"Jim Carrey's visit has been planned since this summer. From the outset, he was extremely touched by the Academy's invitation. Eight months of ongoing, constructive discussions. He worked on his speech in French for months, asking me about the exact pronunciation of certain words."
"As an actor, each character you play is like clay in the sculptor's hands, which you shape to your heart's desire. How fortunate I have been to share this art with so many people who have truly opened their hearts to me."
"For me, it's a nonissue. I just remember his generosity, his kindness, his benevolence, his elegance."
Jim Carrey received an honorary César Award at the French Academy Awards ceremony on February 26. Following the event, speculation emerged about whether the person onstage was actually Carrey, prompting César Awards general delegate Gregory Caulier to confirm his attendance. Caulier revealed the visit was planned since summer, with Carrey spending months preparing his French-language speech. The impersonation rumors stemmed from Carrey's public reclusiveness and limited recent appearances. A drag artist named Alexis Stone fueled confusion by posting prosthetic makeup photos claiming to be Carrey at the awards, which deceived many social media users including celebrity Megan Fox.
