Jim Carrey Faces Backlash for Implying Margot Robbie’s Success is Due to Looks

Jim Carrey, aged 58, received criticism for his comments suggesting that Margot Robbie owes her successful career to her appearance, labeling the interaction as ‘rude' and ‘awkward'.

The incident occurred during their joint appearance on The Graham Norton Show to promote their latest movie projects.

While discussing his new film Sonic The Hedgehog, Jim took a moment to compliment Margot, aged 29, before controversially remarking on her perceived physical advantages.

He expressed amazement at her accomplishments despite what he described as ‘obvious physical disadvantages', followed by a seemingly sarcastic praise, stating it as a display of ‘pure talent'.

In an attempt at humor, Jim proceeded to sing a customized song for Daniel Kaluuya, playfully incorporating the actor's name into Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah melody.

Margot reacted with laughter to Jim's banter, but viewers were quick to criticize the exchange, deeming it ‘rude', ‘awkward', and ‘creepy'.

Social media platforms buzzed with disapproval towards Jim Carrey's remarks, with one individual expressing discomfort at the actor's behavior and acknowledging Margot's composed response.

Others echoed similar sentiments, highlighting Margot's dignified reaction in the face of what they perceived as condescension and impoliteness from Jim.

Despite the backlash, some defended Jim Carrey's intentions, interpreting his comments as a form of praise towards Margot's achievements rather than an insult.

They argued that Jim's critique was directed more towards Hollywood norms rather than Margot herself, emphasizing the positive aspect of his remarks.

While the controversy surrounding Jim's comments dominated discussions, Margot Robbie shifted the focus to the empowering aspects of her latest project, Birds Of Prey.

The Australian actress celebrated the significant female representation in both the cast and crew of the Suicide Squad spin-off, emphasizing the rarity of an all-female ensemble in an action film, coupled with female leadership behind the scenes.

Margot expressed her enthusiasm for the project, labeling it a testament to ‘girl power' due to the inclusive production team that consisted of predominantly women.

She emphasized the collaborative effort that went into bringing the film to fruition and highlighted the excitement of showcasing their work to audiences worldwide.

Additionally, Margot shared her enjoyment of portraying Harley Quinn, emphasizing the immense fun she derives from the role.
