Jim Carrey says he's "fairly serious" about wanting to retire after Sonic The Hedgehog 2
The former Kidding star doesn't seem to be kidding about wanting to take a break
Jim Carrey’s taken on every kind of role, with an even mix of brilliant, career-defining roles, and some not-so-good ones. With the exception of his Showtime TV series Kidding, that ended in 2020, Carrey hasn’t exactly had the meatiest roles lately. His most recent one is playing villain Dr. Ivo Robotnik in Sonic The Hedgehog 2. And Carrey’s feeling ready to call it quits after that sequel.
In a new Access Hollywood interview, Carrey confirms he’s strongly considering retiring. “Well, I’m retiring. Yeah, probably. I’m being fairly serious,” he says. “It depends. If the angels bring some sort of script that’s written in gold ink that says to me that it’s going to be really important for people to see, I might continue down the road, but I’m taking a break.”
