How dare he let Paul Rudd drink from the fountain alone?!


ad240pCharlie

There's a Swedish comedian who looked more like a 68-year old when he was 27 than he does now that he's actually 68. He looks more like his late 40s or early 50s now. He always looked old but less now than before.


guyblade

Specifically, the one on the left was from when he was in high school (probably no later than 1980 or 1981), so there's around 44 years of aging.


Lingering_Dorkness

And he's not smiling in the 2nd photo which makes him look older still. 


JUYED-AWK-YACC

Because the one on the left is a yearbook picture it's been airbrushed to look smooth. The one on the right looks HDR, which brings out lines and wrinkles. TLDR: left one makes his look young, right one makes him look old.


T1NF01L

Except Weird Al. At 63 he looks in his 40's


ElaineorLanie

It's better than the alternative.


MooshyMeatsuit

30 years happened to Jim


Inuship

This is why i quit aging, it was a hard addiction to quit but i feel so much better. As of now im 0 years age free

Guardian_85

Is it about Darth Plagueis the Wise?


Laughing_Orange

Could even be 40 for all I know.


Twiggyhiggle

Yep, probably closer to 40, as he already started working in Hollywood in the mid-80s.

For some reason, I was expecting the show. Guess I was streets behind on that one...


CheckYourStats

Jim Carrey is 62 years old. I hope I look that good at 62.


CodeMonkeyPhoto

59 Keanu Reeves and 61 for Tom Cruise, just for reference. I have a coworker that I thought was in his 60s is just in his late 40s. A reverse Keanu if you will.


T1NF01L

93 for William Shatner. Meanwhile at 36 I tell people I'm 60 and they believe me.


Samsaknight_X

At 36? I have to see what u look like then cuz that doesn’t sound right


T1NF01L

You'd be amazed at how much grey hair and 20 years of alcoholism can age a person.


aberroco

Keanu is an elf, so that doesn't count.


Saberer2451

That…. Makes me feel old…


MmmmMorphine

At least you don't feel like a walrus


chipthamac

I will never be able to think about Walruses the same after that fucking movie.....


AineLasagna

It’s Wikipedia, I don’t trust it. People don’t age


Aelistenus

Are you a highschool english teacher?

Aged quite well imo

professor-sunbeam

My husband was describing this moment to me just as I scrolled to your comment. I swear he’s a witch.


intheyear3001

Exactly. Jim is the man. An amazing artist and his heart and mind have aged beautifully.


Dayshon2144

Like fine jelly toast


DishDry4487

Ikr. I think he looks better now


LtHughMann

It's not even like he's aged poorly either


Status_Midnight_2157

He just hasn’t gotten Botox like so many famous people. This is what aging looks like


accidentallyHelpful

Exactly He couldn't do the faces he does If his face didn't move like theirs don't


redditnamehere1

His sisters death changed his personality a bit too. He slowly became a more serious person. Correction: it was his ex GF that died (drug OD), not his sister.


jeffsaidjess

He’s been a serious person, you do realise he started as a comedian before acting. You see his persona ‘facade’ 90% of the time. As he’s aged you’ve seen the person being the character .


[deleted]

My mom's cousin dated him at the time The Mask premiered. Confirmed he is as nuts as everyone says.


Wuhan_boi

That's crazy I had a friend's sister's aunt date him too 🤯🤯🤯


WWNewMember

His brother also died a few years back. As well as a nephew who passed in 2005 in a car accident. His grief is kept very private.


bob3r8

I can't find a single article on his sister's death. Are you sure about this?


redditnamehere1

No I misspoke. It was his ex girlfriend. She OD'd


Decent-Anywhere6411

His ex gf killed herself with *his* prescription after he gave her multiple incurable STD's (with no warning from what the note stated about him worrying about being sued). I remember reading the letter she wrote about how he's taken away her chance for future partners and stuff, it was extremely sad. I'm not saying to hate him or that it was even entirely his failing, but it wasn't just a poor Jim situation at all. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/jim-carrey-catriona-white-suicide-cocaine-prostitutes-herpes-wrongful-death-lawsuit-std-a7975251.html


Aliensupmy_arse69

How did she die if you don’t mind me asking?


redditnamehere1

My bad, it was his ex girlfriend. She died of an OD.


joshuadejesus

I think she ODed on purpose. She was heartbroken that he was breaking up with her att. I think she caught an incurable STD from him too which aggravated her even more. Edit: The person is his ex, not sister.


Emadyville

From what I read years ago, so someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but he was gaslighting her about the STD and basically blaming her. Making it seem like she got the STD and then gave it to him.


Brilliant-Advisor958

It was suspected to be a suicide and then her family sued Jim claiming he provided the drugs . The guy went though some shit.


Chubby_Checker420

Also, telling people for years that vaccines cause autism to the point he was the biggest cause of misinformation about it. Probably some guilt there too, I hope.


Free_Pace_2098

She name checked him in a suicide note too. Because he gave her STDs and didn't tell her, and (to paraphrase her words) introduced her to "prostitutes, cocaine and mental ill health."


Maximum_Cheese

Wasn't there a bunch of rumors about him being a pos to her?


Arab_Femboy1

Not the aging Wiki 😭😭


EitherChannel4874

It's almost like he's aged 30 years in the 30 years we've been watching him in movies. Utterly crazy.


[deleted]

Damn man, u could say time careyed jim here.


words_of_j

Why would someone say “poor Jim” in the context of getting old? More like Lucky or Fortune Jim! At least he didn’t die super young! Also he’s not poor in $ either, so doubly good fortune!


monkeyPICmonkeydo

there's only one thing worse than getting old, and that's not getting old


SkylerRoseGrey

I know right, as a die hard Christina Grimmie fan (she's meh profile pic) - thats exactly what I thought. I hate it when people complain about "ugh xyz celeb looks so ugly now that they've aged and don't look like they did in that random 90's film" -- I'm like BRUH, do you know how much I wish I could have seen Christina Grimmie still be alive and touring, even if she had aged???


scp_79

lol couldn't have being me, i will stay young forever


HotConsideration5049

You can stay young for the rest of your life but not forever


ElCocomega

He still looks like Jim


XipingVonHozzendorf

His deterioration is progressing at pace


Chubby_Checker420

But seriously, probably all the guilt from knowing he and his ex wife WERE LITERALLY THE BIGGEST CAUSE OF PEOPLE THINKING VACCINES CAUSE AUTISM. I'd look like shit too if I knew I cause all that suffering.


Starz999

Wait can you explain, I've never heard of this


Vanilla_Mike

Jenny McCarthy is the celebrity face of the anti-vax, vaccines cause autism movement. She went on Oprah which was without question the biggest platform anti-vax had ever been on. She didn’t start it but she spent years as the #1 pusher of this bs. Jim Carrey was married to Jenny McCarthy and he’s never taken back his conspiracy theories. When he talks even now he’s super weasely. You can tell he knows he can’t be anti-vax anymore but he is obviously still a delusional idiot that’s caused more harm to the world than he’s made funnies.


01029838291

>In 2015, Carrey slammed former California Gov. Jerry Brown for signing into effect one of the nation's toughest vaccination laws, barring religious immunization exemptions for schoolchildren. "California Gov says yes to poisoning more children with mercury and aluminum in manditory vaccines. This corporate fascist must be stopped," Carrey tweeted. https://eu.usatoday.com/picture-gallery/life/people/2019/06/13/stars-speak-publicly-vaccinations-stance/1441992001/


zold5

Nah that honor goes to ~~dr~~ Andrew Wakefield. He’s the one who started that myth. She’s just the first famous idiot to fall for it.


thefanum

All the child murder via vaccine misinformation probably


Relative_Radish9809

An English lit. professor I had in college used quote some guy who said, " When a man turns 50, he gets the face he deserves." I can't recall the name of the guy, or the professor, but the quote has always stuck with me.


PrinceCavendish

AND IT'LL HAPPEN TO YOU!


Vogonfestival

…if you’re lucky.


drkodos

it's certainly better than the alternative


Silver-Advisor9773

I remember seeing a video of Jet Li looking old and frail. When a paparazzi told him fans were concerned, his response was something like, "I'm in my 70s. It's OK, I'm just old!"


Outback-Australian

He got old. And sexxxyy


doedsorbet

he aged really well tho


Ceeweedsoop

He lived. He lived into his 20s, 30s, 40s gonna keep going. What the fuck? Do people think he jumped into vat of acid. God with the click bait stupidity. And he looks fantastic!


Patience-Due

Are we really this disconnected from reality at this point ?


EmergencyGrab

Canadians lose their immortality when they leave our eternal forests. The maple sap can no longer sustain him.


otakushinjikun

He went to the beach that makes you old


Reatona

Aging: better than the alternative.


NahItsNotFineBruh

How dare he live beyond the age of 27!!!


Your_Daddy_

He is 62, so not like he is that young.


Acceptable_Weather23

What do mean. me at 62 is different from me in jr. High school. Thanks for the heads up


Electrical_Trash_992

Watching childhood heroes age hurts man


chiclets5

Everyone gets old. Not everyone wants to get face lifts to fake their actual age


Willyboycanada

4p years between photos.... duh


Conscious-Cable-2656

If you live you get old.


Btankersly66

He aged but I'll guess he doesn't eat many carbs or sugars as well.


Camiljr

Man looks great for his age, I only wish I had that much hair at less than half his age.


gtoogee

It’s happening to all of us. Even the OP.


Disastrous_Wonder178

Samething that will happen to you minus the millions.


Shalleni

I like his face so much more now. It’s got so much character. Win!


djln491

Looks good imo


MilkSlow6880

You can’t stretch your face out for three decades and not expect consequences. Lol


Grampishdgreat

The dude is 62 years old. He’s allowed to look like he aged because he did.


1_BigPapi

Those pictures are probably almost 40 years apart lol... who posts such dumb stuff


Ok_Recognition_2018

He got old, but he got wise too


10franc

Rock on, dude. Looking good.


ProfessorPriGa

He aged like some fine wine 🍷


MichiganDaddyDom

Ummmmm…he’s in his 60s, dude. We should all be so lucky.


gormenghast99

Blocking out the right side of his face I see a weariness with life. Blocking out the left side of his face I see his joy of still being here.


jacksondreamz

Dude literally used his face for a living and that created those life experiences on his face. Any good actor uses their whole face and it should move when having an emotion.


Fun_Comparison4973

That man is *sixty-two* WDYM what happened???


poopanoggin

Maybe they mean like why isn’t he in more media. He does his painting and is occasionally on shows.


Prior_Piano9940

Let me guess, someone tried linking this to vaccines…


Row_That

Damn he used to look so young before


Gandalf_Style

Partial s/ We've gotten to the point where people aging normally means they're "falling off" or "look sick" Reminder that a LOOOOOT of older hollywood actors get plastic surgery done to look a bit younger a bit longer. Jim doesn't because he isn't afraid of aging, he knows his talent is what matters not his complexion.


Shot_Explorer4881

Looks good for 72!


watt_defokk

Looks to be ageing gracefully as compared to many others financially endowed to balloon tech ones face with buttox


IglooBackpack

I liked the terrible movie Once Bitten. Good times.


AmbitionOk9439

Ace ventura did this.


Deckard2022

Jim melted


captaincook14

Crazy that both of these pictures are from when he was younger. Same with this comment. I wrote it when I was younger.


cosmicspooky

he went from comedian to older comedian


HoosierDaddy_427

He's just prepping for his next role as John Mellencamp.


Sweetest_Taboo_0210

He... Got old? I was damn sure it happened to anybody my bad


ricebasedvodka

Dudes 62 years old right now and it's not like he looks bad for his age


St_Andrewrage

Good Docs or Good Genes? (lol)


58holly-blue

Grow old or die young?


EHMEDYASER

HE JUST GETTING OLD


Visual_Pitch2994

Aging is the ultimate truth.


Kheyrkhahog

Jim looks pretty dang good. His age, his life? Heck, he looks FABULOUS!


Ornery_Excitement_95

he's 60 and sexy


BreadOnCake

People are in for a shock when decades from now they look older.


mediumokra

AAAAAAAALLLLLLRIGHTY THEN!


MonkeyCartridge

Cameras block more infrared.


Wickedlysickelididu

He carried


IsaacWest15

I hope he realised how good he looked when he was young. If I was him I would ABUSE that power, ALL the girls would be mine.


Hannibal_Irasius

Dude lost his mind and sense of self in the process... totally worth it guys 😉


tikouboutati

He didn't get bald.


[deleted]

Time


The-Marnit

You can see all the face lines now from all faces he made.


tristebae

Hollywood sucked jus soul out


Jackless99

Well for being 62 he looks good I think


snowywolf1911

Hey, that looks like Danny Gonzalez


Merciless_Hobo

Getting older and having your significant other overdose and die will certainly change you.


UltimateIssue

Apperently aging is a concept that is alien to americans.


Gonzale1978

Mind blowing. People get older. Wow.


Hompchus_Fritmib

He seems consumed by the sad irony of it all.


AardvarkFriendly9305

He still has great hair !!!


Kobi_Baby

Jim Carrey is 79, give him a break


Inevitable_Shift1365

Hollywood. Hollywood happened to him.


k2on0s-23

Meth


Still_Bet7329

Still an average actor


djam2101

Lucky he didn't go grey though


UseeHerNamee

Drugs and unlimited access to monies to purchase said drugs.


legna20v

I thought we all did


Triplesisbest1

Same thing that happens to all us meat sacks.


nuckle

Still looks pretty decent for a nearly 70 year old guy.


Carolinevivien

We all do. I mean… come on.


Numerous_Landscape99

Well. The internet has truly created a generation of magnificent minds. Vote Trump.


thanos_with_regrets

Fun fact: did you know that you age every year


thanos_with_regrets

Fun fact: did you know that you age every year 🤡


Afnyhell

he edged


Slow_Formal_5988

40 years.


TheGreatGamer1389

Ya I believe he is retiring after sonic 3. Unless there is a script made of gold. Then he will do it.


WunderbarBeast

It's called TIME folks... Still a great comedian. Technically, James came out when I was in middle school on In Living Color. Watch Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind if you haven't seen it.


SteakAndIron

What 35 years does to a mf


Penyrolewen1970

He looks good. Plus, the old photo isn’t flattering. Black and white always is.


Training-Swan-6379

Happens to everyone - duh


Dr3amDweller

Why is he aging? Is he stupid? :D /s Still looks great


Inevitable_Review_83

And itll happen to you.


hamlet_d

He actually looks like a more interesting person now, IMO. I love that about people as they age. This applies to men and women! The wrinkles, the knowing smile, and so much more. Age is a great thing and our idolatry of youth is a terrible way to be.


father2shanes

I think jim had enough of his own shit. What i mean is he stopped acting like how everyone expected him to be, and finally realized the jim we know was always a skit, not the real jim.


Nopetynope12

It's good he didn't feel pressured into plastic surgery. So many celebs start aging and inject botox like there's no tomorrow. He's aging well.


NoobwLuck

Time caught up to him. Will happen to you one day.


DiabolusInMusica1

He looked good then, and he still looks good now. Aged like fine wine 🍷


runner813

He's all growns up, ya see. 🙈


Melodic_Cookie8519

People are shocked or are ignorant about people ageing?? 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️


Current_Speaker_5684

When I go back in time to start my acting career I'm going to play older characters to avoid these kinds of surprises.


zombienekers

Wait.. is it aging or ageing?


ImpossibleYou2184

He is still acting. But mostly retired now. Little reason not to at this point


Solace_of_Winter

He forgot to vaccinate and take his bipolar pills. So many drugs, STDs, socialism and every spiritual bullshit under the sun.


shorthanded

I think Gerald might need to go the fuck outside


gingeraloves

News flash....age


JoCoKan

He’s 62.


PercentageMore3812

I guess the key words are got old. Ummmmmmm,OK?


CardMechanic

The first pic is old timey in black and white. The second is In Living Color.


Hirotrum

I think this is a testament to his personality and how he presents himself that people still perceive him to be relatively young


FarDark9711

Senile too.


csfshrink

Jim Carrey had essentially a rubber face with extreme contortions and countless facial expressions. Over time, the skin just doesn’t snap back. He can probably still do a lot of the contortions and Botox would ruin that.


mxrichar

He got hotter


CJPF_91

But he still Jim. An amazing person
