The green, furry skin of the Grinch was also a proof of his hard work and talent in acting where Carrey spends a lot of time of his time in Makeup to transform into this character.
In the early years of the 2000s, Carrey exploded the genre with movies like ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind’ where he portrayed the character of Joel Barish, a man who erases all signs of a failed relationship. The themes of memory, love and loss presented in the film helped to bring out the other facet that not many people knew Carrey possessed – the ability to act drama.
