‘He worked on his speech in French for months’: César awards boss rejects Jim Carrey clone conspiracy theories

Gregory Caulier has attempted to quash rumours that Mask actor was replaced by a heavily made-up impersonator for his appearance picking up an honorary award in Paris

The organiser of the César awards has sought to debunk reports that a lookalike stood in for Jim Carrey at last week’s ceremony.

In a statement sent to Variety on Monday, Gregory Caulier, general delegate of the Césars, said the controversy was a “non-issue” and testified to Carrey’s investment in the event, which had been in the planning since last summer.

“From the outset, he was extremely touched by the Academy’s invitation,” wrote Caulier. “Eight months of ongoing, constructive discussions. He worked on his speech in French for months, asking me about the exact pronunciation of certain words.”

But Gregory Caulier, the general delegate of the Cesar Awards, says the actor’s rare appearance at the ceremony — where he received the honorary Cesar, succeeding Julia Roberts — was authentic and “a historic moment.”
