James Eugene Carrey (born January 17, 1962) is a Canadian-American actor, comedian, impressionist, screenwriter, musician, producer and painter.
Jim Carrey is known as one of the greatest comedians, but he didn’t always have it easy. When he was younger he became homeless for a while after his father lost his job and as a result, he had to live in a minivan parked on a relative’s lawn. Even though the darkest time, he believed in the law of attraction. Jim Carrey is a firm believer that the universe does listen to our wishes and that if we work hard for them, they are attainable.
At the age of 28, when he was still struggling as a young comedian, he wrote himself a check for 10 million dollars and gave himself 5 years to cash it in. In the memo, he wrote: “For acting services rendered.” He kept it in his wallet it until July 1995, a few weeks before his self-imposed deadline when he found out he would be making 10 million dollars for his role in Dumb and Dumber.
