Why didn't Jim Carrey have a family life? Jane Erin Carrey Happy Grandpa Jim Carrey

Jane Erin Kerry is the daughter of the famous Canadian-American comedian Jim Carrey, who starred in The Mask, The Truman Show, Ace Ventura and other comedy and drama films. However, unlike most "star children", Jane is known not only for her relationship with a celebrity, but also for her own talent as a singer, composer and lyricist.

Jane was born on September 6, 1987 in Los Angeles. Jim Carrey was then in his first marriage. His wife is actress and producer Melissa Womer. Then she worked as a waitress in a comedy club, where a little-known comedian performed. She became Jane's mother. In 1995, when the girl was only eight, Jim and Melissa divorced.


Jane Erin Kerry with her parents

Since Jane's parents worked in the entertainment industry, the girl from an early age got used to camera flashes and annoying paparazzi. When she grew up, she decided to follow in her parents' footsteps. She was drawn to the stage, but as a singer, not an actress. Of course, famous Hollywood celebrity nothing to bring out own daughter to the stage and create a big name for it. But this way did not suit the girl.

Despite a very warm relationship with her father, she was always burdened by the name Kerry, because those around her perceived her first of all as the daughter of a popular artist, and only then as an independent person. She was always afraid that any of her achievements in show business would be attributed to her father's connection.

Career

Be that as it may, in 2012 Jane, who at the time ironically worked as a waitress, decided to try her luck at music competition"American Idol" on FOX.

Watch the promo video for the show and Jane's performance (all in English):

In this competition, everyone can compete for the honorary title of the best emerging singer in the United States. On American television, the show has the highest rating.

Although Jane participated in the audition on an equal basis with everyone else, there were also dissatisfied people who reproached the organizers and the jury of the competition for being addicted to their daughter Hollywood star. Evil tongues said that she was given an indulgence at the preliminary auditions, and at the main stage she gave interviews to journalists, instead of waiting in line with all the contestants. Some even explicitly stated that the girl's victory in the first round was the result of an agreement with the producers of the show.

On the first tour, Jane performed the song "Something to talk about", which was once a hit with Bonnie Wright. The judges of the competition - then they were Jennifer Lopez, Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler - highly appreciated the young applicant's vocal abilities and let her go to the next round.

Jim was extremely happy for his pet.

“She is so wonderful and amazing! I can't wait for the day when the world appreciates her. Let her succeed!”

He then told reporters.

And yet, contrary to the hopes of friends and the expectations of skeptical ill-wishers, Jane did not pass to the second round of the competition. But she did not even think about parting with the dream, but simply began to continue to engage in creativity. Back in 2009, she gathered her own musical group and became its vocalist.


Jane Carrey Band

The enthusiast called her ensemble "Jane Carrey Band". She recorded several songs with the band, such as "Sexy Man in a Death Metal Band", "Wishing and Waiting", "Sticky Situation", "Oh Lover", "Simple Beauty". Videos with some of these compositions subsequently gained thousands of views on Youtube.

A short was released in 2017 documentary about Jim Carrey, and Jane herself recorded for this film musical accompaniment. She also became the author and performer of the soundtrack for the 2014 film Dumb and Dumber 2. This film is a sequel to the famous film with Jim Carrey.

Jane admits that she loves the comedy "Dumb and Dumber" more than all other films with the participation of her father.

But music for a talented girl was not enough. She decided to prove herself as a comedian and organized her own show program, which is called: The Jane Carrey Show. She also starred in the comedy series "Hooligans" - once very popular.

In addition to creativity, Jane, along with her beloved dad and his ex-girlfriend Jenny McCarthy, helped raise funds for the treatment of autism patients.

Personal life

In 2009, young Jane married Alex Santana, lead singer of the metal band Blood Money.

In February 2010, Jim Carrey became a grandfather: Jane gave birth to a son, who was named Jackson Riley Santana.

Jim received the news of his daughter's pregnancy with enthusiasm.

"I'm very excited," he said, "Jane will be a great mom."

When the boy was born, the witty actor wrote on his page on the social network:

“Today I have a grandson, Jackson Riley Santana! Three and a half kilograms of real dynamite that will blow up California!

But despite the happy start, Jane Kerry's marriage did not last long. Already in 2011, she filed for divorce, citing the fact that she and her husband were unable to overcome the differences that had arisen.


Pride of Jim Carrey

Outwardly, Jane is very similar to her father. She has the same charming smile and the same kind eyes. They are often seen together, and Jim's eyes shine with delight every time. Jane serves as an excellent example for the children of other movie stars: independent and strong man who is accustomed to achieve everything only by his own efforts.


Jane with son Jackson Riley Santana

Jane Kerry is the daughter of a famous comedian and comedy cafe waitress. Her parents married on March 8, 1987. And on September 6, a girl was born. Jane divorced his mother and married his co-star in the film "Dumb and Dumber" - an actress The adventures of the comedian did not end there, but according to rumors, he gave decent compensation to all his former passions.

Jane Kerry. Biography

Jim had a friendly relationship with his daughter. Following the example of her father, who did not finish his studies until the ninth grade and suffered many failures, before becoming a star, the girl went through a thorny path. Her personal life was unsuccessful. At first she worked as a waitress, she got married early. Already at 22 she gave birth to a son, which made Jim Carrey happy. Jackson Riley Santana (that's what the boy was called) is simply adored by the star grandfather. Jim Carrey treats his duties very reverently.

Marriage Jane Eyrin Kerry fell apart, like their parents. Exactly one year later, her husband left her with a nine-month-old son. Alex Santana plays in the band Blood Money under the pseudonym Nitro. The divorce was hotly debated in the press, which caused even more pain for the aspiring star. However, the girl did not lose heart. Jane organized her own group, which blew up America overnight.

Helping hand

Jane always emphasized that she did not need her father's help. Jim provides his daughter with exceptional moral support. On the contrary, the surname attracts too much attention and prevents viewers and critics from soberly assessing the abilities of a star. Jane has repeatedly stated that it was very difficult for her to succeed precisely because of her father's popularity.

Outwardly, the beginning star looks like Jim. She has the same charming smile and the same warm eyes. Often in photographs they can be seen together, embracing, like very close people. Jim's eyes just glow with happiness. The girl is far from, however, she has a strong voice, which she decided to demonstrate at the talent show. All participants described Jane as pleasant and sweet.

Unlike celebrity children, whose every move is known in the press, Jane appeared out of nowhere. She was practically unknown before the start of the show. Unlike stellar kids who have been preparing for a dizzying career since childhood and doing everything for show, Jane was in the shadows. At the same time, the girl did not waste time in vain. And even though vocal lessons were paid for by her father's money, otherwise the path to success is her personal merit.

Ordinary girl

Jane Kerry loves chocolate chip cookies and home cooking. She is an excellent cook herself, but tries to stick to healthy food. The image of the “correct” American woman was the best fit for the singer. She is like millions of girls: imperfect, dreamy, persistent and hardworking. Recently, the girl changed her image, having dyed her hair in more dark color. Her resemblance to Jim Carrey is now simply obvious. In addition, she began to wear elegant dresses and lost weight.

Where did it all begin?

According to Jane, her work was inspired by the film "Dumb and Dumber" with the participation of her father, released in 1994. Rather, it was the soundtrack to the film. At that moment, the girl was 7 years old, and she already more than a year She lived with her mother after her parents divorced. The picture was the first successful film for a comedian. Upon learning that her father had become successful, her daughter believed in him and decided to follow in Jim's footsteps.

In what still keeps in the soul a few funny quotes from the film, admits Jane Kerry. The singer always has a photo of her father with her. This helps to avoid discouragement and depression. The film "Dumb and Dumber" really went into short sayings, fans copy the facial expressions and movements of the main characters. After the picture, the image of a cheerful jerk took a firm place on the Hollywood film. This determined not only the fate of Kerry Sr., but also his daughter, Jane Erin Kerry, whose photo he also always kept close by.

Collaboration

Jane dedicated several of her songs to the film "Dumb and Dumber". Sticky Situation and Breathing Without You are the names of the songs played by her band. They became the soundtracks for the second part of the picture. The sequel was released in September 2014, 20 years after the first tape.

Father and daughter worked together on the new film. Jim cheered up the girl with sparkling jokes, and Jane revealed all hers. Both note that the joint creation made them even closer. The picture has become long-awaited for many fans of the actor. For fans of the singer Jane Kerry, the new tape opened up previously unknown facets of her talent.

First try

Like many aspiring stars, Jane Kerry tried her hand at the famous American talent competition American Idol. She commented on her participation as follows: "The surname definitely helps and harms."

This explains Jane's participation in the All-American Talent Show. The girl deliberately went to audition so as not to use the influence of her father and achieve everything herself. She went through the competition round after round, in which she was highly valued.

The show was judged by Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez. Jane performed the song "Things to Talk About" by Boney Wraith. The jury unanimously noted the performance technique and recommended that the singer learn to establish contact with the audience. Jennifer Lopez immediately recognized Jane, but this did not affect the judging. However, the girl passed the tests by unanimous decision of the jury. Her father all this time was rooting for his daughter behind the scenes. After the audition, he said that he could not wait for the moment when the whole world knew about the talent of Jane Carrey. Photos and notes from the project filled out social networks and garnered millions of views around the world.


Forward to glory!

Participation in the project was not enough for the ambitious Jane. She organized her own and is called - Carrey Jane Show ("Kerry Jane Show"). In addition, the singer starred in one of the seasons of the Hooligans series, which was released in 2007-2008.

The series is a treasure trove of sketch comedy in the spirit of Jane's father. He does not let the viewer relax for a second. The show hangs in the TOPs American TV channels for several years now. Jane considers it a great success to participate in these shootings. This was a kind of hit on the bull's-eye, because for young film actors it is extremely important not to spoil the start.

The project began with a meeting of standup artist Aziz Anzari with two friends Rob Hubel and Paul Shear. Before the meeting, everyone had a good luggage, while the whole trio happily stumbled upon the famous producer Vuliner. The result was a sparkling series that riveted the attention of millions of Americans. The sketches in the show are reckless and original. No politics, no humor below the belt. Only crazy, sometimes long, sometimes unsaid and too abstruse, but outrageously funny jokes.

Poor Jimmy

Jim Carrey (actually James Eugene) was not lucky at the very beginning of his career, but his parents always supported him. He was cleaning toilets, tomatoes were flying at him from the auditorium, but Jim did not give up. His parents, unfortunately, passed away early, which provoked severe depression and divorce. By maintaining a relationship with his daughter, Kerry ensured not only peace of mind, but also career success. Throughout his life, he soared to the peak of popularity and went into the shadows, got divorced and started dizzying novels. We hope that Jane will pass her creative way more smoothly, and wish her good luck!

Biography of Jim Carrey

The full name of the eminent comedian is James Eugene Kerry, originally from Newmarket, Canada. One of the most expensive comedians in the US. The biography of Jim Carrey begins on January 17, 1962, far from being in a wealthy family.

His mother was a housewife and suffered mental disorder, and his father worked as a security guard at the factory, where Jim, two older sisters and an older brother had to earn extra money. The family often moved from place to place due to the lack of a normal job for Jim's father. At one time, the Kerry family did live in a motor home.

Jimmy from childhood loved to grimace and amuse his friends with jokes and parodies of famous people. Thanks to his father, at the age of 15 he first appeared in front of the audience in a nightclub, but the number, jointly prepared with his father, failed miserably. Subsequently, he refused to go public for the next couple of years.

Two years later, Jim hosts a successful comedy night in Toronto and receives acclaim from critics, some of whom have called him " real star coming out."

Comedy store - night club Los Angeles, became Jim's starting point in show business. It is here that he catches the eye of the famous American comedian Rodney Dangerfield. From that moment on, Jim's business went much better.

People magazine names him one of America's best young impersonators. He tries out for all sorts of TV shows and series until he gets the lead role in the children's series The Duck Factory.

This allows him to transfer his parents to him, but after 3 months the transfer is closed, and Jim is left without a job. The mother's condition worsens and the parents have to be sent back. The next couple of years, Jim plays only minor characters, he develops depression and the public forgets about him.

1983 is the year of Jim Carrey's film debut. Having played a minor character in the film "Rubber Face", a couple of years later, Jim gets a leading role in the film "Once Bitten", but film critics greeted the future star with coolness. Following the actor participates in the filming of little-known films that did not bring wide fame.


Filming Ace Ventura: Pet Detective

In 1993, Jim began filming Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. The shooting of the film was extremely difficult: most popular comedians refrained from participating in the creation of the film, and the script did not receive proper funding.

By the way, Jim first acted as a screenwriter. He independently created a portrait of the main character, constantly supplementing it during the filming. This time, Jim managed to collect a decent box office (over $100 million) and earn $350,000.

A good box office did not become an occasion for a warm reception of the film by film critics. Jim was nominated for Golden Raspberry, and main character was ridiculed.

But thanks to the release of the films "The Mask" with a box office of more than $ 350 million and "Dumb and Dumber" with $ 247 million, Jim Carrey receives the love of the public and critical reviews: nominations for the Golden Globe, Oscar, BAFTA and MTV Movie Awards. "The Mask" brought Jiu 500 thousand dollars, "Dumb and Dumber" - 7 million and the first award of the MTV channel for a comedy role.

First $20 million per role

In 1996, Kerry received for the first time for the performance leading role in the movie "The Cable Guy" a fee of 20 million dollars, which will later become his permanent fee. Thanks to this film, Jim became the highest paid comedian.

1998 is the year when Jim proved to everyone that he could play tragic characters by playing the role of Truman in the film The Truman Show. Critics were delighted, giving the actor three British Academy awards, three Golden Globe awards and three Oscar nominations. Carrey himself considers Truman's script one of the most interesting of his career.

In the early 2000s, Jim Carrey starred in a number of comedy films: Me, Myself and Irene, The Grinch Stole Christmas, Bruce Almighty and Lemony Snicket: 33 Unfortunate Things. By the way, "Bruce Almighty" became the highest grossing film in Jim's career, collecting 484 million dollars at the box office and at the same time becoming one of the highest grossing comedies.


"Golden Raspberry"

2007 - turned out to be unsuccessful in the career of an actor. He first took on a role in the thriller film The Number 23.

AT recent times Jim Carrey is not as fun as he used to be, but we hope he comes back. This was our TOP 15 "movies with Jim Carrey"!

Many dream of being in the world of show business. And the easiest way at first glance is the offspring of media personalities. Celebrity children are caught on camera from the cradle, their first steps are discussed on the forums, and dresses for the exit are immediately copied in numerous stores. How to grow up as an independent person in such conditions? The daughter remains a mystery to the paparazzi to this day, but she is a very interesting girl.

A man with incredible plasticity

In 1962, the most popular comedian of our time was born and the first actor in the comic genre, whose fees exceeded $ 20 million. His birthplace was Ontario, Canada. The boy was with early childhood incredibly flexible and mobile. At breaks, he entertained classmates with skits and original grimaces. living conditions at future star were difficult, and had to work since the age of 15. However, Jim made the most difficult but surest decision of his life, making his passion for humor his profession. It took almost 10 years to conquer America. During this time, Jim passed through the Los Angeles theater, where he was known as the most original artist. And on one of his birthdays, he appeared on stage almost naked.

Popularity and becoming an artist

The first high-profile success came to Jim after the film "The Mask" by Charles Russell, filmed in 1994. In the center of the film is the story of the modest and shy bank clerk Stanley Ipkins, who found a magic mask. Wearing it, Stanley turned into a completely opposite personality: freedom-loving, extravagant and witty. As an actor, Jim Carrey showed himself from two opposite sides, and thanks to his sparkling humor, the film entered the Golden Fund of Cinema.

Facial expressions, perfect control of one's own body, flexibility and plasticity, as well as incredible dancing skills - all this was combined in Jim so organically that the roles began to be written exclusively for him.

The best films with Jim Carrey

For The Mask, Jim received today's "pathetic" fee of a million dollars, but the continuation of the film brought him twenty times more. Then followed a whole kaleidoscope of star roles, and each successive was better than the previous one.

The Farrelly brothers' film "Dumb and Dumber" was conceived as another comedy for teenagers, but the result exceeded all expectations. Together with Kerry, he played a typical couple clowning when one of the heroes - Lloyd - does stupid things, but his friend - Harry - turns the situation even more stupid.
In the films, Jim has a lot of contact with animals, which he does very well. In two parts of the tape about Ace Ventura, Kerry was an ardent propagandist of love for "fluffies". And then there was Edward Nygma in "Batman", surpassing in brightness main star Cinema - Val Kilmer.

Having won the fame of the best comedian, Carrey went to a serious movie. In 1997, the film "The Truman Show" was released with obvious notes of drama, which brought the actor the first Golden Globe in the nomination "Best Dramatic Actor". AT next year was another award for the film by Milos Forman "The Man in the Moon". The picture was too serious for the audience, accustomed to the fact that films with Jim Carrey are always funny and bright, so it did not set any records at the box office. In 2000, Carrey starred in The Grinch Stole Christmas, which became the highest-grossing film in the US and won an Academy Award for makeup.

A family

The work completely captured Jim, but surprisingly, his personal life practically did not suffer from this. The first wife, Melissa Womer, a partner in the Comic Club, gave birth to Jim's daughter, but this did not save the family. After eight years of marriage, they separated, but Jim proved to be a caring father and husband, continuing to pay his wife and daughter $ 10,000 a month for maintenance. He is very loving father and always spent everything with his daughter free time.
