That’s my opinion anyway. The actress might very well feel the same way, but that’s not the reason I am writing this blog.
Rather, I am using this opportunity to take back any and all negative comments I have made regarding the coupling of Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey. By nature I don’t put much stock in unions between big name Hollywood celebs and that went double for McCarthy and Carrey.
I just figured the two self-professed goofballs were thrown together based on their mutual love for making others laugh and eventually the romance would fizzle out.
But now I am not sure that my prediction will prove to be as accurate as I first thought.
Here’s why:
The couple, who have been dating for two years now, recently revealed that they have no intention of walking down the aisle together.
According to the twice-divorced actor (Carrey was previously married to Melissa Carrey and actress Lauren Holly), he is in love with McCarthy, but he isn’t looking to marry her.
“If you’ve done it twice, you really should stop doing it,” the actor told reporters during a recent interview.
Bottom line: If they don’t get married I won’t be reporting on a subsequent divorce.
Next, by now most people are aware that McCarthy’s 5-year-old son Evan suffers from autism.
The actress wrote a book on her son’s experiences and while promoting it she spoke of the amazing bond Carrey shares with Evan. McCarthy even refers to her boyfriend as the “autism whisperer.”
Who knew? Watching Jim Carrey in TV interviews he tends to show off his wild and crazy side, which I’m sure is a huge part of who he is. But who knew he could channel all that energy to help an autistic child and yield such incredible results?
Recently, McCarthy revealed that Carrey helped Evan conquer his aquaphobia. Apparently, no one could get the boy to go near water. Then, McCarthy said Carrey started working with him and things began to change.
“I can get him into the water,” Carrey said. “Although it took a few hours of acting like it was the greatest thing in the world to get him to do it.”
I would have never guessed that Jim Carrey would have the patience to work with an autistic child let alone be able to use his wild antics to get the child past certain fears.
So to you Jim Carrey I offer my profound apologies. Here’s hoping your positive influence on Evan continues for years to come… even if you stop dating his mother.
