After attending the French awards show, Carrey’s changed appearance sparked widespread speculation online. Some fans even claimed he had been replaced by a clone.

Speaking to media, McCarthy said, "It was definitely Jim Carrey who attended the César Awards. He looked happy, and I was happy for him." She dismissed the clone rumors entirely.

Her husband, Donnie Wahlberg, added that people focus too much on Carrey’s appearance instead of noticing his joy during the event.

The actor, 64, made a rare public appearance to accept his honorary César Award and gave his speech entirely in French.
