Comedian Jim Carrey has recently been around Hollywood sporting a giant beard, glasses,
and quite a few extra pounds. We can’t explain the beard and glasses (maybe he lost his
razor and his contacts in the same week?), but the weight gain is preparation for Carrey’s
upcoming role in the Three Stooges movie.
Yes, that’s right: the Three Stooges movie.
Directed by The Farrelly Brothers (who have been trying to get this thing made for years),
the movie will be a big-screen adaptation of the Stooges’ comedy style, featuring some
serious A-list names. Carrey will be playing Curly (the bald one), while Benicio del Toro is
supposedly playing Mo, and rumor has it that either Sean Penn or Paul Giamatti will be Larry.
Carrey plans on gaining even more weight to play the rotund Curly – up to 50 pounds.
And how does girlfriend Jenny McCarthy feel about it?
"Oh my God! I get to be dating Curly!" she told Access Hollywood. "That is the greatest
thing ever."
