The actor, who is dating actress Jenny McCarthy, says he overcame depression without medication.

Jim Carrey: Jenny's Son Taught Me How to Love

Originally posted 06/04/2008 04:30PM

Jim Carrey credits girlfriend Jenny McCarthy's son, Evan, for teaching him how to love.

As he led 8,500 people through the streets of Washington, D.C., Wednesday, hand-in-hand with his daughter, Jane, McCarthy and Evan, the actor told PEOPLE, "He taught me how to love. And without Evan I might never have seen the greatness of Jenny's spirit."

Carrey added to the families, lawmakers and other activists gathered to raise awareness about toxins in vaccines that McCarthy is "the source of all that is good" in his life.

That, he explained to PEOPLE, is how he ended up on the frontline of a political movement. "Jenny's friends would kind of hint around and say, 'Hey, it would be kind of cool if you got involved in this,' and I thought to myself, 'This is just so inevitable. This just can't not happen.' If you care about the planet and about children, you have to."

"There are so many things," the actress, 35, told PEOPLE in Los Angeles Wednesday night at the Grey Goose-sponsored party for Chelsea Handler's new book, Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea.

For starters, she cited Carrey's "capacity to love and to take on something that most men would completely run away from."

McCarthy, who revealed her 5-year-old son Evan's condition nearly a year ago on The View and published a book about their experiences, Louder Than Words: A Mother's Journey in Healing Autism, said of Carrey, 46: "He could have any 20-year-old perfect girl with perfect breasts, and he stays. He has really opened his heart and his life to us. I'll forever be grateful."
