Jim Carrey condemned over 'creepy and sleazy' remark to female journalist

Jim Carrey’s response to a female reporter’s question about his “bucket list” has caused outrage on Twitter.

During a promotional junket for Sonic the Hedgehog, Carrey was asked by Heat Magazine journalist Charlotte Long if there was anything still left on his bucket list (a list of goals to complete in life before “kicking the bucket”). “Just you”, he replied.

A video clip of the exchange has provoked a strong reaction on Twitter, with many praising Long’s professionalism and condemning Carrey’s actions.

“You’re a pro my dear. such a CREEP!” said one.

Another wrote: “Look up ‘sleazeball’ in the dictionary and there’s a photo of @JimCarrey.”

One Twitter user also took objection to Carrey’s behaviour, saying: “Why is it ever necessary to do this? It’s so creepy, sleazy and unfair to someone conducting an official interview.

“There are those like him out there who think it flatters-sleazeballs dont realise it’s perceived in most cases as vomit worthy. I’ve gone right off him.”

Carrey recently landed in hot water for his comments about Margot Robbie’s appearance during an interview on The Graham Norton Show.
