Oh my goodness this is strange! Buckle up because we’re going deep on this one, and no I’m not talking about “Conspiracy Theories”…..I’m going going to show you facts in this article. Because as usual, the TRUTH is stranger than fiction! Who needs “Conspiracy Theories” when reporting on the strange reality we currently live in is so much more entertaining! We go now to Jim Carrey — or perhaps to the actor playing Jim Carrey? Art imitating life? Life imitating art? Actors imitating actors? Three days ago I brought you this bizarre report that the Internet was absolutely convinced this was NOT Jim Carrey receiving an award in Paris: The Internet Is Convinced Jim Carrey Has Been Replaced By a Clone Look, people age… People get “puffy”…. People look different as time marches on. Jim Carrey is not always going to look like Ace Ventura for the rest of his life. But was this just normal aging and time taking its toll? Or was it actually not Jim Carrey at all? Was the Internet right? Meet Alexis Stone. From what I can tell, Alexis Stone is some combination of Make-Up Artist and Actor. He has 1.4 million followers on Instagram and has famously posted countless videos of himself in full mask “playing” other famous people: Like this one of him showing up to the park as Jack Nicholson. Check this out, it’s wild:   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Alexis Stone (@thealexisstone) Uncanny right? But also the neck…. Where have I seen a neck like that before? How about every time we saw Joe Biden from 2021-2025? More on that in a minute. First back to Alexis Stone and Jim Carrey. Stone posted three photos to his Instagram today which seem to claim he’s admitting to “playing” Jim Carrey in a mask in Paris. In other words, the Internet was right. Take a look at these three images and then look at the caption he posted with them in the top right which reads: “Alexis Stone as Jim Carrey in Paris”: Wow! So then comes the big question: Real or Fake? Real of Publicity Stunt? Real or an opportunistic moment to inject himself into a big story and gain a bunch of new followers? And if he really was playing Jim Carrey in a Mask in Paris, what about Jim and the awards show? Were they in on it? They would have to be, right? I promised you I would only bring you FACTS in this article and that’s what I’m doing. FACT 1: by his own post, Stone is claiming he was playing Jim Carrey in a mask in Paris. FACT 2: the Cesar Awards DENIES Stone’s claim, saying it definitely was the real Jim Carrey.

Stone shared a post and a series of stories on Instagram with the caption: Alexis Stone as Jim Carrey in Paris. In response to the new post from Stone, Cesar Awards delegate Gregory Caulier has released a statement, saying Jim Carrey’s attendance in Paris was authentic and “a historic moment.” “Jim Carrey’s visit has been planned since this summer. From the outset, he was extremely touched by the Academy’s invitation. Eight months of ongoing, constructive discussions. He worked on his speech in French for months, asking me about the exact pronunciation of certain words,” Caulier told Variety. “He came with his partner, his daughter, his grandson and 12 close friends and family members…” EXCLUSIVE: It really was Jim Carrey at the award show in Paris, his publicist says.

Makeup artist Alexis Stone — AKA Elliot Joseph Rentz — even appeared to take credit for impersonating the comedy icon in a cryptic Instagram post, writing, “Alexis Stone as Jim Carrey in Paris” along with a pic of a latex mask and fake teeth. The general delegate of the Cesar Awards told Variety that Jim had planned on attending the award show since the summer and had prepared for months to give his speech in French. He attended the show with his partner, daughter, grandson, publicist, and 12 close friends and family. So….was it Jim? Was it Stone instead? I don’t know. But I do know it’s absolutely wild that “Jim Carrey” and “Masks” keep coming up over and over and over. You can’t make this stuff up folks…. The actor famously known for making a movie called “The Mask” (remember that?) is now in the news for a story involving someone playing HIM in a Mask? Oh and does everyone remember this moment that still hasn’t been explained?  “THE MASK” — Final Proof We’re All Just Watching a Movie? Or how about the REPEATED claims that from 2021-2025 it was Jim Carrey in a Mask “playing” Joe Biden? Remember this? Central Casting
