Jim Carrey’s story is one of pure belief and resilience. He grew up in Canada, and when his father lost his job, his family became homeless, living in a van. At just 15, Jim dropped out of school to work as a janitor, cleaning toilets to help support his family. But even while he was scrubbing floors, he dreamed of comedy. He practiced faces, impressions, and jokes in front of a mirror, believing one day he’d make people laugh for a living. His first stand-up show was a failure, Hollywood rejected him, and everyone said he was too much—but he kept going.
