:Model Answer

I would like to tell you about a silly, versatile actor from my country called Jim Carrey. He’s an American actor

I first saw him in the movie “Dumb and Dumber” when I was about 8 years old. I thought the faces he made were really hilarious. Since then, I started following his movies. What I like about him is that he can nail both a serious and comedy role in movies. In real life, I hear he leads a hippy sort of life. He discusses the universe a lot and says that he wants a simple life opposed to the luxurious life he could have. I’ve seen recent photos of him with a long, unkept gray beard. This makes him appeal to me even more because he’s not the average star

He’s popular for all of his hit films, and especially his over-the-top faces and voices he is able to do. I think others also appreciate that he can make you crack up laughing in one film, then make burst into tears in the next
