LINK · via The Hollywood Reporter · Apr 22, 2026 Jim Carrey Won a Lifetime Achievement Award and the Internet Decided He Was a Clone Jim Carrey showed up to the César Awards in Paris, gave a speech entirely in French that he apparently spent months preparing for, thanked his family, traced his ancestry back three hundred years to Saint-Malo, and the internet looked at all of that and said yes but what if it was a clone. The whole thing got rocket fuel when a drag artist posted an Instagram photo of prosthetics next to a picture of Carrey at the ceremony with the caption "Alexis Stone as Jim Carrey in Paris," which was almost certainly performance art but landed on a conspiracy-primed audience the same way a lit match lands on a gas leak. A source later told the Daily Mail that Carrey finds the whole thing "sad" — not because people mocked his appearance, but because, and this is a direct quote, "people are stupid." He is sixty-four years old, he hasn't been in public since November, and apparently that is now the exact amount of time it takes for the internet to decide you've been replaced by a satanist clone, which is a sentence I genuinely did not expect to type today.
