BIG5-Oh
Jim Carrey
BIRTHDAY: JANUAR Y 17
“Some folks think I’m having a
midlife crisis,” Jim Carrey’s website declared in October. “But if
I’m happy, successful, and more
loving to my family and friends
than I’ve ever been, whose crisis
is it?” Carrey’s movies have earned
more than $2.3 billion, but for
months he’s been the talk of New
York City, setting up an art studio
in a West Village industrial space
and decorating its roll-down door
with his own street art. He’s even
been spotted on a lawn chair outside, chowing on pizza and smiling
at passersby. Crisis? Sounds to us
like a guy who’s finally found the
time to kick back. —Bill Newcott
