Jim Carrey has become one of the most well-known faces in the world. And it is because of his face that he has made such achievements.

He was often alone. He said he didn’t have any friends because he didn’t want any. At 15 he started performing at a comedy club. Later he moved to Los Angeles and there he got the attention from a famous comedian, Rodney Dangerfield, and his life started to change.
