Something strange happened when Jim Carrey walked into L'Olympia in Paris on 26 February. The 64-year-old, who showed up to collect an honorary César for lifetime achievement, looked different enough that the internet lost its collective mind within hours.
Not different in a bad way, necessarily. Not different in a way that anyone in the room seemed troubled by. But different enough, under red carpet lighting and through the unforgiving lens of social media freeze-frames, that millions of people spent the weekend arguing about whether the man on stage was the real Jim Carrey at all.
