American actor Jim Carrey "reappeared" in the public eye to receive an honorary César at the 51st French film awards ceremony on February 26. However, his appearance did not gain relevance for his achievement, but for the appearance of his face, which gave rise to all kinds of theories, such as the actor "being dead" and that he "had been replaced by a clone". According to the Argentine News Agency, the controversy over Carrey's "new face" set off the alarm bells of conspiracy theorists, who pointed out that the actor's gestures, his voice, and even the color of his eyes were different. The theory that Jim Carrey is dead grew on social networks after multiple videos and photos of the actor in his films circulated over the weekend, comparing them with his last appearance in Paris. "I threw myself into a great challenge by trying to give my speech in French. I wrote it, researched it, and practiced it like crazy. However, when I saw everyone else talking a thousand kilometers per hour up there while receiving their awards, I told myself: 'I'm dead,'" the comedian recounted about the speech he gave when he received his award. The truth behind Jim Carrey's new look: it was a social experiment. For the fans' peace of mind, Carrey's new look was none other than the impersonator of stars, Alexis Stone. Stone ended the mystery by sharing a post on his Instagram account, showing a very first close-up of his face as "Carrey," another with the mask and dentures he used to impersonate him, and one of him in a gala outfit at the awards ceremony. However, some users still suspect the veracity of the facts and demand that the makeup artist upload proof of him wearing the mask, because they claim the photo was made with Artificial Intelligence to alleviate the conspiracy theories about Carrey.
