Speaker A
spent half of his life failing to develop a successful career. He was desperate for the acceptance and approval of others who were willing to discard him whenever they pleased. Yet, through the power of divine intervention or just pure talent, he finally made it.
Speaker A
He made classic films in multiple genres, generating billions of dollars and inspiring people all over the world. And yet, he felt empty, alone, lacking purpose and identity. And once the Hollywood facade veered its ugly head, Carrey did not run away. Instead, he used his
Speaker A
platform to expose the soulless, evil industry that's praised by innocent people who don't understand they are being fooled.
Speaker A
Jim, you got really dressed up for the occasion. You look good.
Speaker A
I didn't get dressed up. Who did? There is no me. There's no you. No, we're not here. This is a dream. It's just things happening, and there are clusters of tetrahedrons moving around together.
Speaker A
Okay, so what's happening in our world right now? It's not our world. None of this is real.
Speaker A
Nope. So you're just passing. We don't matter. We don't matter. The first time Jim Carrey experienced failure was when he was 15 at the Toronto Comedy Club, Yuck Yucks. I stood up there and I did this horrible, corny act. Halfway
Speaker A
through it, they started playing the soundtrack of Jesus Christ Superstar saying, "Crucify him! Crucify him! Crucify him!" Mark got on the microphone backstage and went, "Totally boring! Totally boring!" I was 15. I got no leeway for that at all. His first time on stage
Speaker A
was so traumatic, it's surprising Carrey didn't quit comedy altogether. The only reason he took a two-year break was because his family was so poor they could not afford to invest in his dream. The family of four lived in a Volkswagen
Speaker A
van near Burlington, Canada. Jim and his brother John also spent months living in a tent in the Charles Daily Park on Lake Ontario. But Jim soon overcame his fears and returned back to the stage. In 1979, the 17-year-old quickly transitioned from
Speaker A
open mics to regular page shows. In addition to growing in popularity, Carrey attempted to break into the industry by auditioning to be a cast member for the 1980-1981 season of NBC's Saturday Night Live. Unfortunately, SNL's executive producer selected Charles Rocket over
Speaker A
Carrey. Facing failure once again, Carrey continued performing standup across Toronto and the surrounding towns. The reason why some people rejected Jim's comedy early on was because, well, there wasn't really much comedy in it. He was merely an impressionist. He could mimic
Speaker A
and resemble famous people or characters. His act didn't have transition jokes or stories, just impression after impression. Could you imagine the FWN hosting a cooking show, right? You take your pot and you put it on the stove like this.
Speaker A
First, you fill it with water like this. All right, you follow me? So F. Luckily for Jim, there was someone very powerful out there who did believe in him. Writer for the Toronto Star Bruce Blackadar raved about Carrey, calling him
Speaker A
a genuine star coming to life. Carrey receiving significant mainstream media coverage for the first time ignited the much-needed momentum in his career. The review increased demand for his impressionist standup act throughout the country. In April of 1981, he appeared in
Speaker A
an episode of the television standup show An Evening at The Improv. That summer, he landed his first acting role in Introducing Janet, a made-for-TV movie that premiered in September 1981 on the CBC and drew more than a million viewers
Speaker A
for its first airing in Canada. As he continued to perform in comedy clubs nationwide, comedian Rodney Dangerfield took notice and signed him to open his tour. By December of 1981, Carrey was a well-known comic in Canada. I mean, I
Speaker A
don't think everyone has that mobility, that flexibility. I mean, have you ever thought about that? Not well, I guess it's because I'm tremendously vain and I stand in the mirror a lot. What about Sylvester Stallone? I do. Hey, you're going to go out with me,
Speaker A
Mickey. I mean, if you don't, I'm going to break your legs. You know what I mean? I'll go. Okay, all right. But every time Jim took one step forward in his career, Carrey's momentum would come to a
Speaker A
screeching halt. And I don't mean to bring the momentum of this video to a screeching halt, but I do have to tell you about today's sponsor. Have you heard that the flavored air category is quickly becoming the leading alternative
Speaker A
to vaping and smoking? It's a whole new movement towards better habits led by the sponsor of today's video, Fume. Fume fills the void ditching a bad habit can leave. It's not a vape. There is no nicotine, and it has no batteries to
Speaker A
charge. Flavored air isn't like vaping. If vapor was compared to sticky soap, Fume cores are closer to herbal teas. Fume has lots of delicious flavors to choose from, like crisp mint and orange vanilla. With flavored air, you can satisfy your oral
Speaker A
fixation through a passive diffusion system that utilizes no electronics, vapor, or combustion. Fume continuously invests in third-party studies to ensure the safety of their products, and they are backed by doctors in the US. The device feels really good in your hands
Speaker A
and makes a good fidget toy. I tried their cinnamon hearts flavor, and it's sweet yet refreshing. Fume has served over 300,000 customers, and you can be the next success story. For a limited time, use my code PatrickCC to get your

Speaker A
the Laugh Factory, two clubs that have been an incubator for just about every comedy legend in the '80s and '90s. Additionally, performing on The Tonight Show was a major milestone for a comedian's career, and it was a dream of
Speaker A
Jim's. By the spring of 1983, he was invited to perform a standup set on the highly rated late-night show. This surely would have been the perfect recipe for Jim's career to skyrocket. However, following a lackluster club set at The
Speaker A
Improv, the showrunners at Tonight revoked their invitation. I had kind of a lukewarm night, and then I heard the news that I had lost The Tonight Show. It could have been the end of me, but my brain has always had this fail-safe
Speaker A
space that goes, "I don't know how, but it's going to happen a different way." Accepting failure again, Carrey returned home in April 1983 to rejuvenate and perform standup in a familiar environment. While in Toronto, CTV's flagship news magazine program W5 did a
Speaker A
feature on Carrey that aired nationally in Canada. Were you just born with this flat face? I guess, always hamming it up, you know, just sort of came natural. I don't, I didn't know until like a year ago that that was different than
Speaker A
everybody else, that my face was so weird. I realized that that's what my special thing is, I guess, is that I'm weird, is that I'm rubber. One thing about Canada is they always held it down for
Speaker A
Jim. They seem to understand his greatness before the rest of the world did. This hometown motivation is just what he needed to keep his dreams alive. So yet again, he went back to Hollywood. Within a few months, Jim successfully
Speaker A
landed the main role for a sitcom called The Duck Factory. Becoming the lead role in a sitcom was a massive opportunity that was seemingly reserved for A-list comedians in the '80s. It became a little more normalized in the '90s for new
Speaker A
talent to get their own show. This means that Carrey was ahead of the curve, sitting on a potential gold mine. To promote the series, Carrey was set to appear on The Tonight Show starring...
Speaker A
can deliver the punchline Rand you want to take a look at this Marty script pass it's really not as bad as you'd think I've heard the same thing said about raw fish but I wouldn't want to try that either although Carrie was
Speaker A
the main character they seemingly didn't play to his strengths he never got the funny lines and therefore the audience didn't really build a relationship with him but still Jim knew there was something around the corner from him he
Speaker A
finally got a taste of that Hollywood dream and he could not subside this was his Destiny I used to open my arms I used to sit up there you know and open my arms and imagine a giant funnel of
Speaker A
of gifts from the universe honest to God you could you know cut to me there I'm like like this and uh and if nothing else it made me feel more positive about where I was I I drove down from a hall
Speaker A
and drive every every night you know that I went up there feeling that I was one of the biggest actors in Hollywood I was doing wonderful work that made people happy uh I was you know I owned all that that was it you know I guess
Speaker A
you know what I own when you think about it is is my fi he decided to audition for Saturday Night Live again this time ahead of the show's 1985 86 season during which returning executive producer Lauren Michaels sought to hire
Speaker A
an allnew cast 5 years after his previous SNL audition 23-year-old Jim Carrey was rejected again he never even got the opportunity to audition his material in front of Lauren Michaels because the producers and Senior writers just assumed he wouldn't like it but
Speaker A
unlike his previous SNL rejection Carrie was starting to establish a career for himself and he did have something to fall back on Once Bitten was a film released months after his SNL audition however it drowned in negative reviews
Speaker A
while underperforming at the box office after returning to the Comedy Club Circuit with Impressions Carrie made his third attempt at Landing a spot on SNL in the fall of 1986 unfortunately he was rejected for the third and final time
Speaker A
the reason he tried so hard to land SNL is because it would have given him that legitimacy he needed as a comedian to mention he would have also perfectly fit into their sketch comedy format but many people didn't think Jim Carrey was that
Speaker A
funny some didn't even consider him a comedian because well he didn't really tell jokes combine that with the fact that his movies and TV roles were failing and maybe that was an indication that he just wasn't going to be the
Speaker A
Hollywood star that he and the people of Canada thought he would be or maybe it's because he wasn't being promoted in the right way or cast in the right roles perhaps Jim Carrey just didn't fit the old that a comedian or actor in the80s
Speaker A
was supposed to be but I never make it in the normal ways it's always the side window or the basement window or something like that same was you know it's been true all the way along was was it a tremendous defeat for you when you
Speaker A
go in audition for Saturday night life cuz you were on listen you did impr psychotic like belief system that that goes uh you know something magical is going to happen I don't know how it's going to happen but if if there's no way
Speaker A
in a new way will be created kind of thing most people would have given up but Jim had invested so much into this life he knew if he just stayed the course something good would come and surely by divine intervention luck or
Speaker A
just genuinely working on his craft Jim Carrey made one connection that changed his career Jim secured a role in the 1988 comedy film Earth Girls Are Easy which is about a Southern California girl who befriends three furry aliens
Speaker A
after their spaceship lands in her swimming pool actor and comedian Damon Waynes played an ancillary role Ro in the film and was extremely impressed with car's comedic talents they became friends Damon told his brother Keenan about Jim while he was developing the
Speaker A
soon to be groundbreaking American sketch comedy television show In Living Color and Damon was like y Keenan Damon was Keenan's right- hand man that's his Lieutenant o color okay that that was his right hand man so he was like you
Speaker A
got to trust me this white boy is funny he's like Silly Putty you he twist himself up he could suck his own be tried it white boy crazy and Keenan was like okay let me see him at a time when
Speaker A
most sketch comedy shows were dominated by white performers In Living Color stood out by centering black and Latino Talent using humor to tackle issues like race inequality and stereotypes head on the show broke barriers by featuring skits that Blended sharp social
Speaker A
commentary with slapstick and absurd humor often mocking political figures celebrities and cultural Trends in ways that were both Prov provocative and hilarious Carrie was a key member on In Living Color where he became known for his wild physical comedy and over the
Speaker A
toop character portrayals as one of the few white cast members he stood out for his high energy performances and fearless commitment to outlandish roles which showcased his talent for slapstick and exaggerated facial expressions wow a real fireman that's right princess say I
Speaker A
sure have a beautiful family here why thank you Fire Marshal Bill now how can we help you well it's National Fire Safety Week I've been going door to door looking for fire hazard mind if I give your place a
Speaker A
little inspection car's role on In Living Color is exactly what he needed to prove to Hollywood that he could be a star from there he secured a lead role in a major Hollywood production Ace Ventura Pet Detective which grossed $17
Speaker A
million worldwide he finally did it all his hard work paid off he finally proved himself to Hollywood and and unlike all of his previous success his momentum was not about to slow down Jim Carrey was about to take over the 9s and become one
Speaker A
of the greatest physical comedian actors in entertainment history Warner immediately paid him $5 million to reprise his role as Ace Ventura while filming The Mask new line Cinema offered Carrie $7 million to make a sequel and paid him $7 million to appear in Dumb
Speaker A
and Dumber at the time it may have seemed unwise to offer Carrie such a large amount of money for a new Talent however any skepticism regarding car's ability to fill movie theater seats was laid to rest following the 1994 release
Speaker A
of the Mask a comedy film that follows Stanley ipkiss a mild-mannered unlucky in love Bank clerk who discovers a magical mask that transforms him into a superhuman trickster with cartoonish abilities The Mask amplifies Stanley's hidden desire and confidence turning him
Speaker A
into a green-faced wild and Unstoppable character with exaggerated Powers reminiscent of classic animated characters the mask was a critical in commercial success grossing over $ 350 million worldwide 5 months after the mask new line Cinema released Dumb and
Speaker A
Dumber the Buddy comedy film Carrie starden alongside Jeff Daniels Nicholas Cage was set to be car's co-star but his team could not negotiate a $2 million increase fee the company was reluctant to hire Daniels due to his limited
Speaker A
comedic experience but the writers and Carrie vocalized their support for him new line Cinema offered a low salary of just $50,000 hoping that Daniels would turn it down but he accepted meanwhile his co-star Jim Carrey was paid $7 million I
Speaker A
can't feel my f fingers anymore Li they numb maybe you should wear these extra gloves my hands are starting to get sweaty the film was another commercial home run for Jim grossing over $247 million worldwide against a budget of
Speaker A
just 17 million the Stupid humor and quotable lines driven by the outrageous antics of its lead characters produced a classic the following year Carrie appeared as the Riddler in the 1995 superhero film Batman Forever true to Jim's signature comedic style his
Speaker A
version of The Riddler was manic flamboyant and full of over-the-top antics which contrasted with the darker more subdued villains typically seen in the Batman Universe he brought a vibrant almost cartoonish quality to the character while some critics felt his
Speaker A
performance lean too much into comedy others appreciated the unpredictable and zany energy he brought to the role car's contribution helped the film gross over $336 million worldwide becoming the sixth highest grossing film of 1995 Carrie was undoubtedly one of the
Speaker A
biggest draws in Hollywood throughout the 9s and became the first actor to be paid $20 million for a role and that was to star in the dark comedy the Cable Guy he was among the top ranks of a-listers
Speaker A
alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger Harrison Ford and Sylvester Stallone you would have first want to get $20 million movie right that's what they say I mean you had to feel good you know the weirdest thing is that I uh I have never worried
Speaker A
about money never ever and I just it's not it's not never because I went there and I lived that way and realized that you know uh we lived on the road in a van for a while after we were in the
Speaker A
worst jobs of our lives and we were making money and we decided to quit because we were turning into monsters we lived in a van and we're happier than we had ever been you know and and I guess
Speaker A
that taught me that that uh you know to trust the universe car's historic payday became a frequent talking point whenever the actor was mentioned in June of 1995 variety wrote the headline hwood finds $20 million tab for Carrie pling scary
Speaker A
an Entertainment Weekly wrote you'd be smiling too if you just got paid $20 million although he was just 2 years into his Hollywood boom he was a little confused why did they care so much about the money why couldn't they just talk
Speaker A
about the art or his roles or his acting his movie The Cable Guy was considered a box office flop Jim was not playing the role of a lovable goof but rather an unsavory Insidious psychopath critics seemingly were harsher on this movie
Speaker A
because of all the hype surrounding his $20 million payday they used this film to basically denounce his worth in Hollywood but he felt it was important for him to expand and take creative risk I certainly don't want to play it safe
Speaker A
my whole life you know I I don't want to uh I think the danger is uh is that you start um patronizing your audience you know you start to try to see okay well this worked so I better stick with this
Speaker A
you know and and uh then no growth happens at all you know and you know whether something is a success or not um you you have to take the chance of you know losing a few people because you do gain others Carrie went
Speaker A
back to his stereotypical silly self in the 1997 comedy liar liar the story centers around a lawyer's strained relationship with his young son who disappointed by his father's broken promises makes a birthday wish that his dad cannot tell a lie for 24 hours
Speaker A
what's up Fletcher your cholesterol de me liar liar was a huge critical and Commercial Success but Jim remained firm that he was not going to just do comedy roles because it was the safe route for him and it was because of
Speaker A
these creative risks that he made his best film to date The Truman Show without the ace fentura I wouldn't be doing it you know without that I wouldn't be doing it because Peter Weir looked at that and he went here someone
Speaker A
who wants to make take chances who was willing to risk it all basically but a lot of people who love you as Ace and Fire Marshall Bill and all these the mask and all of that have a hard time
Speaker A
sometimes understanding why you feel compelled to take these chances I I'm not compelled I I just have the opportunity I'm given the opportunity so I have to you know I'm I'm a person who's interested in human behavior and
Speaker A
always have been and uh I have more colors than just the ones I've shown so far and and I don't negate them in any way and I want to go back and do fun crazy wild stuff and that's that's great
Speaker A
it serves a purpose it makes people forget about their problems The Truman Show is a psychological comedy that revolves around the concepts of control Free Will and the Blurred boundaries between reality and illusion Truman Burbank is an ordinary man who slowly
Speaker A
realizes that his entire life has been staged as a part of a massive reality television show unbeknownst to him churman has been the star of the show since birth living in a constructed town called sea Haven where everyone around
Speaker A
him are actors the film's opening Arc establishes how German's reality is fabricated by a media Corporation governed by a single writer everything from his childhood fears to his day-to-day interactions is carefully manufactured by the people behind the central Show's production time and time
Speaker A
again even the actors around Truman Force unsettle product placements into his narrative further enhancing the artificial nature of Truman's reality you can't stand me that's not true why don't you let me fix you some of this new Mo cocoa drink all natural
Speaker A
cocoa beans from the upper slopes of Mount Nicaragua no artificial sweeteners what the hell are you talking about who you talking to I've tasted other Cocos this is the best much like Truman Carrie and his Hollywood peers can become puppets to the entertainment
Speaker A
industry due to the influence of powerful Studios agents producers and Executives who prioritize profits over artistic expression these industry forces often dictate the types of roles these actors take on and the way they are marketed to the public actors may be
Speaker A
pressured to conform to certain stereotypes or be typ cast into specific roles that fit commercial Trends limiting their creative freedom their image both onc screen and offscreen is often extremely managed with actors sometimes required to maintain certain looks personas or behaviors to align
Speaker A
with a brand or Studio's Vision this environment can strip actors of their autonomy turning them into Commodities within a system rather than an individual The Truman Show had a profound impact on Carrie because he realized that his real life was actually
Speaker A
very similar to Truman's no not necessarily but what I want doesn't stem from Show Business uh generally I I mean I have I started out with many many desires as far as uh as far as this business goes I've so surpassed all of
Speaker A
them that I that I that it's uh it's not as meaningful to me anymore I really love the work itself i' I've examined myself on several occasions why am I really doing this am I doing this because I want to be famous and I think
Speaker A
there was an element to that when I started out I think I wasn't necessarily seen as much or as uh intently as I wanted to be when I was a kid I had I had a job uh at least in my own mind and
Speaker A
that was to make my mother feel better she was uh kind of uh very ill in many ways but I felt the need to uh make them feel that their life was worthwhile that they did something special just by the
Speaker A
very fact that they brought me into the world so from a very young age I wanted to convince them that I was a miracle and then I wanted to convince the world that I was a miracle and uh and now I
Speaker A
want to convince the world that I'm just like them it seemed around the early 2000s that Jim started to see Hollywood for what it truly is behind the glitz and Glam it's just a vapid display of wealth people with a holier than thou
Speaker A
mentality masquerading around celebrating each other for menial displays of talent inflating their egos to dangerous levels in deeper interviews it was clear Jim was aware of his role in this soulless machine but he didn't reveal his true thoughts and feelings
Speaker A
about it yet The Truman Show was a critical success grossing over $264 million worldwide it also marked a significant shift for Jim as he demonstrated his range and depth as an actor he even earned a Golden Globe for
Speaker A
best actor in a motion picture drama no thank you very much Hollywood Foreign Press I will really love this I'll enjoy it so much right down to the chewy chocolate Center unfortunately what should have been the start of a
Speaker A
string of experimental projects for Carrie never occurred as the comedian retreated back to his comfort zone entering the 2000s carry continued appearing in comedy Blockbusters Like Me Myself and Irene How the Grinch sold Christmas and Bruce Almighty he even
Speaker A
reintroduced himself to a new generation of children through films like lemony snickets A Series of Unfortunate Events and A Christmas Carol as well as the animated film Horton here's a who these films combined made well over $1 billion
Speaker A
at the worldwide box office but even in the middle of his success Jim struggled with depression questioning what his purpose was in all of this was on Prozac for a long time yep I was on Prozac for for a long
Speaker A
time and I I'm not sure I it may have helped me out of a a jam for a little bit I I had to get off at a certain point because I realized that you know everything's just okay no Peaks and
Speaker A
valleys there are Peaks there are valleys but they're all kind of carved and smoothed out and it feels like a low level of Despair you live in where you're not getting any answers but you're living okay and you can smile at
Speaker A
the office you know but it's it's a low level of Despair and you don't take any of them you don't take anything now nothing I don't take anything I rarely drink coffee I'm very serious about no alcohol no drugs I just life is too
Speaker A
beautiful so where I hang out with uh Buddha and Krishna and uh you know all those guys are you a bu Jesus I'm a Buddhist I'm a Muslim I'm a Christian I'm whatever you want me to be you know
Speaker A
it all comes down to the same thing you're in a loving place or you're in an unloving place if you're with me right now we cannot be unhappy it's not possible after winning multiple Awards generating hundreds of millions of
Speaker A
dollars and being considered a living legend in the entertainment industry in 2009 Jim seemingly had an Awakening through the readings of echart toi a spiritual teacher and self-help author I woke up and I understood suddenly f is responsible for if not all most of the
Speaker A
suffering we experience and then I suddenly felt like I was looking at these thoughts from another perspective and I wondered who is it that's aware that I'm thinking I was thrown into this expansive amazing feeling of freedom from myself from my problems I saw that
Speaker A
I was bigger than what I do I was bigger than my body I was everything and everyone ever since that day I've been trying to get back there also gave a profound speech to the graduating class of Maharishi University
Speaker A
of management when I was about 28 after a decade as a professional comedian I realized One Night in La that the purpose of my life had always been to free people from concern just like my dad and when I realized this I dubbed my
Speaker A
new devotion the Church of freedom from concern and I dedicated myself to that Ministry what's yours how will you serve the world what do they need that your talent can provide that's all you have to figure out as someone who's done what
Speaker A
you're about to go and do I can tell you from experience the effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is everything you gain in life will rot and fall apart and all that would be left of you is what was in your
Speaker A
heart my choosing to free people from concern got me to the top of a mountain look where I am look what I get to do I did something that made people Pres present their best selves to me wherever
Speaker A
I go I am at the top of the mountain and I was and I the only the only one I hadn't freed was myself and that's when my search for identity deepened I wondered who I'd be without my fame who
Speaker A
would I be if I said things that people didn't want to hear that piece that we're after lies somewhere beyond personality beyond the perception of others Beyond invention and disguise even Beyond effort itself to find real peace you have to let the armor
Speaker A
your need for acceptance can make you invisible in this world don't let anything stand in the way of the light that shines through this form risk being seen in all of your glory car's career took a significant nose dive during the 2010s with his only
Speaker A
notable role being Thomas popper Jr in Mr Popper's Penguins and the reprisal of his role as Lloyd in Dumb and Dumber too which was significantly less successful ful than its predecessor both critically and commercially but while promoting Dumb and Dumber 2 he had a strange
Speaker A
appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live is that a gang sign have you uh oh like you don't know what it is you don't know what that is I have no idea you don't know Jimmy Fallon doesn't know David Letterman doesn't know all the comics
Speaker A
and show business don't know what this is I I'm here tonight to blow the lid off it to be The Whistleblower I'm sick and tired of the secrets and the lies it is the secret symbol of the Luminati and you're a part of it and it
Speaker A
is the all mocking tongue for years now talk show hosts people on television people in sitcoms have been hired by the government to throw you off the track to distract you to make you laugh and stuff like that make you happy and docel so
Speaker A
you don't know what's really going on you know and they get out there in the woods in a circle naked and they decide these things you know what they're trying to do who this thing is buzzing hold on they're trying to turn us into
Speaker A
you know uh you know consumer drones of some sort I just got to get this and yeah yeah listen I'm in the middle of blowing a lid off some uh what happened I'm sorry Jimmy I was temporarily interrupted by my iPhone 6
Speaker A
Plus .5 heads up HD display I think what I was really trying to say was I think people were all enjoyed Dumb and Dumber this weekend there were multiple sources that claimed that they were at the show and that the
Speaker A
whole time there was no actual audience laughter and a laugh track was added in post- production to the video that was uploaded to YouTube Some people looked at Jim's mockery as Brave that he was potentially exposing the truth and that
Speaker A
his life could be in danger others dismiss this as an actor who is past his Prime and merely trying to do something shocking to promote a movie but car's public Awakening and attacks on Hollywood did not slow down during his
Speaker A
2016 Golden Globe speech he was a little sarcastic but his message was very clear you know when I go to sleep at night I'm not just a guy going to sleep I'm two-time Golden Globe winner Jim Carrey going to get some well-needed
Speaker A
shy and when I dream I don't just dream any old dream no sir I dream about being three-time Golden Globe winning actor Jim Carrey because then I would be enough and I could stop this this terrible search for what I know ultimately won't
Speaker A
fulfill me but these are important these Awards I don't want you to think that just because if you blew up our solar system alone you wouldn't be able to find us or any of human history with the naked
Speaker A
eye but from our perspective this is huge coincidentally at the same time Jim was outwardly speaking about his spiritual awakening and calling out the horrors of Hollywood he was also in the middle of some pretty dark times with
Speaker A
shocking allegations against him that he could have prevented and allegedly caused the death of his then girlfriend Katrina white Carrie had been periodically dating Irish born makeup artist Katrina white since 2012 in 2013 White married Mark Burton but continued
Speaker A
occasionally seeing Carrie until her untimely death on September 28th 2015 the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office later ruled white took her own life by overdosing on prescription drugs including ambian propranol LA and peret Katrina often posted on her Instagram
Speaker A
subtle hints that she was constantly working on her mental health posting motivational spiritual quotes or self-help messages she was also a few months into her journey studying Scientology which as we learned in my Tom Cruz video typically begins with someone paying for auditing
Speaker A
sessions which is their version of therapy on September 19th 2016 Burton filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Carrie claiming that he illegally obtained and supplied white with the powerful painkillers that killed her the lawsuit alleged that Carrie had
Speaker A
surveillance cameras on the home where white stayed before she was discovered car's assistant checked the camera and noticed White had not moved from the home for more than 24 hours after learning of this fact neither Carrie nor his assistant alerted authorities the
Speaker A
drugs found in White's body all came from three pill bottles found near her body bearing the name Arthur King the suit said that Carrie got the drugs from a doctor who conspired with Carrie to illegally prescribe them to him under
Speaker A
the false name of Arthur King Burton suit claimed that Carrie also sent a bogus text message to White on September 27th when she was already dead dead an attempt to straighten out his story according to the suit car's offer to pay
Speaker A
for White's funeral in Ireland was merely an effort to paint him as a grieving good guy as opposed to someone closely involved in her death but Burton suit also claimed that Carrie never actually paid for any of the funeral
Speaker A
expenses in response to the lawsuit Carrie stated what a terrible shame it would be easy for me to get in a back room with this man's lawyer and make this go away but there are some moments in life when you have to stand up and
Speaker A
defend your honor against the evil in this world the following month on October 11th 2016 Katrina White's mother bridgid Sweetman sued Carri for wrongful death and sought damages for violation of the drug dealer liability act in court documents obtained by US Weekly
Speaker A
Sweetman accused Carrie of giving her daughter prescription drugs as well as sexually transmitted diseases and being verbally abusive car's abuse included but was not limited to Carrie giving Miss White three STDs without warning her lying to her about it dumping her
Speaker A
out of concern for saving his own carefully crafted Public Image calling her a and shaming her and then using his high-priced Hollywood lawyers and fixers to intimidate and threaten her in an effort to silence her attorneys representing White's family
Speaker A
released a 2013 iPad note allegedly sent from white to Carrie which in part read this is what I want you gave me HSV and HPV I want you to apologize for it because you care enough to I want you to
Speaker A
understand that however little a thing seems to you it ruins a girl's life before you I might not have had very much but I had respect I was a happy person I loved life I was confident and I felt good in my own skin and was proud
Speaker A
of most decisions I made I met you you introduced me to cocaine prostitutes mental abuse and disease however what I found interesting was that there was another note that looks handwritten that was being spread around yet the article
Speaker A
was quoting a different note like they were displaying this handwritten note as the evidence and saying that this was the iPad note but then there was a separate iPad note that they were directly quoting and the two notes are
Speaker A
written very similarly and they contain basically all the same subject matter but they're not the same so how could you write an article that says in the letter she says blah blah blah and then display the letter as your evidence
Speaker A
where it does not say what you just said it said it says soon after Sweetman filed the lawsuit The Daily Mail reported that a Mr Jose Lopez believed to be an alias by Carrie filed an STD test the test showed Lopez's birth date
Speaker A
listed as January 17th 1962 the same as Carrie and also showed positive results for both types of herpes chlamydia and hepatitis A the results of Lopez's tests were submitted as evidence by sweetman's lawyer Michael aanat who also issued a
Speaker A
declaration Carrie then proceeded to have unprotected with Miss white with full knowledge that he was STD positive including on February 12th 2013 2 days before Valentine's Day and within weeks after learning the test results it's interesting that in these lawsuits they
Speaker A
claim two different times that carry used fake names one to obtain drugs and one to obtain an STD test but how do they know this what evidence did they provide to prove this these are some major accusations and not enough
Speaker A
evidence to back it up and because of that the wrongful death lawsuit against Carrie had been dismissed in February of 2018 there seemingly was a set outside of Court without a trial we won't really know what happened but blaming someone
Speaker A
else's death especially in the way that it happened on someone else is definitely a complicated situation typically those types of deaths are not caused by just one thing but rather a potential lifetime of issues that unfortunately we just don't seem to know
Speaker A
how to solve but by this point Jim had experienced all of the glory and wrath Hollywood can offer they love you then criticize you then put you in a box and determine who you are they might even accuse you of committing horrible crimes
Speaker A
but the trade-off is that they give you Millions if not hundreds of millions of dollars and it was abundantly clear in 2017 that Jim was fed up with the Hollywood Game notably in his New York Fashion Week red carpet interview where
Speaker A
he made a bunch of existential philosophical pronouncements no no no I'm I'm I'm do it just fine uh I just uh you know there's no meaning to any of this so I I wanted to find the most meaningless thing that I could come to
Speaker A
and join and here I am they're mean you got to admit it's completely meaningless well they say they're celebrating icons inside celebrating icons boy that is just the absolute lowest aiming you know possibility that we could come up with I
Speaker A
I don't believe in icons uh I don't believe in personalities I believe that peace lies Beyond personality Beyond invention and disguise beyond the red s you wear on your chest that makes bullets bounce off I believe that it's
Speaker A
deeper than that I believe we're a field of energy dancing for itself Jem you got really dressed up for the occasion you look good no I didn't that aned I didn't get dressed up there is no me there's no
Speaker A
you we're not here this is a dream just things happening and there are clusters of tetrahedrons moving around together okay so what's happening in our world right now cuz there is a lot of news that actually is relevant that's not
Speaker A
that thing it's not our world none of this is real npe so you're just we don't matter we don't matter oh wow there's the good news while some headlines questioned his sanity others felt like he was just experiencing an ego death
Speaker A
something that a lot of people in Hollywood could probably benefit from I think that we're all you know we're all trying to uh add things to ourselves so that we can finally Define our Define ourselves and then everybody will get us
Speaker A
and they'll go okay that this is what you are and then if you actually get there uh you will find it so empty that you'll realize that's really not what it's about it's it's about not only you know just going with the flow but it's
Speaker A
about not taking a personal you know it's like the difference between house a house and my house is a world of difference and it's the my that's the problem don't get me wrong you know Jim Carrey is a great character and I was
Speaker A
lucky to get the part but I don't think of that as me anymore I don't exist so uh they're all characters that I've played including Jim Carrey including Joel beish including any of those things they're all characters you know they Jim Carrey
Speaker A
was a less intentional character right because I thought I was just building something that people would like but it was a character you know so it's uh you know I played the guy that was free from concern so that people who watched me
Speaker A
would be free from concern Carrie continued to express that his identity to the world is a character not a real representation of who he actually is as an actor you play characters and if you go deep enough into those characters you
Speaker A
realize your own character is pretty thin to begin with you suddenly have this separation and go who's Jim Carrey oh he doesn't exist actually there's just a relative manifestation of Consciousness appearing and someone gave him a name a religion a nationality and
Speaker A
he clustered those together into something that's supposed to be a personality and it doesn't actually exist none of that stuff if you drill down is real Hollywood will not make you happy a career or a dream job will not
Speaker A
make you happy but you shouldn't let that disappoint you instead let it free you of the constraints and the pressures that you or Society have put on yourself what you do is not who you are so you might as well try as hard as you can to
Speaker A
do something that you actually love not because you're searching for an identity or a purpose but simply because it's a little easier than doing something you hate and instead let your friends family food nature and God determine your
Speaker A
happiness I I I I I feel like and this is something you might never hear another celebrity say as long as time exists uh I have enough I've done enough I am enough
