Jim Carrey would play the Grinch again, but only without the makeup: "It was an extremely excruciating process"

Jim Carrey in How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

Jim Carrey famously starred as the Christmas-hating Grinch back in 2000 in How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and, while no sequel has been announced, he's indicated he would return again – on one condition.

"Oh, gosh, you know, if we could figure out the Grinch," Carrey told ComicBook.com when asked which of his characters he'd like to play again. "The thing about it is, on the day, I do that with a ton of makeup and can hardly breathe. It was an extremely excruciating process. The children were in my mind all the time. 'It's for the kids. It's for the kids. It's for the kids.' And now, with motion capture and things like that, I could be free to do other things. Anything is possible in this world."
