When Jim Carrey stepped onto the red carpet at the César Awards in Paris, the moment should have been a celebration of his decades-long career.
Instead, the actor’s appearance quickly sparked a wave of online speculation and criticism about how he looked.
Amid the harsh comments and conspiracy theories, celebrity plastic surgeon Terry Dubrow is now speaking out, urging fans and critics alike to show the Hollywood icon a little more kindness.

Carrey made a rare public appearance at the Paris ceremony on February 26, where he accepted an honorary lifetime achievement award. However, instead of focusing on the recognition, much of the online discussion quickly shifted to his appearance.

The reality TV surgeon described the reaction as unnecessarily harsh, especially toward someone who had spent decades entertaining audiences.
