Jim Carreyactor and comedian highly valued in the film industry for starring in films such as ‘the truman show‘, ‘The mask‘ Y ‘Forget about me!‘ Among many other projects, he has joined the list of celebrities who have decided to leave Twitter after its purchase by Elon Musk. Carrey, who in recent years has dedicated a large part of his life to painting, has said goodbye to the social network with one last tweet in which he shares an animated short inspired by his work ‘Crazy old lighthouse keeper’which could be translated as ‘The crazy old lighthouse keeper’.
I’m leaving Twitter, but 1st here’s a cartoon I made with my friend Jimmy Hayward. It’s based on my painting of a crazy old Lighthouse Keeper, standing naked in a storm, summoning the angels and shining his lamp to guide us through a treacherous night. I love you all so much! ;^j pic.twitter.com/Cqmp74A87r
“I’m leaving Twitter, but first, here’s an animation I made with my friend Jimmy Hayward. It’s based on my painting of a crazy old lighthouse keeper standing naked in a storm, calling on angels and shining his lamp to guide us through a treacherous night. I love you all so much!”says the post. Carrey, who a few years ago slowed down his acting work to focus on his facet as an artist, For the animation of the short, he has collaborated with Jimmy Hayward, animator of ‘Toy Story (Toys)‘, ‘SA monsters‘ Y ‘Finding Nemo‘, and director of ‘Horton‘ Y ‘Free Birds‘.
In February 2021, the comedian abandoned his artistic side, which he has used largely as a political protest tool that reflected his discontent with certain situations in the United States. This stage lasted approximately as long as the presidency of donald trump, one of his main objects of criticism. Two years ago Carrey communicated through Twitter his decision to close this chapter of his life, but even so he continued to do so sporadically: “Over the past 4 years, among other commitments, I’ve put considerable effort into this collection of political protest cartoons. It really does feel like you and I have crossed an ocean of outrage together… but something tells me it’s time to take a break from social media. If it seemed like I was ignoring my top Twitter followers here and outside the US and Canada in my quest to rid our democracy of ‘Orange Julius Caesar’ (Trump) and his empire of lies, I didn’t mean to. . I just assumed that a radicalized America is a threat to all of us. When a madman grabs the steering wheel of a bus loaded with innocent passengers and threatens to push it off a cliff, he tends to steal everyone’s attention.” Here are some of his most recent paintings that have expressed their dislike for people like Elon Musk, Merrick Garland, United States Attorney or against the war in Ukraine.
Capt Smirk fired 1/2 his crew. He’s banning comics: shadow banning unverified users, boldly going where no unbridled ego has gone before. He says, “$8/mo is the price of a latte.” True. It’s also cheaper than a T-shirt saying “Rob me. I’m a gullible ass!” BTW Mars mission? FAKE NEWS pic.twitter.com/qWrwD4vSis
It breaks my heart to see innocent people (especially children) put in harm’s way by yet another of history’s grandiose political jerks. Beware the unloved. pic.twitter.com/u1V35F0Z1Z
Since its inception in 2016 in the artistic sector, the roles that Carrey has played in the film industry have not been very numerous. On the big screen we have only seen him twice, both playing the villain of ‘sonic the movie‘ Doctor Robotnik and in the 2022 sequel. On television, he has starred in the series ‘kidding‘, whose 20 episodes were broadcast between 2018 and 2020. Finally, in 2020 he played the president of the United States, Joe Biden, in six episodes of ‘Saturday Night Live’.
