Although many people consider Jim Carrey to be one of the greatest performers of all time, he received no compensation for one particular picture.

I believe it is clear that the 62-year-old is well-paid, having been in several blockbuster films over the years.

From Dumb & Dumber and Batman Forever to The Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Carrey’s filmography is rather spectacular.

And he is worth an incredible $180 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

However, the actor initially received no compensation for appearing in one of his lesser-known films.

Peyton Reed’s 2008 comedy Yes Man tells the tale of Carl, a man who discovers he says “no” too frequently.

I mean, we all have those ‘f**k it’ moments, but Carl decides to say ‘yes’ to everything, resulting in a series of entertaining but terrible situations.

While the film was budgeted at $70 million, Warner Bros. did not have to pay Carrey’s salary from that amount.

Instead, the actor appears to have opted to take a different approach to his pay for the 2000s picture.

According to reports, Carrey received 36.2% of the movie’s total revenue.

People viewed the decision as a gamble because Yes Man could have failed spectacularly, leaving Carrey with little to show for his efforts.

However, because the comedy was a box office blockbuster and brought in $223 million globally, estimates place the actor’s earnings between $35 million and $50 million.

While Carrey seems to love working on Yes Man, he has one film that he regrets producing.

The release of Kiss-Ass 2 came at a sensitive time, not because the film itself was flawed.

Carrey shot the picture a month before the Sandy Hook Massacre, a national tragedy in which a shooter murdered 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, United States.

Carrey told X in June 2013: “I did Kick-Ass a month before Sandy Hook, and now, in all good conscience, I cannot support that level of violence.”

“I wanted to apologize to others involved in the film. I’m not embarrassed of it, but recent events have changed my heart.”
