Jenny McCarthy has dismissed the online theory that Jim Carrey was replaced by a double at the 2026 César Awards in Paris, saying after the iHeartRadio Music Awards on 26 March that the man seen accepting the honour in February was, plainly, Jim Carrey. Her remarks came after a burst of social media speculation over Carrey's appearance at the French ceremony, where he received an honorary César for his contribution to film and television.
The rumour had already been rejected by Carrey's representatives, who said, 'Jim Carrey attended the César Awards, where he accepted his Honorary César Award.' Gregory Caulier, general delegate of the César Awards, called the rumours a 'non-issue,' noting Carrey's visit had been planned since summer and he had worked on his acceptance speech in French for months.
