Jim Carrey is a household name after appearing in The Mask, Dumb and Dumber and The Truman Show, and portraying Joe Biden on Saturday Night Live – but now he’s relocated to Hawaii on an acting break

The Hollywood actor just listed his Brentwood mansion in LA for sale – his ‘magical sanctuary’ for the last 30 years – for US$26.5 million, featuring classic Californian indoor-outdoor living

One of the world’s greatest comedy stars, Jim Carrey’s expressive face and high-energy slapstick performances propelled him to success in the Dumb and Dumber, The Mask and Ace Ventura franchises.

Far from being typecast as a jokester, the Canadian-born actor would go on to achieve critical acclaim for dramatic roles in The Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

The winner of two Golden Globes and 11 MTV movie and TV awards, he has also published an award-winning children’s book, co-wrote the novel Memoirs and Misinformation, and portrayed Joe Biden on Saturday Night Live.

In 2022, he announced that he was taking a break from acting and was considering retirement. The prolific star has relocated to his holiday property in Maui and put the Brentwood estate where he had lived for the last 30 years up for sale.

Now listed for US$26.5 million, reduced from US$28.9 million, the sprawling ranch-style mansion is nestled behind huge hedges and private red-brick gates. The 12,700 sq ft home features five bedrooms, six full bathrooms and three half baths.

The stylish residence’s pitched high-beam ceilings offer tonnes of airflow, while skylights let in plenty of natural light to bathe the bright white walls and Carrey’s extensive art collection, including his own impressive creations.
