Jim Carrey Beefs up for Three Stooges Role

This wouldn’t be the first time a star gained or lost weight for a role, but the ever fit and lanky Jim Carrey is said to be adding 50 pounds to his girth to suit the role of Curly.

Screen Crave

According to the Examiner, Jim Carrey is trying to pack on 50 pounds to star as the chubby member of the trio. He recently showed up at a charity event in Los Angeles appearing a little heavier than usual. He was even sporting a shaggy beard, which I don’t think is relevant to Curly’s look unless the Farrelly Brothers are trying to do something new.

Maybe the scruff is to cover up his unsightly third chin?

Actors do some pretty extreme things to their bodies for the sake of a paycheque and I admire Carrey’s dedication to do this au naturel instead of just putting on a fatsuit.

Or perhaps this angle just covers up his deep depression bender after his favourite didn’t win on Big Brother.
