"If you ain't desperate at some point, you ain't interesting"

We all know him. At least, have heard about him and seen him acting as "sad clown." He was named the funniest man alive. He brought laughter to the mouth of  his fans with his savvy. Yet, he had a traumatic childhood which mostly consisted of anger and hardship.


Who might this be. I know you know. And of course, i know.
      
JIM CARRY.


Jim Carry had a normal life.  As a child, he performed stand-up comedy to anyone and everyone interested to watch. At 10, he performed stand-up comedy during the last remaining minutes at the end of each school day.


 His father was an accountant, but as Jim got older things became worse for his family. They had to move to Scarborough and all work in the Titan Wheels Factory. He  had to work 8hrs a day while still attending school. Even with his input, his family struggled and had to search for  new jobs. Things were so touch that they lived in a camper van.


Willed and determined, Jim decided to pursue his career as a comedian. He performed stand-up comedy and loved so much that he dropped out of high school. After, he landed in a sitcom called The Duck Factory and then progressed to Living in Color. This opened the door of stardom for him and paved the way to many funny roles in movies such as Mask and Ace Ventura.


He has been nominated and awarded several award in the MTV Movie Award, Kids Choice Awards, People's Choice Awards, U.S. Comedy Arts Festival, and many more.
Jim truly understands what it means for one to work for his dream!

    I actually didn't know, well wouldn't believe that he had not been rich his whole life, Jim Carey is probably one of the funniest actors out there.

    This is a perfect rags to riches story he doesn't show that he has been through such tribulations.
