Jim Carrey says kissing Ewan McGregor was a “dream come true”
Jim Carrey says kissing Ewan McGregor was a “dream come true”.
The actor insists smooching the Scottish star was the highlight of making
new film ‘I Love You Phillip Morris’.
He joked: “It was a dream come true. I mean, look at the guy!”
The dramatic comedy is based on the true story of Texas con artist Steve
Russell, played by Carrey, and his love for cellmate Phillip Morris,
portrayed by McGregor. After years suppressing his true sexuality, Russell
comes out of the closet and launches into a life of high living - eventually
landing himself in jail.
After falling in love with Morris in prison, Russell can’t bear it when his
lover is released and attempts to break out of jail four times so they can
be reunited.
Carrey has admitted several of his friends warned him against taking on the
role of a gay man, but the actor – who is dating former Playboy Playmate
Jenny McCarthy – felt comfortable in his own sexuality to accept the part.
The 47-year-old star said: “If I were to be honest, there were a few people
in my world that were like 'Are you sure you want to do this?’
"I said 'absolutely', because sexual proclivity aside, it's still a story
about human beings that's so compelling, so interesting and so different.”
