Jim Carrey’s attendance at last month’s award show, known as the French Oscars, sparked bizarre conspiracy theories online.

Netizens fixated on his fuller, smoother, and seemingly swollen face, saying he looked “unrecognizable.”

The rumor mill also claimed the actor, who accepted the Honorary César award for his decades-long work on the big screen, was not even Carrey but an impersonator.

“This is 100% NOT HIM!” one netizen fumed, while others claimed his eye color, stature, posture, and even height were not the same.

Wild rumors even claimed it was a clone who accepted the award and delivered an entire speech in French to the audience.

In light of the conspiracy theories, the Truman Show star was reportedly upset by the cruel rumors about a clone attending the show in his place.

“Jim is sad,” an insider told the Daily Mail. “Not because people are questioning or making fun of his appearance, he’s not worried about that at all.

“Rather, he is sad that people are stupid,” they added.

The insider said the iconic funnyman is living in a world where people believe a “64-year-old man is now apparently a clone.”

The Hollywood veteran “has been turned into a conspiracy theory, and he finds it frustrating that people actually believe he isn’t the real Jim Carrey,” they continued.

The source claimed that the Dumb and Dumber actor wasn’t “taking the situation lightly,” even though it may “seem like the type of rumors to brush off as pure fantasy.”

“For Jim, this is something he should laugh about, but stupidity like this is a not a laughing matter,” the source added.

It was in October when the French Academy announced that Carrey was this year’s Honorary César Award winner for his “exceptional versatility” in front of the camera.

“He hates that people aren’t talking about what is actually important,” the source said. “He finds himself shaking his head constantly, and just finds the entire thing a sad situation.”

After theories about a clone attending the award show circulated, drag artist Alexis Stone added fuel to the fire by sharing a social media post suggesting he impersonated The Mask star at the awards.

“Alexis Stone as Jim Carrey in Paris,” wrote the makeup artist, best known for transforming himself into various celebrities.

Plastic surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Spiegel also made claims about Carrey possibly undergoing cosmetic surgery to alter his appearance.

“These treatments are amazing when done correctly but his injector gave him Botox more suitable for a woman’s face leading to oddly arched eyebrows,” he told the Daily Mail.

The surgeon claimed the actor had may have had a “poorly done facelift” and also had an “unnatural pull in his cheek,” possibly caused by “threading.”

Carrey’s attendance at the Paris award show marked his return to the public eye after he inducted Soundgarden into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in November 2025.

The Yes Man actor has largely stayed out of the spotlight in recent years and told Access Hollywood in 2022 that he was “fairly serious” about retiring from showbiz.

He reprised his role as villain Dr. Robotnik in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and even attended the threequel’s UK premiere.

Sources previously claimed the actor had been “joking” about money problems when he sold his LA home last year and began living in a waterfront property in Maui.

Carrey also spoke about living an “isolated” life in the past.

“I spend a lot of time by myself but I like being by myself, so it’s OK,” he reportedly said in 2018. “That might be strange to some people, but I enjoy it.”

The raging theories about Carrey’s attendance at the César Awards forced Gregory Caulier, the general delegate of the French award show, to confirm that the actor was “extremely touched by the Academy’s invitation” and had been planning his visit for a while.

It took “eight months of ongoing, constructive discussions,” Caulier told Variety.

“He worked on his speech in French for months, asking me about the exact pronunciation of certain words,” he said.

Caulier noted that the comedian traveled to the award show with his partner, his daughter, his grandson, his longtime publicist, 12 close friends, and family members.

While addressing the actor’s physical appearance, Caulier said it’s a “non-issue” for him.

“Just remember his generosity, his kindness, his benevolence, his elegance,” he added.

A representative for the Bruce Almighty star also shared a statement on March 2 and said, “Jim Carrey attended the César Awards, where he accepted his Honorary César Award.”

“We’re in the Great Dumbification of Western Civilization,” one commented online
