Jim Carrey Wants to Play the Grinch Again but Only via Motion Capture; the Makeup Transformation Was ‘Extremely Excruciating’: I Could ‘Hardly Breathe’
Jim Carrey was recently asked by ComicBook.com if there was one character from his beloved movie career that he’d love the opportunity to play again. His answer? The Grinch, but only if he did it via motion capture. The comedian is not interested in being in the makeup chair for hours undergoing an “excruciating” transformation.
“Oh, gosh, you know, if we could figure out the Grinch,” Carrey said. “The thing about it is, on the day, I do that with a ton of makeup and can hardly breathe. It was an extremely excruciating process. The children were in my mind all the time. ‘It’s for the kids. It’s for the kids. It’s for the kids.’ And now, with motion capture and things like that, I could be free to do other things. Anything is possible in this world.”
