Ariana Grande opens up about her fascination with Hollywood star Jim Carrey

Mega star Ariana Grande has revealed the celebrity she still loves more than most - actor Jim Carrey .

The singer says she adores the Dumb and Dumber star even more because of his inspirational quotes about depression.

The No Tears Left To Cry hit maker uploaded a series of posts about the 57-year-old to her Instagram story.

One included a line by Carrey about depression and how to understand it.

She opened up recently about her 'headspace' and how she wasn't in the place to deal with things like social media like she once was.

Last week, she told her fans she was diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder as she posted pictured of her brain scan.

She told fans of her love for movie star Jim - and let them in on a little secret.

"My first AIM username was jimcarreyfan42 when I was in like 4th grade," she said, talking about the chat site.

She went on to post many of his quotes on mental difficulties.

"Depression is your body saying, 'I don't want to be this character anymore. I don't want to hold up this avatar that you've created in the world. It's too much for me,'" it read.

The 25-year-old, whose ex-boyfriend Mac Miller died in September, ended her engagement with Pete Davidson in October.

She says she is "still dealing with the effects" of the Manchester bombing which shook the world during her concert in 2017.
