Jim Carrey doesn't care if people have a negative reactions to his latest comedy movie 'I Love You Phillip Morris', which features an openly gay couple.
Jim Carrey doesn't care about negative reactions to 'I Love You Phillip Morris'.
The movie tells the true life story of Steven Russell - played by Carrey - a married man who comes out as gay and completely changes his lifestyle, eventually landing him in a prison due to a series of cons.
He said: "I don't really care about the reaction, if there's a negative reaction. I care about doing a story about amazing, fascinating people.
"It's a true story about love, and someone's relentlessness to find it and keep it."
Jim - who stars in the comedy movie opposite Ewan McGregor as his love interest Phillip Morris - also admitted he wanted to do role because it was a rare script for him.
He said: "A lot of times, especially with bigger comedies, when you get a script you generally have to go out and sit in a boiler room and turn yourself into something.
"There are very few scripts that come through where I feel like I don't have to do that, the character's already realised - but this was one of them."
However, filming was not made easy thanks to a dark scene where Jim's character Steven loses weight when he is faking AIDS.
He told the Metro newspaper: "The process of losing weight was pretty tough.
"In the week of shooting, I was just having these little tomato drinks and supplements so I could stay alive.
"In the last two days before the main shots where I look very skinny, I actually just stopped eating.
I was completely exhausted and raw during that part of it."
'I Love You Phillip Morris' is released in the UK on March 17, but only has a limited run in the US from April 30.
