Jim Carrey has one condition for returning as the Grinch

“How the Grinch Stole Christmas” is one of the greatest Christmas movies of all timeso fans will be happy to know that its main star is open to returning to this universe. The film is an adaptation of the classic Dr. Seuss book of the same name, with Jim Carrey playing a holiday-hating green monster who befriends a young girl and eventually finds his festive spirit. Despite being a great Christmas movie, the film has had problems behind the scenes and Carrey has been vocal about his dislike of the experience. However, the actor is open to playing the Grinch again, but he has one condition.

In an interview with ComicBook.comCarrey admitted that How the Grinch Stole Christmas was not a fun movie. However, movie technology has advanced since 2000, so he might consider reprising the role if the Grinch is created digitally this time. In his own words:

“The thing about that day is that I’m doing it with so much make-up I can hardly breathe. It was a very painful process. The kids were on my mind the whole time. “It’s for the kids. “It’s for the kids. It’s for the kids. And now, with motion capture technology and things like that, I can be free to do other things. Anything is possible in this world.”

Some fans may be shocked to learn that Carrey is open to reprising the character. After all, making the first film was real torture for him, and it also had a negative impact on some of his colleagues.

Jim Carrey hated dressing up as The Grinch. The process required him to sit in a makeup chair for hours, which, as you can imagine, was extremely uncomfortable. In fact, Curry has previously likened the experience to being buried alive, and admitted that a member of the CIA was recruited to teach him how to deal with torture. With that in mind, it’s understandable why the actor would only return to the role if the anti-Christmas creature was digitally recreated.

“How the Grinch Stole Christmas” also forced makeup artist Kazuhiro Tsuji into therapy. The Oscar-winning maestro claimed that Carrey’s behavior during filming was terrible at the time, and had a negative impact on his mental health. Carrey apologized to the make-up artist during the film’s production, but the experience clearly had an impact on Tsuji.

Carrey himself just came out of retirement for “Sonic the Hedgehog 3,” And his comments about playing The Grinch again suggest that he wasn’t exactly serious about saying goodbye to Hollywood in the first place. Whatever the case may be, it remains to be seen whether he’ll get the chance to play the uninteresting green monster again. If he does, let’s hope it’s a more positive experience.
