Jim Carrey Looks Unrecognizable as He Makes Rare Appearance

Jim Carrey’s rare public appearance at the 51st César Awards has sparked fresh speculation that he may have undergone plastic surgery.

Last November, Beverly Hills-based, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. John Diaz shared his professional opinion with OK! after reviewing photos of the actor.

“I reviewed several pictures, and it does appear as though he may have had some facial surgery,” Diaz said at the time. “In the pictures of his side profile, where he is smiling and making expressions, there is a line running below his jawline that occurs when the neck muscles are tightened during surgery. In addition, his jawline and neckline have an improved contour compared to older photos of him.”

The Hollywood funnyman, 64, drew attention when he stepped onto the red carpet at the 51st César Awards in Paris, held at the legendary L’Olympia. Dressed in a sleek all-black suit, Carrey looked sharp as he attended the prestigious ceremony.

Carrey was presented with an Honorary César recognizing his decades-long career in entertainment. During an emotional speech, he dedicated the milestone moment to his late father.

“I wanted to recognize my dad. I mean, my dad was the type of person that if you met him for five minutes, you felt like you knew him for 50 years,” Carrey said in a clip that quickly circulated online.

While the heartfelt tribute resonated with many fans, social media buzzed with commentary about his appearance. Some viewers said he looked noticeably different, prompting speculation about possible cosmetic procedures.

A few users drew celebrity comparisons, with one asking whether he was “turning into Bill Maher.” Others referenced Kris Jenner and her recent facelift, while another commenter wrote, “I’m no conspiracy theorist, but that’s not Jim Carrey.”

Additional posts questioned whether the changes were the result of surgery, with one person writing, “Surgery effects are starting to show,” and another asking, “Is he wearing a mask? Look at his neck.”
