Actor Jim Carrey was trending over the weekend after an appearance at the César Awards in Paris had fans wondering if the longtime actor was replaced by a clone.
Fans took note of how the 64-year-old actor looked different, which sparked numerous theories about plastic surgery, body doubles, or some other secret plot. The rumors reached a fever pitch when drag artist Alexis Stone <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DVWs5RNDHSz/?img_index=1">seemed to indicate</a> that he had impersonated Carrey at the event and posted images of prosthetics and a wig to his Instagram page.
The speculation became so intense that a spokesperson for the César Awards went on record saying it was the one and only Carrey attending the event alongside his family and friends.
“Jim Carrey’s visit has been planned since this summer,” Gregory Caulier <a href="https://variety.com/2026/film/global/jim-carry-clone-conspiracy-theory-denied-cesar-awards-speech-1236676536/">told</a> Variety in a statement. 
“From the outset, he was extremely touched by the Academy’s invitation. Eight months of ongoing, constructive discussions. He worked on his speech in French for months, asking me about the exact pronunciation of certain words,” he went on. “He came with his partner, his daughter, his grandson and 12 close friends and family members. His longtime publicist accompanied him. His old friend Michel Gondry, who has made a film and two series with him, was there, and they were delighted to see each other again.”
“For me, it’s a non-issue,” Caulier said of the clone speculation. “I just remember his generosity, his kindness, his benevolence, his elegance.” 
The “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective” star said during his speech that his family originally came from France before emigrating to Canada. “Tonight, with this magnificent honor, this square has come full circle,” Carrey told the audience upon receiving the honorary award. 
Fans were surprised by the actor’s appearance at the César Awards, which they claimed was totally different from how the actor looked and sounded at his last public appearance in November 2025 at the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

These two videos are 4 months apart.
You cannot tell an entire generation of people that watched this mans face on repeat for over two decades, that the person in the second video in Paris is Jim Carrey.
Am I crazy? Where is Jim Carrey? <a href="https://t.co/0L3Z50hgw4">pic.twitter.com/0L3Z50hgw4</a>

“4 months apart. Different eyes, different eye color, different brow shape. Teeth are different. It’s not age or surgery. Sounds different. Acts different. It’s a different person,” one X commenter noted after posting videos from both events side by side.
“I’m no conspiracy theorist but that’s not Jim Carrey,” another person agreed.
