claim: Claims "Dumber and Dumber" actor Jim Carrey said, "Society is collapsing."
evidence: He’s one of my favourite actors of all time. I hold both Ace Ventura and Dumb and Dumber very close to my heart and I’m often overheard quoting both movies on a daily basis. Jim Carrey will always be that crazy pet detective with the outlandish shirts and the ridiculous quiff haircut but there’s so much more to him than funny faces and easy-to-quote punchlines. We got our first signs of Carrey’s ambition way back in 1998 when he starred as Truman Burbank, a pleasant, everyday man ignorant to the fact that his whole life had been one fat lie, playing out for millions of addicted viewers as a unknowing reality TV star. The script was tight, quirky and most importantly it was different. The Truman Show was hailed for it’s foreboding prediction in the way we watch television. Big Brother debuted a year later and reality TV took over our lives.
