Legendary Hollywood comedic actor Jim CARRY (64) stunned fans worldwide by simultaneously announcing a dazzling comeback and revealing shocking recent news. The Daily Mail on the 4th (local time) looked back at his tumultuous life to explain why the once highest-paid star on Earth came to be called a "tragic star."

- "Is that the mask I knew?"..a "strange face" spotted at the César Awards

Jim CARRY, who appeared on the red carpet at the 51st César Awards in Paris, France, received an honorary César and reaffirmed his standing. But fans' attention was focused more on his "face" than the trophy.

Instead of his once sharp, mischievous expressions, he appeared with a somewhat swollen and unnatural face, leading to online suspicions of plastic surgery side effects. Fans' worried reactions such as "I can't recognize him at all" poured in, but on stage he boldly confessed his passionate love for his new partner "Min Ah (Min Ah)" and carried himself confidently.

- the tragic death of an ex-girlfriend, and the indelible "STD" scandal

A decisive turning point in Jim CARRY's career decline began with the 2015 suicide of his ex-girlfriend Katrina White. Katrina's suicide note contained shocking details about Jim CARRY's true nature. In her note she claimed, "You taught me drugs, prostitution and sexually transmitted diseases and completely destroyed who I am," causing a major uproar in Hollywood.

Afterward, Katrina's family filed a lawsuit alleging that Jim CARRY provided her with drugs he obtained under a false name, accusing him of 'illegal death.' Although Jim CARRY's side found evidence of manipulation of Katrina's STD test results and legally proved his innocence, public opinion had turned cold. The ugly battle over the truth hidden behind Ace Ventura's mischievous smile left an indelible stain on him.

- controversy over a forced kiss amounting to child sexual assault..cornered by past scandals

Past inappropriate behavior also held him back. At the 1997 MTV Movie Awards, Jim CARRY, appearing as a presenter, grabbed the head of 20-year-old actress Alicia Silverstone and forcibly kissed her. At the time the scene was dismissed as "comedy," but with the recent Me Too movement it has been reexamined and met with fierce criticism as "clear sexual assault."

On top of that, baseless anti-vaccine activities and lecturing about Will Smith slapping someone solidified his image as a lone maverick.

- "life is beautiful".."Eggman" returns after overcoming depression

Despite much pain, Jim CARRY rose again. Speaking about the depression that had tormented him for a long time, he said, "It is raining, but it can no longer sink me," showing a transcendent attitude. He announced his retirement in 2022, but ultimately returned as the genius villain in "Sonic 3" for the candid and quirky reason that "he needed money," bringing smiles to fans.

A childhood of poverty, surviving homelessness to achieve the Hollywood dream. And the loneliness and controversies hidden behind the glamour. Jim CARRY now says, "I don't care about fame after death. I just want to be remembered as a person with a pleasant scent."
