» Story of Bill Harvey
I worked security for about 75% of "Me, Myself & Irene" in Vermont. Jim was a very friendly person to all of his fans and entire security force. One day as we were filming in Burlington, VT, a little handicapped girl in a wheelchair approached Jim and he gave her a spot in the train scene being shot. On another day, at the same location, my wife and her girl friend came to have lunch. As we were in the crew dinning tent Jim and Renée came in and sat down at our table, they were there to celebrate a crew member's birthday. Jim sat next to my wife and Renée sat next to her friend, they were very friendly saying hello to both my wife and friend. Jim is really a nice person and great actor!

I ran into Jim while I was visiting some friends in Jacksonville Florida. At first I thought it was another celeb look alike. But then after I got a good look at him I then realized that it was him. There was no way to get his attention because he was too busy fighting off the already existing mob that was following him. It would have been nice to say hello but I didn't want to seem like a freak like all the others that were bothering him that day, so I left him alone.

I used to hang out with Jim when he lived in Toronto. I would go to his show and then we would have french fries and gravy at Fran's next door. He used to drive my Camaro sticking his head out the driver's window just like in "Ace Ventura". I had a lot of good times with him and hope to meet up with him again some day. Jim, remember my friend with the lime green boxers and lime drink? You know who this is. I miss ya.

I wasn't with them, but quite a few years ago my parents went to Yuk Yuk's in London Ontario, Canada and Jim Carrey was there doing stand-up. They didn't get his autograph or anything like that though because he wasn't famous then. :( Bummer!
» Story of Nelson Aguilar
Well this happened about four years ago when I was working at McDonald's in Pasadena. I was taking orders in the drive thru when I recognized the person that was giving the order. At first I thought that it might be a friend because one usually recognizes a friend's voice. I had a feeling it was someone I knew though. Well when the car finally pulled up, it was a Navigator I think, I was preparing the food and so I kept glancing to see who it was. It struck me as odd because I thought it was just a normal guy. He was wearing a brown cap and looked like he had not shaved. Finally I recognized him as the one and only Jim Carrey. I felt like talking to him but I did not though. It was very exciting to see him in person and strange that he acted casually as any other customer. If any one wants to know, he had two Big and Tasty meals with no sauce with orange soda for one and the other I cannot remember.
» Story of Diane Filippeos
I have lived in Toronto most of my life, seeing I'm a big fan of comedy, I used to frequent a comedy club named "Yuk Yuks". Jim used to perform his impressions of celebrities. I loved to watch him as he became these people right before my eyes... Sammy Davis Jr., Jimmy Stewart, etc. He used to perform in a 3 piece suit. Even though this was many moons ago, I still remember telling people "if this kid doesn't go anywhere life is not fair"... Congrats to Jim... I knew you would make it!

My story takes place in Vermont. Jim Carrey was filming the railroad and a few other scenes behind the building where my Aunt works. I was visiting her at the time, and we got to watch them filming and rehearsing all of these scenes. It was so cool! We snuck in a video camera and we got some footage of the filming, plus a lot of shots of JimQ. But that wasn't the best part, later, one day, we were all invited outside to eat lunch with Jim and the rest of the cast and crew. All of us got to talk with and meet Jim! I could've died. He was so funny, and very nice. He's a lot more attractive in person too, may I add. I can't wait to meet him again! He let me get a few pictures with him, for reminders!
» Story of Barb Knittel
I was in La Jolla, California a couple weeks ago with my friend who is in fact in love with Jim Carrey. We were fighting about where to go to eat, it was either Moondoggies or the Hard Rock Cafe. We decided on Moondoggies because we had been there before and the food was really good. So we get to Moondoggies and we are seated a booth away from the door. After we are settled in and everything this guy walks in with a little girl. I looked and immediatly freaked out. I did this double take and yelled to my friend. "Ohmigosh Linds, that's Jim Carrey." Then to the people in the booth next to me, "Is that really Jim Carrey?" So Lindsey and I were blown away by the fact that he was seated in the booth across from us. He looked so casual, not what I expected. All through dinner Lindsey and I stared at him and every time we would make fools of ourselves because we would make eye contact with him. So basically it totally looked like we were watching him eat. Anyway after he was finished eating Lindsey wanted to go talk to him. But when it can around to that time Lindsey got way too nervous and begged me to go say something. So after a lot of pleading I got up the nerve to go. So I walked up to him and said, "Hi, I'm Barb and this is my friend Lindsey." I'm so glad that we had the nerve to initiate conversation with him, we talked to him for about five minutes and he gave us both autographs. It was definitely the highlight of my vacation!
» Story of Jill Mader
I was in Universal Studio's Hollywood and they have the tram tours that you can ride on and they go around to the different movie sets. Jim was on a brake from the movie "Man on the Moon." Our tour went by the old Bates Hotel from in the movie "Psycho" and out comes a guy in a dress and wig with a big knife. He hops on the back of the tram and rides along for a while. No one really noticed that he was there! And sure enough it was Jim Carrey! No one knew it was him though because all of the make-up he was wearing! But sure enough it was him!

» Story of Steven Sonoda
Well I met Jim and Renee at an ice skating party for the cast and crew of MMI. I was hired as the D.J. for the event. I talked to both of them, Jim asked if I could turn the lights up in the rink so he could see the ice. Renee requested some Red Hot Chili Peppers ("Scar Tissue") and "Back In Black" (AC/DC) dedicated to Jim. They were both very nice, my friend got a picture taken with Renee and we both got autographs (mine on a blank C.D. signed "Slow Ride!!! Jim Carrey") and also my check for my services was personally made out by Jim. It was a lot of fun and drama (paramedics came twice) let's just say alcohol and ice skating don't mix too well!!!!

I got to see Jim Carrey live and in person on the set of "Man on the Moon." He didn't have any attitude and cordially shook hands of extras during breaks in the filming. He even walked down into the audience and played the conga drums near the table I was sitting at. I'll never forget that day!

I didn't meet him but my friend who lives in California did. She was anorexic at the time (still is, it's sad). Any ways she went to her favorite restaurant with her folks for they wanted her to eat something. And at the time she was a big Jim Carrey fan. Well she spotted him and asked for it. Jim said "No, but I'll give it to you if you eat something!" He obviously overheard her parents talking to her about her problem. Well after that she said Jim made her eat every thing on her plate (which wasn't that much in the first place) then gave her the autograph.

I was once at Epcot Center with my family when I was about 15 years old. We were in the Japan section of the place and we went into one of the Japanese jewelry stores. I was wandering around the store on my own when I overheard a few people talking about Jim Carrey. I looked over at the people talking and saw them pointing towards the cash register. I then looked over myself and saw Jim Carrey standing there buying some jewelry. He was talking to one of the Japanese ladies and said something and she started laughing. He then signed something for her and quickly away before anybody could really say anything to him. I know I did not get to meet him, but at least I got to see him in person.
» Story of Paul Binkley
I went to Aldershot H.S. in Burlington Ont. Canada with Jim. Although he was not there for long he always made our lunch hours in the cafeteria a blast. He was always in a role just acting away as if in another world. It was incredible fun... a time I will never forget. :)
» Story of Ruby Payne
I was visiting Rhode Island last summer and was stopped by some man with a bright brown briefcase. And he gave me some kind of flier to be a extra on the set of Jim Carrey's movie where he played a State Trooper with multiple personalities. So the next day I went to the set and out of the corner of my eye, I saw Jim doing some kind of scene where he was to fall down a hill. He had short buzz cut and had on jeans and a brown jacket. But after each take he would say that he wanted to try another take. Finally when Jim announced that he was done and he sat down to take a break. I walked up to him and started a conversation about why he wanted to keep redoing this hill seen. And with this he answered that he wanted this scene to be completely perfect with every movement done the right way. Then I got an autograph from him without him even asking, right before the extras were called to the set. And so I said goodbye one last time thanked him and then left. This was one of the most memorable moments I have ever had.

They filmed the movie "Me, Myself & Irene" behind my house this summer in Narragansett, RI. I live on an island so the crew and everyone had to drive by my house everyday to get to the set. So I decided to do something crazy and get his attention. So I hung a huge sheet on my house that said "Jim Carrey will you marry me? Love Nikki!" Well I got everyone's attention and one day they stopped in front of my house and I got his autograph and a couple pictures of him far away. There was about 12 of us in my front yard when he stopped. He read my sign and then asked which one Nikki was - I said "Me." And he said "That's so sweet but I can't marry you because I have had my heart broken one too many times." I said "That's ok - can I at least have your autograph?" He was so nice and so funny. He is exactly as he is in the movies. He chatted with us for about 5-10 minutes and then had to leave. It was the best thing I have ever experienced. They beeped every time they went by from them on. They were only there for about a week - but it's a week I will never forget.
» Story of Debbie Hart
Well I met him once, wasn't properly introduced but still got to talk to him. I was fishing in Homer, Alaska... my friends and I decided to go on a camping trip and take a break from the big city of Anchorage. In the summer it is PACKED with tourists and very hard to find a place to fish. We call it here "combat fishing" because it's so tight! So I'm there casting lines out and there's a guy about 5 feet from me... he's whistling and saying "Nice day today" and "Almost got one" but I'm just ignoring him. Then I look over and think how he resembles Jim Carrey... he takes off his sunglasses and cap and sits on the bank and has a soda and I'm just staring at him with my mouth open wondering if I should ask and risk looking like an idiot. He had a big grin and I said "You know who you look like?" And he said "Ummmmm, let me guess... that dork Jim Carrey?" and I said "Oh, my God!"... he laughed and we got to talk for a little while... he even asked me for some fishing pointers then he left with his friends... I was freaking and told everyone by me after he left!
» Story of Candi Brinkman
I was working security for the "Me, Myself & Irene" filming in Middlebury, VT and had the pleasure of seeing some of the filming involving Jim Carrey. My 6 year old son was tickled when I brought him down on a day off and we got to sit down within 10 feet of Jim. On another day off, one of the directors (Peter) introduced myself and 3 other guards to Jim. We got to shake hands and formally meet him. Jim is a very nice man.
» Story of Sarah D.
On December 17th, for one of my best friend's 16th birthday bash, she took me and three of my other friends to NYC to spend the night and see the sights. At about 8:30 or so we decided that we were going to go ice skating at Rockefeller Center. We waited in line for an hour and a half before we could finally get in because some show had rented out the rink. When it was time to start to let people in to skate again, we were in the first 20 people on line. The guy let us down the stairs and we were waiting a little above the rink. Then a security guy comes up to us and he said "Girls, just to let you know, there are celebrities on the rink, and if you do anything stupid we will kick you off." We were so excited, and we started looking. My friend leaned over and said "Sarah, do you see that guy in the hat over there with that girl? I think that's Jim Carrey." Then he skated by us, looked us in the eye, and smiled. We were ice skating on the same ice with Jim Carrey for a bout an hour. He was with his girlfriend, but it wasn't until the end that we realized it was Renee Zellwegger. Towards the end when he skated off the ice, my friends and I kind of hung to the side of the rink where he had gotten off. The crowd above us started screaming "Jim, Jim!", and he took off his hat and waved to them. Then he started walking towards us, and he shook our hands and talked with us briefly. We took pictures of him and Renee together, and some kids got autographs. It was truly a great experience. They both were so incredibly nice. They were just like normal people, out on a date. I don't think I'll ever forget that night.

Well first of all I'm a big Jim Carrey fan as we all are... right? Anyways one day I was cruisin' in downtown Riverside in California, and Jim was at the Mission Inn (some historic museum like hotel) in the coffee shop. At first I thought it was someone that looked like him, but after a few seconds I had realized that it was Jim in fact. I walked up behind him and suggested he not order the cafe latte' because it causes stomach cramps. He turned around and laughed hysterically. Later we sat and talked over a cup of coffee. Jim is a real cool guy.

I was in East Brunswick New Jersey a couple of weeks ago, and I work at the McAntish Inn. I all the sudden saw Jim Carrey walk in and ask if there were any open rooms. My daughter went nuts and started crying. Jim got scared and left the hotel... That was my sighting, AND IT REALLY WAS HIM.
» Story of Natalie
I didn't "meet" him but Jim used to be a sea cadet in Ontario, Canada. Anyway I was one and there is always these meetings where all over southern Ontario we gather in the same old building every year. It's pretty neat to know Jim was there, there's pictures and everything. Everyone is really proud of him, and it's obvious why! I know some people that were friends with him, he's suppose to be a really great and funny guy!
» Story of Chester McFisticuffs
3 days ago [sent 99/12/30], I was going to the local 7-11 to pick up some Pringles and soda pop. While I was there, Jim Carrey came in and purchased a magazine and a couple of candy bars. I said "How ya doin'?" He said "Fine." "You like Snickers, I see." "Yeah, they're great," he answered. The weird thing was I had just seen "Man On The Moon" the night before! So while we were in the checkout line, I told him that, and he asked if me I liked it, and I told him I did. I asked him if he ever met REM and he said yes. I told him I thought REM seemed like nice fellows, and he said they were. I briefly thought to ask him about "The Grinch," but decided not to bother him anymore. He's taller than I thought.
» Story of Cassie Smith
I live in Kalamazoo, Michigan and one night I went to a grocery store called D & W Food Center, to pick up a few things to fix for dinner. I was just wandering around and went over by the produce section and I looked over and to my surprise there was Jim Carrey, I took a few more glances at him and then moved over a few feet away and acted shy. I looked back one more time and he turned his head and gave me one of his famous smiles. I just about passed out to tell you the truth! I smiled back and walked away, I guess I was kind of a chicken.

I was in the audience yesterday [sent 99/12/17] for The Letterman Show in NY. Dave had Jim on to plug "Man on the Moon." I don't know how many people saw this, but they did the interview and right at the end, Dave asks him if he has any big New Years plans. Jim says no not really, but I'll show you all what will happen… so he starts counting down, 10, 9, 8… the audience is all going along. I start laughing cause who knows what is going to happen.
When they get to the New Year, he starts by pulling confetti out of his pockets and throwing it in the air, then he blows one of those little horns. He then grabbed his coffee mug, and spewed water into the air all over Dave.
He then starts running into the audience and grabs a woman and starts making out with her, then he runs around some more and is high fiving people. He grabs some guy that was placed there, and starts to pretend to make out with him and starts kissing and humping him, etc. Then goes and jumps on some people. Then he runs out the door into the street and there is a hot dog vendor, he grabs the ketchup and mustard and shoots it all over the vendor (Naked Gun style), then he pushes the guys customer and punches him out and starts a fight. Then he grabs a bottle of champagne and pulls off the cork and shakes it so it explodes all over this crowd of people. Then he runs into the street and gets hit by a cab, falls on the hood, runs on top of the cab and rips off his shirt, on his chest in black ink in big letters, it says 2000 RULES!, then he turns around, and on his back it says "I'm Cold!". He does some wacky dance and runs back in and does some more crazy antics around Letterman's desk.
You had to see it to appreciate it. It was the funniest 2 minute bit I had ever seen. It was a fucking riot. Jim Carrey is a comic genius, and my hero!!

» Story of Anthony James Diaferio
I met Jim Carrey on the set of "Ace Ventura". My uncle Frank Addonis took me on the set to show me what he does for a living. I was only 9 years old and I had remembered him from my favorite show "In Living Color". I was sooo excited to meet him he gave me a picture and signed it to:
"My #1 fan Anthony
Spank you very much
Jim Carrey"
I thanked him and said "I hope one day I could be just like you". He did a fake sad voice and said "That's soo great," I started laughing. I have started acting since last year but my goal is to work with him one day. That guy is my biggest hero.
» Story of Jules Cassidy
Let me start off by saying I'm not a writer so I'll just give you the dialogue! A few friends and I were at a Tom Petty benefits concert held in AZ in March of this year [1999]. We were standing in the concessions line in the lobby before the concert when my friend said, "Hey -- it's Ace Ventura in front of us!" I noticed it WAS him (sortave incognito) & I felt like the Ace Ventura thing was offensive so I casually said, "Whutup, Mr. Jim!" After that he let out an adorable smile and said, "Yeh, Mr. Jim is right!" We stood in line and talked about how much we're all obsessed with Tom Petty until finally Jim reached the counter. In case anyone cares -- he ordered a nachos with jalapenos, a coke & a pickle. Later in the concert... I felt a tap on my shoulder so I turned around and it was Jim standing next to his 2 friends. I said, "Okay - I'm convinced you're stalking me!" And he said, "Ahh -- you got me!" We talked a little for the rest of the concert and when it was over we gave each other hugs g'bye and he told me we were the coolest group of fans he has ever met!!! Jim has beautiful eyes and a smile that lights up the whole room. He's definitely a cool guy and I'll never forget my "night with Jim"!
» Story of Sandi Denne
My 2 sisters, daughter and my husband and I met Jim at Walt Disney World at MGM Studios. My sister was getting a picture with him and I was the photographer. Well this is where the embarrassment came. You know when you have to wait for the little red light, well this took for ever. Then Jim started yelling out comments like "Does anybody teach 101 photography here?" Oh, it was so embarrassing. But it was great to see Jim Carrey and for him to even say anything at all to me. I know my sister didn't mind because she was sitting next to him smiling the whole time. This happened about 4 years ago in November.
» Story of Christine
My husband, Chris, and I have been fans of Mr. Carrey's since his "In Living Color" days and various "Improv" shows. Jim Carrey can make us laugh until we cry... or urinate! What an incredible human being! I just bought the latest issue of Vanity Fair with our beloved Jim Carrey as the "Coverboy". The insightful article about him inspired me to browse the Internet for news about his latest project, "Man on the Moon." Now I find myself here... sharing my story with other fans!
I had the honor and pleasure of meeting Jim Carrey while he was shooting on location in Rhode Island this past summer for "Me, Myself & Irene." I was working at the time as an outside sales rep. I was with a colleague of mine and we were just finishing up a day on the road on Block Island. At that time, The cast and crew of MMI told the press that they finished filming in RI and were on their way up to VT. I saw some of the filming earlier that week on Jamestown, however only caught the back of Jim Carrey's head. Then work commitments kept me and my husband from trying to observe further filming. My colleague knew I was a fan of Jim Carrey's and since we were driving by the filming area that day, he suggested we see the house where Mr. Carrey's character "lived" in the movie... He knew exactly where it was. As we slowly approached the road, we noticed a yellow police tape blocking the street. A police officer and only 3 other people were there(!!) Apparently, Jim Carrey and the MMI crew were STILL THERE! We chatted with the officer, and a minute later, he got a call on his walkie talkie to signal that Jim Carrey and some of the crew will be leaving and driving through!!! I grabbed my legal pad and all the pens I "borrowed" from my colleague throughout the day... and we jumped out of the car, hoping to catch a glimpse of my favorite actor.
The other JC fans waiting there told me he will be in the black truck. The convoy pulled up to the corner and THERE HE WAS! He rolled down the window to wave at us... and my colleague (bless his heart...) yelled... "Jim!! Can you sign some autographs?!!" Jim Carrey appeared to ask his driver to stop they did! I was the first one to approach him... I was so nervous! He had a big smile on his face... I said hello and told him I am a HUGE fan... I gave him my legal pad and asked him to make it out to "Chris and Christine". He started to write... but to my horror, my pen was out of ink! He actually waited while I hastily tried to find another pen in my pockets! Thankfully, I found another pen and I got his autograph! What a guy! He had about 3 carloads of people waiting for him to finish (they were obviously pressed for time) and the sun was setting. He did not have time to give the other folks an autograph... but he greeted and shook hands with everyone and waved Good Bye and then drove of into the sunset... he didn't say much... but he was very gracious! And polite! (And very handsome!) The whole episode lasted only a few minutes... but my happy memory of meeting the most talented, funniest actor in the world, Jim Carrey, will last a lifetime! Thank you, Jim! Thank you for bringing happiness to so many people!

Sorry folks, I met him when I was seven (a LONG time ago *ahem*) and I doubt I'll ever meet him again! But, when I was but a wee lass my brother used to hang out with Jim. My father had recently passed away and I was NOT a happy kid. Jim used to make me laugh, no small task in those days! Even as a teenager, he worked his tush off just to get a laugh. Ever since I have watched his star rise and am very happy for him. Recent stories of his personal problems upset me... he's been my "Laugh Resort" since I was seven years old and I only hope that he can be happy too! Laugh and be loved because the World laughs and luvs ya Mr. Carrey!

I didn't realize it but, for about thirty minutes I was sitting in JIM'S chair.

I apologize, but my story is a bit different from the others. I approached Jim at a restaurant he was eating at in Birmingham, and knowing the funny kind of guy he is, I playfully stuck my finger in his food. It was then he jumped up and began quietly chewing me out (I guess not to make a scene) and said he was a little disappointed in me. I apologized, and so did he.
» Story of Jason Henley
Years ago, when Jim (can I call him Jim?) was on "Duck Factory" I saw him doing a stand-up set at a Yuk's Yuk's comedy place up here in Niagara Falls.
After he was finished I went up to him, recognizing him from T.V., and asked him for his autograph. He seemed so thrilled to be giving his autograph to a kid that it made me think about how cool it was to see a celebrity not acting like a celebrity. I've been a fan ever since.

I'm so glad that we had the nerve to initiate conversation with him, we talked to him for about five minutes and he gave us both autographs. It was definitely the highlight of my vacation!

I was in Universal Studio's Hollywood and they have the tram tours that you can ride on and they go around to the different movie sets. Jim was on a brake from the movie "Man on the Moon." Our tour went by the old Bates Hotel from in the movie "Psycho" and out comes a guy in a dress and wig with a big knife. He hops on the back of the tram and rides along for a while. No one really noticed that he was there! And sure enough it was Jim Carrey! No one knew it was him though because all of the make-up he was wearing! But sure enough it was him!

Well I met Jim and Renee at an ice skating party for the cast and crew of MMI. I was hired as the D.J. for the event. I talked to both of them, Jim asked if I could turn the lights up in the rink so he could see the ice. Renee requested some Red Hot Chili Peppers ("Scar Tissue") and "Back In Black" (AC/DC) dedicated to Jim. They were both very nice, my friend got a picture taken with Renee and we both got autographs (mine on a blank C.D. signed "Slow Ride!!! Jim Carrey") and also my check for my services was personally made out by Jim. It was a lot of fun and drama (paramedics came twice) let's just say alcohol and ice skating don't mix too well!!!!

I got to see Jim Carrey live and in person on the set of "Man on the Moon." He didn't have any attitude and cordially shook hands of extras during breaks in the filming. He even walked down into the audience and played the conga drums near the table I was sitting at. I'll never forget that day!

I didn't meet him but my friend who lives in California did. She was anorexic at the time (still is, it's sad). Any ways she went to her favorite restaurant with her folks for they wanted her to eat something. And at the time she was a big Jim Carrey fan. Well she spotted him and asked for it. Jim said "No, but I'll give it to you if you eat something!" He obviously overheard her parents talking to her about her problem. Well after that she said Jim made her eat every thing on her plate (which wasn't that much in the first place) then gave her the autograph.

I was once at Epcot Center with my family when I was about 15 years old. We were in the Japan section of the place and we went into one of the Japanese jewelry stores. I was wandering around the store on my own when I overheard a few people talking about Jim Carrey. I looked over at the people talking and saw them pointing towards the cash register. I then looked over myself and saw Jim Carrey standing there buying some jewelry. He was talking to one of the Japanese ladies and said something and she started laughing. He then signed something for her and quickly away before anybody could really say anything to him. I know I did not get to meet him, but at least I got to see him in person.

I went to Aldershot H.S. in Burlington Ont. Canada with Jim. Although he was not there for long he always made our lunch hours in the cafeteria a blast. He was always in a role just acting away as if in another world. It was incredible fun... a time I will never forget. :)
» Story of Ruby Payne
I was visiting Rhode Island last summer and was stopped by some man with a bright brown briefcase. And he gave me some kind of flier to be a extra on the set of Jim Carrey's movie where he played a State Trooper with multiple personalities. So the next day I went to the set and out of the corner of my eye, I saw Jim doing some kind of scene where he was to fall down a hill. He had short buzz cut and had on jeans and a brown jacket. But after each take he would say that he wanted to try another take. Finally when Jim announced that he was done and he sat down to take a break. I walked up to him and started a conversation about why he wanted to keep redoing this hill seen. And with this he answered that he wanted this scene to be completely perfect with every movement done the right way. Then I got an autograph from him without him even asking, right before the extras were called to the set. And so I said goodbye one last time thanked him and then left. This was one of the most memorable moments I have ever had.

They filmed the movie "Me, Myself & Irene" behind my house this summer in Narragansett, RI. I live on an island so the crew and everyone had to drive by my house everyday to get to the set. So I decided to do something crazy and get his attention. So I hung a huge sheet on my house that said "Jim Carrey will you marry me? Love Nikki!" Well I got everyone's attention and one day they stopped in front of my house and I got his autograph and a couple pictures of him far away. There was about 12 of us in my front yard when he stopped. He read my sign and then asked which one Nikki was - I said "Me." And he said "That's so sweet but I can't marry you because I have had my heart broken one too many times." I said "That's ok - can I at least have your autograph?" He was so nice and so funny. He is exactly as he is in the movies. He chatted with us for about 5-10 minutes and then had to leave. It was the best thing I have ever experienced. They beeped every time they went by from them on. They were only there for about a week - but it's a week I will never forget.

Well I met him once, wasn't properly introduced but still got to talk to him. I was fishing in Homer, Alaska... my friends and I decided to go on a camping trip and take a break from the big city of Anchorage. In the summer it is PACKED with tourists and very hard to find a place to fish. We call it here "combat fishing" because it's so tight! So I'm there casting lines out and there's a guy about 5 feet from me... he's whistling and saying "Nice day today" and "Almost got one" but I'm just ignoring him. Then I look over and think how he resembles Jim Carrey... he takes off his sunglasses and cap and sits on the bank and has a soda and I'm just staring at him with my mouth open wondering if I should ask and risk looking like an idiot. He had a big grin and I said "You know who you look like?" And he said "Ummmmm, let me guess... that dork Jim Carrey?" and I said "Oh, my God!"... he laughed and we got to talk for a little while... he even asked me for some fishing pointers then he left with his friends... I was freaking and told everyone by me after he left!

I was working security for the "Me, Myself & Irene" filming in Middlebury, VT and had the pleasure of seeing some of the filming involving Jim Carrey. My 6 year old son was tickled when I brought him down on a day off and we got to sit down within 10 feet of Jim. On another day off, one of the directors (Peter) introduced myself and 3 other guards to Jim. We got to shake hands and formally meet him. Jim is a very nice man.
» Story of Sarah D.
On December 17th, for one of my best friend's 16th birthday bash, she took me and three of my other friends to NYC to spend the night and see the sights. At about 8:30 or so we decided that we were going to go ice skating at Rockefeller Center. We waited in line for an hour and a half before we could finally get in because some show had rented out the rink. When it was time to start to let people in to skate again, we were in the first 20 people on line. The guy let us down the stairs and we were waiting a little above the rink. Then a security guy comes up to us and he said "Girls, just to let you know, there are celebrities on the rink, and if you do anything stupid we will kick you off." We were so excited, and we started looking. My friend leaned over and said "Sarah, do you see that guy in the hat over there with that girl? I think that's Jim Carrey." Then he skated by us, looked us in the eye, and smiled. We were ice skating on the same ice with Jim Carrey for a bout an hour. He was with his girlfriend, but it wasn't until the end that we realized it was Renee Zellwegger. Towards the end when he skated off the ice, my friends and I kind of hung to the side of the rink where he had gotten off. The crowd above us started screaming "Jim, Jim!", and he took off his hat and waved to them. Then he started walking towards us, and he shook our hands and talked with us briefly. We took pictures of him and Renee together, and some kids got autographs. It was truly a great experience. They both were so incredibly nice. They were just like normal people, out on a date. I don't think I'll ever forget that night.

Well first of all I'm a big Jim Carrey fan as we all are... right? Anyways one day I was cruisin' in downtown Riverside in California, and Jim was at the Mission Inn (some historic museum like hotel) in the coffee shop. At first I thought it was someone that looked like him, but after a few seconds I had realized that it was Jim in fact. I walked up behind him and suggested he not order the cafe latte' because it causes stomach cramps. He turned around and laughed hysterically. Later we sat and talked over a cup of coffee. Jim is a real cool guy.

I was in East Brunswick New Jersey a couple of weeks ago, and I work at the McAntish Inn. I all the sudden saw Jim Carrey walk in and ask if there were any open rooms. My daughter went nuts and started crying. Jim got scared and left the hotel... That was my sighting, AND IT REALLY WAS HIM.

I didn't "meet" him but Jim used to be a sea cadet in Ontario, Canada. Anyway I was one and there is always these meetings where all over southern Ontario we gather in the same old building every year. It's pretty neat to know Jim was there, there's pictures and everything. Everyone is really proud of him, and it's obvious why! I know some people that were friends with him, he's suppose to be a really great and funny guy!

3 days ago [sent 99/12/30], I was going to the local 7-11 to pick up some Pringles and soda pop. While I was there, Jim Carrey came in and purchased a magazine and a couple of candy bars. I said "How ya doin'?" He said "Fine." "You like Snickers, I see." "Yeah, they're great," he answered. The weird thing was I had just seen "Man On The Moon" the night before! So while we were in the checkout line, I told him that, and he asked if me I liked it, and I told him I did. I asked him if he ever met REM and he said yes. I told him I thought REM seemed like nice fellows, and he said they were. I briefly thought to ask him about "The Grinch," but decided not to bother him anymore. He's taller than I thought.

I live in Kalamazoo, Michigan and one night I went to a grocery store called D & W Food Center, to pick up a few things to fix for dinner. I was just wandering around and went over by the produce section and I looked over and to my surprise there was Jim Carrey, I took a few more glances at him and then moved over a few feet away and acted shy. I looked back one more time and he turned his head and gave me one of his famous smiles. I just about passed out to tell you the truth! I smiled back and walked away, I guess I was kind of a chicken.

I was in the audience yesterday [sent 99/12/17] for The Letterman Show in NY. Dave had Jim on to plug "Man on the Moon." I don't know how many people saw this, but they did the interview and right at the end, Dave asks him if he has any big New Years plans. Jim says no not really, but I'll show you all what will happen… so he starts counting down, 10, 9, 8… the audience is all going along. I start laughing cause who knows what is going to happen.
When they get to the New Year, he starts by pulling confetti out of his pockets and throwing it in the air, then he blows one of those little horns. He then grabbed his coffee mug, and spewed water into the air all over Dave.
He then starts running into the audience and grabs a woman and starts making out with her, then he runs around some more and is high fiving people. He grabs some guy that was placed there, and starts to pretend to make out with him and starts kissing and humping him, etc. Then goes and jumps on some people. Then he runs out the door into the street and there is a hot dog vendor, he grabs the ketchup and mustard and shoots it all over the vendor (Naked Gun style), then he pushes the guys customer and punches him out and starts a fight. Then he grabs a bottle of champagne and pulls off the cork and shakes it so it explodes all over this crowd of people. Then he runs into the street and gets hit by a cab, falls on the hood, runs on top of the cab and rips off his shirt, on his chest in black ink in big letters, it says 2000 RULES!, then he turns around, and on his back it says "I'm Cold!". He does some wacky dance and runs back in and does some more crazy antics around Letterman's desk.
You had to see it to appreciate it. It was the funniest 2 minute bit I had ever seen. It was a fucking riot. Jim Carrey is a comic genius, and my hero!!

I met Jim Carrey on the set of "Ace Ventura". My uncle Frank Addonis took me on the set to show me what he does for a living. I was only 9 years old and I had remembered him from my favorite show "In Living Color". I was sooo excited to meet him he gave me a picture and signed it to:
"My #1 fan Anthony
Spank you very much
Jim Carrey"
I thanked him and said "I hope one day I could be just like you". He did a fake sad voice and said "That's soo great," I started laughing. I have started acting since last year but my goal is to work with him one day. That guy is my biggest hero.

Let me start off by saying I'm not a writer so I'll just give you the dialogue! A few friends and I were at a Tom Petty benefits concert held in AZ in March of this year [1999]. We were standing in the concessions line in the lobby before the concert when my friend said, "Hey -- it's Ace Ventura in front of us!" I noticed it WAS him (sortave incognito) & I felt like the Ace Ventura thing was offensive so I casually said, "Whutup, Mr. Jim!" After that he let out an adorable smile and said, "Yeh, Mr. Jim is right!" We stood in line and talked about how much we're all obsessed with Tom Petty until finally Jim reached the counter. In case anyone cares -- he ordered a nachos with jalapenos, a coke & a pickle. Later in the concert... I felt a tap on my shoulder so I turned around and it was Jim standing next to his 2 friends. I said, "Okay - I'm convinced you're stalking me!" And he said, "Ahh -- you got me!" We talked a little for the rest of the concert and when it was over we gave each other hugs g'bye and he told me we were the coolest group of fans he has ever met!!! Jim has beautiful eyes and a smile that lights up the whole room. He's definitely a cool guy and I'll never forget my "night with Jim"!
» Story of Sandi Denne
My 2 sisters, daughter and my husband and I met Jim at Walt Disney World at MGM Studios. My sister was getting a picture with him and I was the photographer. Well this is where the embarrassment came. You know when you have to wait for the little red light, well this took for ever. Then Jim started yelling out comments like "Does anybody teach 101 photography here?" Oh, it was so embarrassing. But it was great to see Jim Carrey and for him to even say anything at all to me. I know my sister didn't mind because she was sitting next to him smiling the whole time. This happened about 4 years ago in November.
» Story of Christine
My husband, Chris, and I have been fans of Mr. Carrey's since his "In Living Color" days and various "Improv" shows. Jim Carrey can make us laugh until we cry... or urinate! What an incredible human being! I just bought the latest issue of Vanity Fair with our beloved Jim Carrey as the "Coverboy". The insightful article about him inspired me to browse the Internet for news about his latest project, "Man on the Moon." Now I find myself here... sharing my story with other fans!
I had the honor and pleasure of meeting Jim Carrey while he was shooting on location in Rhode Island this past summer for "Me, Myself & Irene." I was working at the time as an outside sales rep. I was with a colleague of mine and we were just finishing up a day on the road on Block Island. At that time, The cast and crew of MMI told the press that they finished filming in RI and were on their way up to VT. I saw some of the filming earlier that week on Jamestown, however only caught the back of Jim Carrey's head. Then work commitments kept me and my husband from trying to observe further filming. My colleague knew I was a fan of Jim Carrey's and since we were driving by the filming area that day, he suggested we see the house where Mr. Carrey's character "lived" in the movie... He knew exactly where it was. As we slowly approached the road, we noticed a yellow police tape blocking the street. A police officer and only 3 other people were there(!!) Apparently, Jim Carrey and the MMI crew were STILL THERE! We chatted with the officer, and a minute later, he got a call on his walkie talkie to signal that Jim Carrey and some of the crew will be leaving and driving through!!! I grabbed my legal pad and all the pens I "borrowed" from my colleague throughout the day... and we jumped out of the car, hoping to catch a glimpse of my favorite actor.
The other JC fans waiting there told me he will be in the black truck. The convoy pulled up to the corner and THERE HE WAS! He rolled down the window to wave at us... and my colleague (bless his heart...) yelled... "Jim!! Can you sign some autographs?!!" Jim Carrey appeared to ask his driver to stop they did! I was the first one to approach him... I was so nervous! He had a big smile on his face... I said hello and told him I am a HUGE fan... I gave him my legal pad and asked him to make it out to "Chris and Christine". He started to write... but to my horror, my pen was out of ink! He actually waited while I hastily tried to find another pen in my pockets! Thankfully, I found another pen and I got his autograph! What a guy! He had about 3 carloads of people waiting for him to finish (they were obviously pressed for time) and the sun was setting. He did not have time to give the other folks an autograph... but he greeted and shook hands with everyone and waved Good Bye and then drove of into the sunset... he didn't say much... but he was very gracious! And polite! (And very handsome!) The whole episode lasted only a few minutes... but my happy memory of meeting the most talented, funniest actor in the world, Jim Carrey, will last a lifetime! Thank you, Jim! Thank you for bringing happiness to so many people!

Sorry folks, I met him when I was seven (a LONG time ago *ahem*) and I doubt I'll ever meet him again! But, when I was but a wee lass my brother used to hang out with Jim. My father had recently passed away and I was NOT a happy kid. Jim used to make me laugh, no small task in those days! Even as a teenager, he worked his tush off just to get a laugh. Ever since I have watched his star rise and am very happy for him. Recent stories of his personal problems upset me... he's been my "Laugh Resort" since I was seven years old and I only hope that he can be happy too! Laugh and be loved because the World laughs and luvs ya Mr. Carrey!

Three summers ago my cousin called me, he lives in Destin, FL, about 30 miles from Seaside (where "The Truman Show" was filmed), his dad owns a personal fitness gym in Seaside he was going to be keeping the crew and yes even the "man" himself. So my uncle got me and my cousin a part as extras in the movie. We got to meet and have long talks with Laura Linney. We became pretty good friends with her and on the last day when they got finished filming the scene of Truman running from the town and the nuclear plant workers stopped him, he came over and spoke to us. I didn't realize it but, for about thirty minutes I was sitting in JIM'S chair.

I apologize, but my story is a bit different from the others. I approached Jim at a restaurant he was eating at in Birmingham, and knowing the funny kind of guy he is, I playfully stuck my finger in his food. It was then he jumped up and began quietly chewing me out (I guess not to make a scene) and said he was a little disappointed in me. I apologized, and so did he.
» Story of Jason Henley
Years ago, when Jim (can I call him Jim?) was on "Duck Factory" I saw him doing a stand-up set at a Yuk's Yuk's comedy place up here in Niagara Falls.
After he was finished I went up to him, recognizing him from T.V., and asked him for his autograph. He seemed so thrilled to be giving his autograph to a kid that it made me think about how cool it was to see a celebrity not acting like a celebrity. I've been a fan ever since.
