Jim Carrey'S Ex Slams Clone Conspiracy Theories After César Awards

Jenny McCarthy Defends Jim Carrey Against Wild Clone Theories

The internet was buzzing after Jim Carrey made a rare appearance at the César Awards in Paris, sparking wild theories about his identity. But one person who knows him well is setting the record straight. Jenny McCarthy, Carrey's former flame, didn't hold back when addressing these rumors during an interview with PEOPLE at the iHeartRadio Music Awards on March 26.

"It Was Definitely Jim Carrey," Says McCarthy

McCarthy, who shared a relationship with Carrey from 2005 to 2010, was quick to dismiss the outlandish claims. "It was definitely Jim Carrey," she confirmed, putting to rest the bizarre theories questioning who was on stage accepting the honorary award.

“He looked very happy at that award show. And I was happy for him,” McCarthy shared, recalling her immediate reaction upon seeing him. “Oh wow, Jim looks really happy.”

Donnie Wahlberg Weighs In on Public Perception

McCarthy wasn't alone in her thoughts. Her husband, Donnie Wahlberg, also chimed in during the interview, pointing out a common oversight among the public. "You know, that’s the part that, sadly, people miss. We’re so obsessed with how he looks that we didn’t consider how happy he looked," he observed.

Carrey, who has been keeping a low profile, focusing more on painting and personal endeavors, made headlines with this public outing. His recent work has been sparse, with his portrayal of Dr. Robotnik in the "Sonic the Hedgehog" films being his last significant role. Despite stepping back from the limelight, Carrey's happiness was evident to those who truly saw him at the awards.

It's clear that while the internet may love a good conspiracy, those close to Carrey are more focused on his well-being and joy.
