FUNNY MAN

Jim Carrey (left, in 1985) used to be known mostly for his flamboyant humor and extreme facial contortions. Though Carrey (right, in London in June) is still quite the funny man, he has shown a softer side onscreen in movies such as 1999's Man on the Moon and 2001's The Majestic, beefed up his bod and landed a series of babes – most recently, Danish model Betina Holte.
