Jim Carrey's publicist has quashed viral claims that an impersonator stood in for the actor at the César Awards, confirming it was the real star who attended the Paris ceremony to accept his honorary award.
The confusion arose from footage of the 51st César Awards on 26 February, where the 64-year-old collected a lifetime achievement honour. Conspiracy theories spread online as some viewers claimed he looked unrecognisable, prompting suggestions of a body double or clone.
