Jim Carrey reveals role that was 'like torture' but he'd like to play again
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Jim Carrey has revealed his desire to revisit a beloved character "one more time". The comedian, known for a huge variety of memorable roles ranging from the everyman Truman Burbank in The Truman Show to the darkly intriguing lead in The Cable Guy, has a particular part that resonates with him. At 62, Jim, who had previously hinted at retirement, decided to step back into the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Jim returned as Doctor Robotnik in the third film based on SEGA's iconic video game character, despite having indicated that his involvement in the sequel would be his final role. The star, celebrated for performances in hits like Yes Man, Bruce Almighty, and Liar Liar, has now divulged which character he's keen to play again. In a recent chat, Jim was asked "Is there any one character that you'd love an opportunity to play one more time?" Jim seemed momentarily taken aback, uttering "gosh," before revealing his choice, reports the Mirror US. (Image: PA) Admirers of the festive favourite 'The Grinch' will be thrilled, as Carrey seems open to donning the green suit again. He said: "If we could figure out The Grinch. That'd be difficult." While crafting a follow-up to Ron Howard's yuletide blockbuster might pose challenges, the interviewer humorously suggested that someone would "try and figure it out now". Jim added: "You know, the thing about it is, is that on the day I had to do that with a ton of makeup and I could hardly breathe and I went, you know, it was an extremely excruciating process. The children were in my mind all the time. 'It's for the kids, for the kids, the kids.' "And now with motion capture and things like that, I could be free to do some other things. But, you know, anything's possible in this world. Anything's possible." Jim has talked openly about his difficulties portraying The Grinch, admitting in past interviews that he underwent CIA training to endure breathing in the costume. He even considered walking away from the 2003 film until Oscar-winning producer Brian Grazer intervened. Brian introduced Jim, who felt as though he was "buried alive" in the suit, to a CIA contact. On his first day, Jim revealed that getting into the suit took "eight-and-a-half hours" after which he returned to his trailer and "put [his] leg through the wall" in frustration. (Image: Liverpool Echo) In his book A Curious Mind: The Secret to a Bigger Life, Grazer recounts, "One of the CIA people I'd talked to years before specialized in training US agents to survive torture if they were captured. We had an actor being held prisoner by his costume - he was being tortured by his makeup." In an interview with chat show presenter Graham Norton, Jim Carrey spoke candidly about his daunting experience while filming The Grinch. He revealed that a mix of breathing exercises and a smoking habit saw him through the challenging shoot. Jim admitted: "If you're freaking out and spiralling downward, turn the television on, change a pattern, or have someone you know come up and smack you in the head, punch yourself in the leg, or smoke - smoke as much as you possibly can." His methods clearly paid off, as the film is now considered a timeless favourite, and fans are eager to see if he might don the Grinch's costume once more.

Brits are more likely to say 'yes' to new things at this age
Brits are more likely to say 'yes' to new things at this age A study of 2,000 adults found a large percentage of the population feel more likely to say 'yes' to new things now than they did 20 years ago A poll of 2,000 adults found the average adult typically turns something down as often as twice a week. Seven in ten admit they 'play it safe' in life, but four in ten are determined to say 'yes' more often, while others hope to be less 'afraid' of taking on new challenges in the future. It emerged a quarter of over 35s feel they are more likely to say yes to opportunities now, than they did 20 years ago. Of those who felt the opposite, being settled into a routine was considered the biggest barrier, while others blamed life being more complicated now, being too tired and wanting to plan things in advance. The study was commissioned by Halfords, which is partnering with 'Yes Man', Danny Wallace, to highlight the positive benefits of being open to new experiences this summer. 'Yes Man' author Danny Wallace celebrates the 20th anniversary of hit book (Image: PinPep ) Danny Wallace said: "Twenty years ago I decided to say 'yes' to whatever came my way... and it led to the best adventures. I went places I would never have gone and I met people I'd never have met. I tried new things and made new memories." Article continues below "When Halfords asked me to celebrate twenty years by hopping in a car and trying more new stuff, it would have been weird to say no," he added. "Even though when they asked me if I'd like 'to go sea kayaking', I thought they meant they were just going to take me to 'see kayaking', which would have been a lot easier. "That said, saying yes more is something we should all try and build into our days. Yes to something different or new. I wholeheartedly support you doing the same this summer." Danny braves the summer weather to accept Halford's challenge to say 'yes' to every opportunity The study revealed the top things Brits would like to try for the first time, with mastering a foreign language topping the list. Followed by skydiving, learning a musical instrument and moving abroad. It also found 27 per cent have been told by others that they should say yes more often. But 62 per cent reckon they'd be much more inclined to try something new if they were able to prepare for it in advance. Paul Ray, from Halfords, which is encouraging people to give their car a 'Free 5 Point Summer Check' to ensure it's ready for adventure, said: "Saying 'yes' more often can open doors you didn't even know existed. "Whether it's trying something new, meeting someone unexpected, or stepping slightly out of your comfort zone, those small yeses can add up to big life shifts. "Don't let worrying about the car be the reason you say 'no' to a last-minute trip to the beach or a spontaneous camping weekend."
