The 51st César Awards ceremony, presented by the Académie des Arts et Techniques du Cinéma, was held on Thursday evening at the Olympia in Paris to honor the best French films of 2025.
In attendance was legendary actor and comedian Jim Carrey, who received the Honorary César Award for his contributions to the film industry. He also delivered a memorable acceptance speech entirely in French, and paid tribute to his family and late father.
"As an actor, each character you play is like clay in the sculptor’s hands, which you shape to your heart’s desire," the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind star said. "How fortunate I have been to share this art with so many people who have truly opened their hearts to me."

But the 64-year-old entertainer is not going viral for the honor; rather, many are making comments about his unrecognizable look and how his voice sounds different. Carrey stepped out wearing an all-black tuxedo set, and his hair was dyed black and grown out all the way down to his shoulders. While the actor has largely stayed out of the spotlight in recent years, new photos of his latest appearance quickly began circulating online — and social media users had plenty to say.
From claims that he looked “unrecognizable” to others insisting, “That’s not Jim Carrey,” the reactions poured in.
"That definitely isn't Jim Carrey," one X user commented.
"Who is this? Because it is definitely not Jim Carrey. The eyes aren’t even the same color," someone pointed out. The actor has brown eyes, but in the Vanity Fair France interview clip that the user also reposted, Carrey is seen with hazel/green eyes.
"Apparently, this is Jim Carrey at the French film awards," another said. "This is some Truman show stuff."
"He really changed a lot ? yall think it’s him?" a user asked, who also posted an older picture of Carrey side-by-side a photo taken of the actor on Thursday.
Another user commented, "Ok this Jim Carrey thing is freaking me out."
"Who is that. Thats not jim Carrey. It doesn't even sound like him. Is this a joke," another fan pointed out.
