"Jim Carrey's visit has been planned since this summer. From the outset, he was extremely touched by the Academy's invitation. Eight months of ongoing, constructive discussions. He worked on his speech in French for months, asking me about the exact pronunciation of certain words."
"He came with his partner, his daughter, his grandson and 12 close friends and family members. His longtime publicist accompanied him. His old friend Michel Gondry, who has made a film and two series with him, was there, and they were delighted to see each other again."
Jim Carrey received the Honorary César Award at the February 26 ceremony in Paris, honoring his contributions to cinema. His appearance sparked viral conspiracy theories suggesting he was an impersonator, particularly after he delivered his entire speech in French and drag queen Alexis Stone posted photos of prosthetics resembling Carrey's appearance. César Awards general delegate Gregory Caulier dismissed these theories, confirming Carrey's attendance was genuine and planned since summer. Caulier detailed Carrey's eight-month preparation, including working on French pronunciation with him, and noted Carrey attended with family, friends, his publicist, and longtime collaborator Michel Gondry.
