The Role So Absurd It Made Jim Carrey Receive CIA Training

Jim Carrey is known for taking on unusual characters, but one specific role required particularly unusual preparation. During the production of "Me, Myself & Irene", released in 2000, the actor had to undergo specialized training to understand aspects linked to investigations and operational behavior used by government agents. Although the comedy was far from being a traditional spy thriller, the filmmakers sought to make certain situations more convincing. Carrey delved deeply into the preparation process, studying techniques and methods that would not normally be associated with a humorous production. The result was yet another example of the actor's commitment to his characters, even when playing seemingly absurd roles. The story remains one of the most unusual behind-the-scenes curiosities of his career.
