As reported in Page Six, in a recent interview with Time, Jim Carrey admits that his career is on the outs, while also claiming that Tom Cruise was "the big joke" of last year.
Jim Carrey isn't a $20 million-a-movie man anymore. "I don't want to pick scripts just to keep me in the status-phere. You have to take the plunge to expose your true self," the rubber-faced funnyman tells Time. After several comedy duds, Carrey has turned to horror with "The Number 23," a low-budget shocker about a man consumed with numerology. He also admits his reputation may be taking a dive: "Everyone gets to be the big joke for a year. That's this business. Last year it was Tom Cruise.
Jim, you went to the guy's wedding last year, so you can't go around calling him "the big joke" of 2006, even if it's the truth. That means that you thought he was a big joke even while watching him take his vows. See how that might come off badly? You're gonna pay for this one. Don't you know he's Jesus of the aliens?

I actually prefer Jim Carrey as a dramatic actor. Let Will Farrell and Adam Sandler have all the shitty scripts and bottom-feeder laughs. I want to see more Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Jim.
I agree, I love him in more grown up roles. I loved the Andy Kaufman story. I hate the toilet humor he usually does. So, I'm lookin' foreward to seeing this new one.
Perhaps Tom should grow out his hair so that he can become nonchalant about the whole thing, like Jim did.
Actually hate to disagree but if you read the whole article Jim is saying..to everyone last year Tom Cruise was the joke, like Mel Gibson was..you know whoever the big scandal is, they are a joke…I dont think he meant it as a personal opinion on Tom..although who would blame him really…
Dammit, Peggy! That boy ain't right!
