Jim Carrey On Worrying if Heavy Makeup Would Hamper His Performance
Interview: Weren’t you afraid that all that make-up would harm you?
Jim Carrey: No I was afraid that I would harm someone else in that make-up. It – it was very uncomfortable but – but uh you know I wasn’t afraid of that, I was just afraid of uh, you know, being able to concentrate. 18:03:27 You know, and being able to focus. And fortunately we’re part of something that’s so special that that kind of outweighs everything and you know you just keep that in your mind. 18:03:36 Like “wow” this is going to be something really – really cool and something that’s really, a character that really important to people. I mean he’s become as almost as important as Santa Claus to Christmas, you know, he’s the anti-Claus, you know.
Interviewer: Well Buddy Epson got really sick when they tested him for Wizard of Oz. Jim: Yeah, he almost died.
