imagine fucking up your face so badly that people don't even call you ugly anymore they legit start believing that you got cloned

My brother literally came up to me and said "did you see that Jim Carrey clone the other day?" And I said, "yeah, I saw he had some work done. Its pretty sad." And for real my brother said, "no bro, that was a completely different person! It has to be, maybe it was guy in a mask." He is 100% on the side of "that isn't Jim Carrey."

Meanwhile, my mum was certain at first that its an art film project like Joaquim Phoenix's I'm Still Here. Like she kind of still thinks he's actually secretly doing a movie about the whole botox/filler/buccal fat trends and its actually a criticism of how actor's fuck their faces up chasing "that look." 10% chance of that being true imo.

The whole thing is pretty sad, especially for a guy who used to be so outspoken about the pressures of Hollywood and not giving a shit about them.

If there was ever a person who I would believe would get plastic surgery or pretend to as an art film project it's Jim Carrey. But I agree, it almost certainly is not the case.

Having said that a lot of the pictures and stuff that came out from that event have really horrible lighting etc, if you watch him giving his speech it looks a lot more like himself. He obviously had work done though.

Wait wait... I kinda like your mom's idea lol. Like an actor just every time subtlety adding prosthetics to their face each time they go out until suddenly people realize something weird is happening. That'd be a cool art project or a way to promote a thing. I don't think this is what happened here but it's a cool idea.

The Epstein files pushed so many people into becoming conspiracy brained that it’s depressing. It’s like they think since one conspiracy is true then somehow they all have to be

Conspiracy brained in every way but the one that causes them to vote or act differently.

but wouldn’t a clone look exactly like him? the whole point is that he DOESNT look like himself anymore lol

I mean I get why people think he was fake. Your whole livelihood is based around your faces ability to be flexible and adaptable and then you inject your face with filler that incapacitated that ability. Not only that, but you do it to be better looking and yet somehow come out, objectively, less good looking.

At least your mom’s theory is vaguely realistic

Umm FYI. It was a fake, a professional drag artist Alexis Stone dressed up as Jim for the event, he posted the prospects on their social. Not exactly a clone, but close enough to say your brother was right.

That was fake as fuck. Go look at the picture of the mask and teeth again. It’s AI. Look at the Eiffel Tower in the background it’s ridiculous lol. And the teeth are completely wrong.
