This is 64-year-old Jim Carrey - but what happened to his face 0 49

64-year-old Jim Carrey is not a frequent guest at social events, so each of his public appearances always attracts attention. The red carpet of the 51st César Awards was no exception. That evening, the legendary actor received an honorary award. Carrey took to the stage in an elegant outfit, delivered a beautiful speech, but neither his appearance nor his achievements were discussed as much as his changed face.

Debates immediately flared up online: what happened to the star — is it the result of plastic surgery or excessive use of Botox? Where did his usual facial expressions go, and what led to the swelling? Conspiracy theories even emerged suggesting that it was not Carrey himself, but his double: claiming that his eye color and face shape were different.

"This person is trying so hard to be Jim, but he’s failing miserably"; "His eyes are a different color"; "Who is this person?", "Someone loves Botox injections too much", "I can’t believe my eyes! Is this really Jim Carrey?! That doctor who did this to him should be banned from ever treating patients again," commenters heatedly expressed.

Looking at the star's photos, it’s hard to determine what exactly caused such a transformation. So all conclusions are based solely on assumptions. To determine the exact cause, one would need to see the patient in person and know his history.

Plastic surgeon Madina Osman, looking at the actor's photos, concludes that he might have undergone surgery not long ago.

"Like it or not, in Hollywood, the right to age naturally must be earned. Only a few can afford such luxury. And although Jim Carrey is a star, personal motives have prompted him to change his appearance. All this fuss arose because we are used to seeing him with rich facial expressions. And now he appears in public with limited facial expressions; he has a mask-like face. I can assume that we are witnessing an early recovery period after plastic surgery," the doctor says.
