Jim Carrey declares his love for Emma Stone: creepy or harmless?

I saw this video (^above^) last night, and it really creeped me out. At first, I only read the transcript, and I thought, “Oh, that’s not so bad. Jim Carrey is just declaring his love for a young actress, it’s kind of sweet. Everyone loves Emma Stone and her vagina dust ruffles.” But then I saw the video, and… NO, it’s just creepy. Jim Carrey put the camera right up to his face, the way you would if you were making a hostage plea or a suicidal rant. Plus, I have discomfort because I worry about Jim’s mental health, and this kind of thing piques my concern-troll. Here’s the transcript:

I just wanted to let you know that I think you’re all the way beautiful. Not just pretty, but, you know, smart and kindhearted. And if I were a lot younger, I would marry you, and we would have chubby little freckled faced kids. We’d laugh all day long and go camping and play Yahtzee and tell ghost stories by the fire. And the sex?

Everyday for the rest of your life, you would thank God that I was the appropriate age for you. But I’m not. I’m 49. I have lines on my face, sometimes a little grey in my beard, and it takes me a little longer to pee than it used to. Those are the only discernable signs of aging that I can find so far. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know how I felt. You’re pretty special, and I wish you continued success and artistic fulfillment, but most of all, I wish you love and contentment. That’s all.

[Via HuffPo]

He’s 49, she’s 22. What would you do if some dude 27 years older than you made a vlog about how he wanted to get you pregnant? Would you alert the authorities? Or would you just laugh it off as harmless? I do think it’s harmless, by the way. Like, Emma’s not in any danger, and Jim’s interest in her, while creepy, is inoffensive. I don’t know… I would probably take it as a compliment and just move on. Which is what Emma will probably do, I guess.

    Creeeeeeeeeeepy.

  2. Cherry says:

    Oh, COME ON! THIS IS CLEARLY A JOKE!! Carrey has a crazy sense of humor. What of it.

  3. Ann says:

    Creepy. He was 27 when she was breastfeeding. Creepy.

  4. lucy2 says:

    Unless they know each other and are friendly and it’s a silly teasing joke, it’s creepy.

  5. Sillyone says:

    Anything Carrey does including breathing is creepy. If he was walking towards me on a sidewalk I would cross the street, I find him that creepy always have.

  6. sapphire says:

    Anything to do with Jim Carrey is creepy.

  7. LOVE ANGELINA says:

    People on Dlisted said it was creepy and but people on Huffpo said it was a joke. My question is: Why is Jim making a joke like this? Like whats the point? Does he even know her? I am gonna go half and say it was probably a joke and only Jim finds it funny. I love the man I do but just reading the transcripts alone sent a chill down my spine. I guess if he knew her or something it wouldn’t be so creepy but it was so random.

  8. madpoe says:

    If it weren’t funny man Jim Carrey it would be creepy. But its for laughs.

  9. mln76 says:

    I didn’t even watch the video I am too creeped out by the look on his face. eeeeew.

  10. brin says:

    It’s creepy but consider the source, that’s his sense of humor (ugh). I’d be laughing while getting a restraining order at the same time.

  11. gee_gee says:

    He was trying to be funny but it came out creepy. HaHaHaHa….ew.

  12. size says:

    Emma Stone should be honored by it..
    He is a world star..and most people don’t know who she is,,,
    but… wow..he’s really getting old..
    still he is a handsome man…heheh

  13. ol cranky says:

    @Ann – so they were both spending time focused on boobs at the same time. . .

    I was a little creeped out until he made the reference to peeing taking longer due to his age. This is probably just garden variety Jim Carrey warped humor

  14. Roma says:

    Is it wrong that I find it endearing?

    I just watched Superbad again last night and was taken by what a natural actress Emma Stone is. I hope she doesn’t Lohan herself into oblivion.

  15. Ell says:

    I can’t believe this is being turned in to something negative, it makes me sad.

    I think it’s funny and sweet and completely harmless, nothing to get uptight about…wow.

  16. KLO says:

    If he said those things about me I’d be flattered to the bone. LOL
    After all, it was a joke, and the joke was on himself. So you all can stop screaming 😀

  17. corey says:

    I see that it was posted by her on her youtube channel. So maybe she’s in on the joke? She is a comedic actress who’s trying to establish herself and it is a shout out from one of the best.

  18. Quest says:

    It’s Jim Carrey…who pushes the envelope for comedy and that’s all.

    It’s his way of showing that he likes Emma, nothing more…like the time Jim C frenched kissed Ewan McGregor and Will Smith just for the humor in it.

  19. Cherry says:

    @Love Angelina it’s just his sense of humor. I don’t even think this is about Emma Stone at all, he’s just making fun of himself, being an old man who needs more time to pee than he used to 🙂 He uses this clueless/borderline creepy type of humor in most of his films, remember The Cable Guy? Or Dumb and Dumber?

    @KLO exactly. It’s just silly old Jim making fun of himself.

  20. whybenice says:

    Weird but not creepy as he immediately disclaims it “if I were a lot younger” and I think it’s more of a joke. His daughter Jane is several years older than Emma so I don’t think he’s remotely serious.

  21. radiobleep says:

    COME ON! How can you not get the joke!! I think he does have a crush on her but the video is awesome!

  22. theotheryael says:

    him getting his face all up into it (a la hostage plea) was obviously part of the joke.

    this is classic jim carrey humour. he’s always been offbeat and strange.

    on a sidenote: wasn’t there a blind a little while back about a comedian clinging to a-list status who would rub himself up against lesser-known female costars? maybe jim heard he was a contender for that blind and is playing us all by releasing a video like this, just to get us all going? *conspiracy*

  23. Pyewacket says:

    It’s a joke.

  24. Mia says:

    Creepy!

  25. Chrissy says:

    Creepy but harmless!

  26. natalie says:

    uh, it’s not funny. it’s bizarre.

  27. Ann says:

    Quoted from another website & 100% right on:

    “He’s doing what many, many middle aged creeps do. He knows that pursuing a woman half his age is pervy and he fears rejection and ridicule. So he approaches his prey in an ambiguous way (jokey video) so, if she does reject him, he can pull back and say, “I was only kidding. Don’t you idiots GET that this was all just performance art?” But if she takes the bait, he gets to date her.”

  28. Joan says:

    I think it’s a joke, too. Just look at Jim’s face … With a guy like him, you only have to wonder when to take him seriously! 🙂
    Just because a person struggles with mental health issues doesn’t mean they are just plain “crazy”. Sheesh.

  29. Jen34 says:

    I’ve always thought Jim Carrey had mental health issues. It’s totally creepy, though. Even if he is putting it on, like Andy Kauffman used to do, considering Emma is a real person, it isn’t funny. He needs to get back on his meds stat.

  30. Nanea says:

    I’ve been concerned about Jim’s mental health every since he started supporting Andrew Wakefield, the doc who had proof that vaccination causes autism and who has since been exposed as a liar and a fraud and barred from practicing medicine.

    I think this video is creepy.

  31. 6 says:

    Acting, acting, acting!! He is so joking and I don’t believe it was even meant to be about flattery. There is some kind of an inside joke or a purpose to this. You can totally tell it isn’t for real by the way he is “talking to the camera. It is probably a joke between them meant to get back at the tabloids!! Eat it up!

  32. Rachael says:

    I am shocked and appalled that anyone could watch this and not realize that it’s a JOKE. Unbelievable. I just lost some respect for this website for not realizing that.

  33. Bleuladi says:

    That dude is silly as hell. He is not serious and I’m mad anyone would think that he was. OMG I’m in tears bcuz he is simple

  34. curleque says:

    A joke, but not really… If I was 22 I’d be really creeped out. And if I was his daughter (who’s older than Emma) I’d berate him as an old fool.

  35. mimi says:

    Nanea,

    Andrew Wakefield is right. Do you really think the medical establishment would admit to poisoning/killing an entire generation??? Much easier/cheaper to destroy the messenger.

  36. gee says:

    Eh, I’d laugh it off. Also, if I was Emma Stone I’d be stalking RDJ after his shout out.

  37. Adrien says:

    He’s not a Scientologist so I’d say – harmless.

  38. Toe says:

    I see nothing creepy about it. All of the older ladies in here have a crush on some young actor (HGF). We were all laughing about it, not creeped out.

  39. Sloane Wyatt says:

    Carrey is satirizing creepy old guys declaring their ‘love’ for young girls.

    Jim is going for the skin crawling uncomfortable humor, and he succeeds in a funny OMG way.

  40. Maritza says:

    I know he intended it to be a harmless joke but it becomes creepy when he says he pees slower now, he could have left that part out.

  41. kiko says:

    i get it that he is joking but its still creepy!

  42. Violet says:

    Jim needs to go back on his meds. This video is beyond creepy, especially since this girl is less than half his age. She’s even younger than his daughter, for Pete’s sake.

    Poor Emma. I’d be uncomfortable as hell in her shoes.

  43. bluhare says:

    I’ve read he’s bipolar, and this sounds like something a person might do when they’re in a manic phase.

    But then again, it is Jim Carrey.

  44. KittyKat says:

    ITS A JOKE!

  45. IAMEROK says:

    What JC did was funny and I’m sure ES isn’t fazed or creeped out. What is creepy is the guy that followed me down the street yesterday in his convertable 1989 Suzuki Samurai and proceeded to tell me that I’m the most Bee-yoo-tiful dog walker he has ever seen..that was frikken CREEPEY AS ALL GET OUT..I’m nursing a knee injury and couldn’t run away!!

  46. Dawn says:

    I’m sorry,but this so creepy. Jim sounds like my stalker ex-boyfriend. I didn’t find this funny at all.

  47. Judy says:

    With that little quiver in his chin at the end, this is obviously tongue-in-cheek (although I don’t doubt for a second he does have a crush on her)…regardless, it’s still CREEPY.

  48. Turtle Dove says:

    It is a joke and that’s obvious, but creepy anyway.

    I think it would have gone off better if he hadn’t had the camera so close to his face. Not to say that the wrinkles are what made it creepy, but it gave his message a different tone because he’s a mature man espousing his love for a woman who is younger than his daughter.

    The internet is not a friend to celebs. Great for gossip, but a landmine to navigate for Hollywood.

  49. Rhiley says:

    It is gross and inappropriate. If it is a joke it is an inappropriate joke. I like Jim but this really crosses a line into Creepydom. I hope he is not off his meds again. And I hope this doesn’t mean we will have some statement from Chelsea’s bestie, Jenny McCarthy. She annoys the crap out of me.

  50. meilamon says:

    Mimi, I agree.

  51. Josette says:

    I’d do him in a New York minute…he’s still hot!

  52. 4Real says:

    My gawd it’s not like she’s 16 give me a break! She should just be flattered and move on.

  53. Pippa says:

    One thing about being a redhead– we attract the creepazoids. And they always mention freckles! I remember one guy who stalked me at the video store I worked used to say he wanted to count the freckles in between my thighs. Redhead fetishists= about as creepy as Asian fetishists.

  54. Bec says:

    The part that worried me the most (and tipped my concern-troll) was where he mouths “I love you. I do.” at the very end and then his chin starts quivering like he’s crying. That’s not in the transcript. You have to watch the whole thing for that creepiness. Either it’s so over the top that I should know better than to take this seriously or the rumors about him possibly being bi-polar are really true. In which case I’m much worried for him than I am for her. I truly hope he’s ok.
    Or maybe they have the same agent! And this was a set-up to give Emma Stone and her new movies a major PR boost. Because even though she’s starring in all these movies, very few people know who she is. If it was planned, it went awry. It’s way to creepy to be funny.

  55. Amy says:

    Something tells me this is a joke. I don’t really understand why people are now just asking if Jim Carrey is slightly unhinged. Of course he is! There is no way you can be that good at physical comedy and not be a little unhinged! I remember when I was younger thinking his Ace Ventura movies were the weirdest things ever and didn’t understand why people liked them (I like some of his other movies). But this is definitely a joke–a creepy one maybe, but a joke.

  56. ladybert62 says:

    I dont know about this – does he know her – have they actually met? Why do this so that the whole world can see it? This seems creepy and unbalanced (mentally speaking) to me.

    It seems to me that there is a chance he is obsessed by her and could be stalking her.

    Go ahead boo me and throw stones at me but I know that stalking occurs far more often than we would like to think and that it starts out as an innocent attraction and escalates to a dangerous level and that there is little protection available to the person being stalked.

    If I were Emma Stone, I would have the police on speed dial.

  57. Mary Jane says:

    IT’S A JOKE! Clearly, not funny (sadly, I cannot e’en remembre the last time I thought Jim Carrey was funny), yet still a joke.
    And, who DOESN’T love Emma Stone?

  58. Ashley says:

    You guysssssssssss.
    Jim Carey is a master of creepy comedy.

    Besides, WHO DOESN’T HAVE A CRUSH ON EMMA?! Whenever I talk about her, I refer to her as “my girlfriend” – that can be construed as creepy, if you’re in the mood.

    I see no harm in this video whatsoever. And I’m actually REALLY SURPRISED that some people do!

  59. fancyamazon says:

    @ Mimi and anyone else who believes in Dr Wakefield. He is wrong, absolutely. He was trying to develop a VACCINE while trying to get everyone to stop taking all the others.

    BUT

    Even if he was right, and there is a minuscule chance of autism being caused by vaccines (which it is NOT – correlation does not equal causation ), the diseases we are protecting against with vaccines are horrendous and well worth the extremely tiny risk. Do you really want polio back, for one? And then you will talk about herd immunity. Well, herd immunity has already been breached in parts of the UK by people who think that way. And either way it is morally reprehensible to expect other parents to subject their children to risks but not your own so that you can rely on their immunizations in the “herd”.

  60. SueAnn says:

    It is a joke. No harm done.

  61. neff says:

    @Ann

    ITA 100%. This is the “joke/performance art/of course I wasn’t actually serious/how could anyone be so stupid as to not recognize my very special comic genius—-unless of course you might be interested” approach to getting laid used by comedians since comedy began. Effectively reduces risk of rejection and humiliation.

    Most male comics are fairly unattractive, fairly unpleasant, EXTREMELY unstable people. If they weren’t funny, they would get very little positive attention from anyone.
    IMO Carrey was funny for about 10 seconds circa 1990. Other than that he has always been just a fugly, weird, boring, UNFUNNY creepster. He is re-channeling his Andy Kaufman performance here. Sucked when he first did it. Sucks now. Andy sucked too, except for about 6 seconds. However, since both humor and sexual attractiveness are about as subjective as things get, YMMV.

    He’s 49. She’s 22, not (ALLEGEDLY!) 16. She can decide for herself if she’s interested.

  62. Mari says:

    Hahaha I actually laughed out loud! You’ve got to understand his humor, I guess.

  63. Amanda G says:

    He’s obviously joking with a small hope that maybe she’ll take it seriously LOL

    I cannot get over how terrible he looks. 49? My father is 58 and looks younger than Jim!

  64. I Choose Me says:

    Oh come on! The right up to the camera angle, The over the top earnestness, the reference to him being old and taking longer to pee not to mention the lip quiver at the end, all clearly points to it being a JOKE!

    I don’t always get his brand of humor (HATED CABLE GUY)but this is classic Jim Carrey and I’m betting Emma appreciates it for what it is. A stupid but harmless joke.

  65. Ann says:

    @4real: “My gawd it’s not like she’s 16 give me a break! She should just be flattered and move on.”

    There’s nothing “flattering” about a 50-year old man hitting on you when you’re in your twenties. I always felt insulted.

    Most 20 year old men wouldn’t feel “flattered” by the stalkery attention of a 50 year old woman. Why do you think women would feel differently?

  66. mimi says:

    Hey Fancy,

    Measles and mumps are hardly “horrendous” diseases. Big Pharma is loading multiple vaccines in one jab to save money. And vaccinating infants…yes INFANTS, against a sexually transmitted disease (hepatitus b) is morally reprehensible. As far as the herd nonsense…babies are not cattle. Individuals have the right to decide what to do with their own bodies. If had to guess, I would say you are either 1. a pediatrician, 2. pharma rep.3. related to either one.

  67. Mimi says:

    I felt uncomfortable and I don’t even know her.

    The problem was with how he looks when he says these things, and yes, the age thing.

    I looked way too real as if he was not joking at all, and he didn’t say anything that was meant to me funny, except that thing about peeing.

    Totally creepy.

  68. anne_000 says:

    If he’s had cosmetic surgery done on his face, then that’s too bad, cuz his face was a big part of his fortune.

  69. Jennifer says:

    Ew. Nasty. To me, he’s prob. secretly hoping she’s another ScarJo, and it’s all possible and she’ll vlog him back. But I think early 20s are significantly different than later 20s.Pushing 50 and going after a 22 year old, especially one who is no need of your financial support or connections and gets play from cool young dudes her own age….just give it up Carrey. At 22 I had a huge crush on a guy 20 years older than me, but felt so EXTREMELY weird about it, I couldn’t act on it. If he would have hit on me I’d have felt weird about it, even though I wanted him. The age difference was too much for me. I waited til I was in my early 30s when the difference didn’t matter to me anymore, and totally went for him and it totally worked and he’s the best partner I’ve ever had. Most young women may know and be flattered older men want us sexually, but we dont wanta hear about it from the horse’s mouth. It’s uncomfortable at best and intimidating and nasty at worst.

  70. Ellie says:

    So totally bnot creepy! yeah, maybe he has a crush on her and decided to make this video to be funny. But totally harmless. Love Jim Carey! He can marry me!

  71. Jennifer says:

    @size- why should Emma Stone (or any girl) be “honored” by Jim Carrey’s advance? Cos he’s famous? So what. Sexual attention from way older men can be weird, creepy, and somewhat intimidating when you’re young. Not every woman pisses herself over a powerful or moneyed man.

  72. ol cranky says:

    @Mimi – really, you buy Andrew “I am the definition of conflict of interest and violation of every ethical safeguard to using children in research” Wakefield?

    correlation is not causation and vaccines do not cause autism. the only cases in which there may have been a causative relationship are ones in which there is a problem with a child having a mitochondrial DNA disorder

  73. Shy says:

    That’s creepy. I feel like he was having mental breakdown or was on medication or drugs and decided that it would be cool to videotape what was oh his mind that moment. He wasn’t even trying to be funny. That was just scary and creepy.

    And at least if he would say this to Sandra Bullock, Julia Roberts or Angelina Jolie. But to young Emma? Call Benson and Stabler from SVU.

    Seriously how would you feel if some 40-50 years old neighbor or coworker that you barely know would make such videotape to you or your 20 something daughter? You would get restraining order.

    And can you imagine how awkward it will be if Emma would bump into Jim at some event? It’s one thing if he was trying to be funny (which I don’t thinks so) and it’s another if he meant it and he has crazy crush/love to Emma.

  74. mimi says:

    cranky,

    mitochondrial dna disorder, liver enzyme disorder…whatever you want to call it..some people cannot handle the insult that vaccinations do to the body. They make up a significant portion of the population. Your comment seems so dismissive of them..?? Seriously, I am not following your logic. At all.

  75. Fancyamazon says:

    @ol cranky. I think we might be feeding a troll. But

    @mimi I am none of those things. I work in the Canadian air force and used to be a florist, as I have stated before on this site. I have no love of big pharma, in fact you would probably be surprised on my views about pharmaceutical companies. And I do not agree with the hpv or chicken pox vaccines, as one is unnecessary and the other doesn’t cover all forms and was rushed through testing. But I notice that you glossed over measles and mumps, both of which were infant killers. And you never mentioned rubella at all, which was even worse. You need to do more reading.

  76. Camille says:

    I thought that was funny and sweet lol.

    I’m glad others got the joke too, I thought I was the only one 😆 .

  77. eternalcanadian says:

    I wonder if Jim took “how to shag someone that’s eons younger than me” classes from Hugh Hefner (remember the guy is 85 and shagging 21 year old gals)? 😛

  78. jenn says:

    Hello? This is a prime example of Jim Carrey’s sense of humor. He’s always been able to pull a straight face when making jokes. I wouldn’t be surprised if Emma was in on the joke.

  79. DreamyK says:

    I didn’t see the humor in it. I don’t care if he’s still considered a comedian or not, it was just inappropriate, and more to the point, not funny.

    Also not funny, Jim Carrey not taking his psychiatric medicine.

  80. Palermo says:

    He sounds sort of stalkerish to me, this is not funny and neither is he

  81. Chris says:

    Did I miss a meeting or something? I thought it was okay for celebrities to date people who are decades younger than them because their celebrity status meant they’re exempt from being judged by the same standards as members of the general public. When did this change?

  82. Lairen says:

    Wait, she’s only 22? I’m starting to realize I must look older than I think I do. I’m 25 and I thought she looked like, 3 years older than me at least.

  83. chichi says:

    I thought it was perfectly funny and harmless – the guy is an eccentric comedian, always has been, always will be. Now if he were to start stalking her with a hockey mask and a meat cleaver? Okay I could see the creepy… but otherwise, people! Weird humor is his bag, give him that already. I often think JC is a bit too advanced for the average Joe…

  84. June says:

    Does he have a crush? Probably. Is this out of jest and does he think that, comedian to comedian, she’ll appreciate the joke? Yes, yes.

  85. Angel says:

    funny AND creepy, which is the best kind of Jim Humour. I love how people are overreacting to this, though.

  86. Shy says:

    Celebitchy – please don’t forget to cover today the brilliant Kathy Griffin parody to Jim Carrey video. She confesses her love for Justin Bieber.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDRO7fGzSU8&feature=player_embedded

    Now that was funny. And it had the tone. And everyone understands that it is a joke from the first seconds. And it even makes Jim Carrey video look even more creepier.

  87. helen says:

    Re. “vaccinating infants against a sexually transmitted disease”- um, Hep B is spread via body fluids, but that does NOT mean it’s sexually transmitted. At all.

  88. The H says:

    I would take it as a massive compliment. The man is hilarious.

  89. Bec says:

    @Ann
    Your response to For Real was perfect. It hit the nail on the head for me: That most 22 yr old men would be creeped out by a 49 yr old woman sending them that video – and that the disturbing aspects of this would be clearer and magnified if the gender roles were switched. Remembering how it felt to be a 22 yr old woman when older men hit on me– yeah you’re right, it was never flattering! Just disturbing!

  90. jenna says:

    Creepy. Comedians are the most screwed up people and they often wrap the truth in their comedy. This idea came from some place. Carrey is bipolar and has depression issues.

  91. TL says:

    I would pay anything to see Carey and Sheen do some spoof youtube video.

  92. Amanda says:

    Totally creepy! Did she respond to that video? I wonder if she saw it…

  93. Amanda says:

    Oh here is her response to the video

    “When Emma Stone was asked by Fajita San Guacamole of Hollywood Innuendo to comment on what Jim Carrey had said she got a puzzled look on her face and remarked, “Jim Carrey? I thought he had retired and moved his old slapstick ass back to Canada years ago.”

    Stone then grinned and said that if he is really serious about wanting to be with her then he can go ahead and write her a check for $75 million and she will sit down and give it some serious thought.”

  94. Misaki says:

    i’m 22 years old and I don’t find it creepy at all. When Jim was my age he was damn hot AND HE IS FREAKING FUNNY!! maybe how close it is to his face is a little disturbing..and the peeing thing. If I were Emma I’d be flattered cuz Jim was a cutie pie back in his heyday

    “then he can go ahead and write her a check for $75 million and she will sit down and give it some serious thought.”

    I never thought I’d say this about her but what a bitch!!
