Jim Carrey and Ariana Grande: A Celebrity Age-Gap Affair?

The “Did Jim Carrey and Ariana Grande hook up?” episode of the FluentlyFoward (video) podcast is logically, “[...] about the rumor of Ariana Grande hooking up with Jim Carrey.”

On the podcast, Shannon McNamara related that Carrey was Grande’s childhood crush, but it wasn’t until, approximately, 2019 did rumors circulate that the age-gap couple were “hooking up”. 

McNamara, “Basically, Ariana Grande [...] has always had Jim Carrey as her childhood crush for years [...] then around, I want to say, 2020, 2019, these blind items start coming out about them hooking up.”

What is McNamara’s evidence? On Live with Kelly [Ripa] and Michael [Strahan] (January 30, 2015), Strahan asked 22-year-old Grande to share her childhood crush, and she shared that it was 53-year-old “perfect” and “cute” Carrey. 

Strahan: “Your childhood crush. I'm going to try to get this out of you.” 

Grande: “My childhood crush, my lifelong crush, like kind of all just goes together. It's Jim Carrey. I love him so much. I love him so much.”

Kelly Ripa: “Do you still have a crush on him?”

Grande: “Yeah, I met him and I, like, cried. It was really weird. It was so weird. It was so, like, uncharacteristic of me. I'm usually, like, sort of chill and usually somewhat contained. But I met him and I was just like.

Strahan: “What did he do? What did he do?”

Grande: “He was like, oh my god, I was kind of nervous because I was like, you know, he's been my crush forever [...] And he was so over the top nice and perfect [sic] and just how I’d hoped he’d be [...] I was like, oh my god, you're so cute. I love you. I was like, wow, help me God.”


After showing a clip of Grande’s confession on Live with Kelly and Michael,  McNamara shared a “cute” video that was posted on Grande’s Instagram account. In the video, after 20-year-old Grande, who was wearing a sweater, sans pantalons, and a pair of white go-go boots, met 52-year-old Carrey for the first time on the White House lawn where she gave him a “cute” hug, shed tears and prayed, “Oh my God.” 


Subsequently, Grande posted an image of Carrey on her Instagram story with a quote from Carrey:

DEPRESSION IS YOUR BODY SAYING, “I DON'T WANT TO BE THIS CHARACTER ANYMORE. I DON'T WANT TO HOLD UP THIS AVATAR THAT YOU'VE CREATED IN THE WORLD. IT'S TOO MUCH FOR ME.”

YOU SHOULD THINK OF THE WORD “DEPRESSED” AS “DEEP REST.” YOUR BODY NEEDS TO BE DEPRESSED. IT NEEDS DEEP REST FROM THE CHARACTER THAT YOU'VE BEEN TRYING TO PLAY.”

JIM CARREY
THE WHOLE LOML
forever

Carrey replied to Grande’s story, via Twitter, by tweeting that he found her Instagram story “lovely” and that he felt “[...] blessed to have such a gifted admirer.”


Grande quote tweeted Carrey’s tweet by tweeting that Carrey had no idea how much she adored him and how much he meant to Grande:

thank u so much for your kindness. [black heart emoji] I don't think u understand how much i adore u or what u mean to me. thank u for taking the time to share this w me. you are such an inspiration. i can't wait to tattoo this tweet to my forehead. sending lots of love & all things happy. 

Grande didn’t tattoo Carrey’s tweet to her forehead, but she did get a tattoo of Carrey’s lines from  The Truman Show (1998).

In case I don't see ya
Good afternoon
Good evening
And good night!

In response to a clip from 2020 that McNamara shared of Grande and Carrey “beautifully” singing a duet on Kidding, Carrey’s Showtime comedy, McNamara implied that Grande and Carrey “should make love”.

McNamara, “I was kind of like, wait a minute, do I like them together? Like, any time two people sing beautifully together, I just, like, think that they should make love.”

After Grande’s appearance on Kidding, Carrey shared in an interview that Grande was “wonderful to be around.” Consequently, Grande posted a picture on Instagram of the (potential) age-gap couple hugging on the set of Kidding, and she wrote in the post that she “adored” Carrey as a nymphet, even before she could speak, but that Carrey was more “special and warm” than she “[...] ever could have imagined.”

I’ve been staring at my screen and no words do this moment justice. thankful for the most special experience of my life. nothing is crazier than getting to work with and spend time with someone whom you’ve idolized and adored since before you could speak. actually, what’s even crazier is discovering that person to be more special and warm and generous in person than you ever could’ve imagined.

As FluentlyForward’s a gossip slash blind item podcast, McNamara moved on from the more concrete evidence of a potential age-gap affair between Grande and Carrey to the blinds. A blind from a 2019 Crazy Days & Nights post alleged that Grande and Carrey were having sex, but it wasn’t clear if Carrey was going to leave his girlfriend for Grande.

I think we all knew the hooking up of the former A plus list mostly movie actor and the A-list singer was inevitable. The question is whether he dumps the girlfriend he cheated on the singer with or not. 

Interestingly, Grande released the song “break up with your girlfriend, i’m bored” - in 2019. Consequently, McNamara stated, “The song’s actually about Jim Carrey. Who the fuck knew?”

In the next blinds that McNamara read alleged that the age-gap celebrity couple had sex and did drugs. And that Grande kissed Carrey’s ass?

Of course the former A plus list mostly movie actor loves the A-list singer. They hooked up and she kissed his ass and took his drugs.

This former A plus list mostly movie actor is probably A, A-minus now with the big name recognition still. He has been hitting on an A-list singer who is much, much younger than him and offering her the best drugs if she wants to party with him. 

It’s not clear exactly when Grande’s childhood crush on Carrey began. Grande, an apparent teleiophile, inferred that it began before she could speak, but let’s assume that she was being hyperbolic. 

Interestingly, overall, McNamara appeared to condone Grande’s attraction to Carrey. For example, of Carrey, McNamara opined, “He really does have that charisma to him?”
