Overview
- McCarthy, speaking to People at the March 26 iHeartRadio Music Awards, said it was “definitely Jim Carrey” onstage and emphasized how happy he looked.
- Carrey’s publicist reiterated that he attended the February 26 ceremony in Paris to accept the Honorary César and delivered his speech in French.
- César Awards general delegate Gregory Caulier said the visit was planned for months and that Carrey practiced a French speech, calling the impersonation chatter a non-issue.
- Social posts on X promoted unverified clone or mask claims, and a drag artist alleged a prosthetic disguise, but officials and reporters have not substantiated any of it.
- Carrey has made few public appearances in recent years, which helped focus online attention on changes in his appearance during the French honor.
