Jim Carrey explains his decision to return to acting for 'Sonic the Hedgehog 3' after previously announcing a break. He shares his appreciation for his fans and his time away from Hollywood.
Jim Carrey exclusively told E! News that taking a break from Hollywood gave him a new appreciation for his chosen career as well as a 'different angle on the whole thing.' The actor needed to give him a new perspective on his career. 'I think whenever you step away from something — even if it's something you love — you get a new appreciation for it,' Carrey exclusively told E! News. 'I also value getting out of people's faces,' Carrey said in the interview, airing on E! News Dec. 17, at 11 p.m.
'I mean, some people just want to be in people's faces all the time, and I don't, so I like to give them a rest.' The star is especially grateful that his fans have stuck with him for all these years, adding 'I appreciate it. I'm gratified by it.' His decision to return for 'Sonic the Hedgehog 3' —hitting theaters Dec. 20— wasn't only because he was excited to play the character of Dr. Robotnik again (as well as his grandfather Gerard Robotnik): There was also a far more practical reason. Carrey had previously announced a break from acting in March 2022. 'If the angels bring some sort of script that's written in gold ink that says to me that it's gonna be really important for people to see, I might continue down the road. But I'm taking a break.' As Carrey explained at the time, he was very much enjoying his 'quiet life,' as well as taking time to paint and focus on his 'spiritual life.
