Beloved actor Jim Carrey visited Jimmy Kimmel Live to discuss life, love, and his beard.

Jim’s beard is quite long now, in fact it’s so massive you can hardly recognize him anymore!

“Don’t get me wrong—Jim Carrey is a great character and I was lucky to get the part,” he told Jimmy. “But, I don’t think of that as me anymore. I used to be a guy who was experiencing the world and now I feel like the world and the universe experiencing a guy.”

As for the beard: “Everywhere I go, people talk about the beard. They cant really think about anything else. Wherever I show up, it becomes this story. It’s a bigger star than me. It has its own Twitter… The question is not, ‘Why are you growing a beard?’ The question is, ‘Why am I growing a beard and still shaving my balls?’ It doesn’t make any sense.”
