to Jim, acknowledging the laughter the latter had brought both on and off the screen. “Happy birthday to Jim Carrey who has made me laugh on and off the field so many times,” David wrote, expressing admiration for the actor’s cool demeanor. He added, “Such a cool dude. I rarely bust out the cake emoji, but I will today [cake emoji].”

Numerous fans were taken aback by Jim’s new appearance. Some even drew parallels with Heather Shaw, a comedian who gained viral fame for her uncanny resemblance to the actor. Comments flooded in, with remarks such as: “That’s the Jim Carrey lady from TikTok,” and: “Are you messing with us!? I can’t tell if that’s Jim or the woman that looks like Jim.” They also expressed their amazement, leaving comments such as: “WOW, that’s a room overflowing with talent,” and: “Wish I could have been a fly on the wall.”

Moreover, actor Jeff Ross disclosed that he was the one who captured the photo. On his personal Instagram account, the 58-year-old shared a more expansive view of the gathering, featuring an impressive lineup of humorists. Alongside Jim, David, Adam, and Jeff, notable figures such as Cary Elwes, Ben Schwartz, Howie Mandel, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Green, Craig Robinson, and others were in attendance.

Captioning the carousel, Ross declared, “The Laugh Supper! Happy birthday Jim Carrey! We love you!” In the initial photo, the group was captured making funny expressions and sharing laughter while gathered around a dinner table with Carrey at the center, exuberantly expressing himself. The second photo portrayed the Sonic The Hedgehog actor posing alongside a bagpipes player.

The actor’s most recent public appearance occurred at the premiere of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 in Los Angeles in April 2022. Shortly thereafter, he broached the idea of retiring from acting altogether. During an interview, the star of The Truman Show had revealed, “Well, I’m retiring. Yeah, probably. I’m being fairly serious.”

Additionnally, Carrey explained that his decision hinged on the possibility of receiving a script of extraordinary significance. He stated, “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.”

Elaborating on his decision, he added, “I really like my quiet life and I really like putting paint on canvas, and I really love my spiritual life. I feel like — and this is something you might never hear another celebrity say as long as time exists — I have enough. I’ve done enough. I am enough.”
