Jenny McCarthy believes it “was definitely Jim Carrey” at the César Awards.
After Jim’s recent appearance at the French awards ceremony in February sparked rumors that the comedian and actor had been replaced by someone else, Jenny shared her thoughts on what she thinks about the conspiracy theory about Jim’s changed appearance.
The actress, who famously dated Jim from 2005 to 2010, explained in a recent conversation with People at the iHeartRadio Music Awards that “it was definitely Jim Carrey.”
To Jenny, Jim seemed more content and “happy.”
“He looked very happy at that awards ceremony. And I was happy for him,” she said.
“That was the first thing I noticed. I said, ‘Oh wow, Jim looks really happy,'” Jenny added.
McCarthy’s husband, Donnie Wahlberg, who also attended the musical awards ceremony, noted, “You know, that’s the part that people unfortunately miss.”
“We are so obsessed with how he looks that we didn’t think about how happy he looked,” he added.
Jim’s appearance in February created a lot of online buzz speculating that someone had impersonated the Truman Show actor.
Before attending the Cesar Awards, Jim last publicly stepped into the Roll Hall of Fame in November 2025 when he introduced Soundgarden in the Rock.
