Some well-known actors said that they developed celebrity sickness following their first significant success. Not everyone was able to get over it. People lost their fame, families, and careers. Some were eventually able to realize that they needed to put fame aside and focus on their careers.
Jim Carrey, a well-known actor, was unable to resist celebrity fever at the beginning of his career. His marriage was devastated by it. Jim had a child by this point as well.
Jim Carrey became well-known thanks to “Ace Ventura.” Not just in his home nation but also outside of it, people became aware of him. The actor’s fame did not last forever. He started to indulge in outrageous behavior.
Jim’s wife initially put up with his pranks while working to calm down her famous husband. Kerry remained unchanged, and things continued to become worse.
His wife divorced him. Both the actor and his wife found the divorce procedure to be quite difficult. The fact that the couple had a young daughter added complications to everything. They chose to carry out their joint parenting duties rather than subject the kid to psychological harm.
The performer, who had many fans, did not experience loneliness for very long after a public divorce. He remarried, but the union did not endure very long. Jim Carrey chose to maintain his coveted single status.
The actor was able to comprehend that a small person existed in his life. He started supporting his daughter’s artistic ambitions. She started writing novels after developing a love for music.
Despite moving in with her mother following the divorce, the girl’s connection with her father is the finest. They like working together and have a good understanding of one another.
The girl dislikes discussing who her father is in conversation. She does not want to be known just as the actor’s renowned actor’s kid.
Jim Carrey, on the other hand, reportedly became weary of his stardom. The actor’s lack of a social media account is at least one indication of this. His sole publicly accessible profile was on Twitter. Jim than just did it to keep an eye on his daughter’s life. Father and daughter are unable to speak as frequently as they would like because of their constant busyness.
The girl has developed into a genuine beauty and is no longer like the chubby youngster she once was.
10 Curiosities You Probably Didn’t Learn in Biology Class
The world is a big, wonderful place full of facts we never thought possible. For instance, if a pregnant mouse has a sudden medical issue, the fetus will send stem cells to heal the mother, increasing its chances of survival as well. Fetal stem cells have been found in human mothers as well, dubbed by science as microchimerism.
Bright Side dug up some more marvelous facts about nature and its creations, upholding our yearly resolutions to spread knowledge and joy.
1. The heart slows when your face touches water.
As mammals, we can’t breathe underwater, so as part of the mammalian dive reflex, our heart rate goes down in the water — more so if we go underwater. Even splashing the face with water makes the heart slow down, making it a great way to calm down.
2. Fungus can break down plastic in weeks.
It is said that in the future, there may be more plastic in the ocean than fish. This is why the plastic-eating fungus is great news, and there are around 50 new species of such fungi discovered already. One of the fungi discovered can digest plastic within 2 months, so there’s hope for us yet.
3. Newborn babies can support their own weight.
Newborn babies are strong — strong enough to be able to grasp things in their tiny fists and even support their weight as shown by an experiment done in the nineteenth century. Louis Robinson witnessed babies able to hang from a walking stick, from 10 seconds to 2 minutes and 35 seconds.
4. Koala fingerprints have been mistaken for human ones.
We’ve been told that our fingerprints are unique, and they are. But the fact remains that even though we share a common ancestor with the koala that was alive 100 million years ago, koala fingerprints look very similar to human fingerprints, as do chimpanzee fingerprints for that matter.
5. Snails can sleep for 3 years.
If you thought bears had it good with hibernation, meet the snail. Snails can sleep rather than hibernate for 3 years at a time without needing food. Of course, this is with some snail species, not all of them. Meanwhile, bears usually hibernate for just 4-8 months.
6. Sloths need 2 weeks to digest food.
Sloths don’t only move in slow motion — even their insides move slowly, ostensibly to preserve energy, which is why a sloth’s digestive system takes 2 weeks to process the food it ate. Plus, most of what it eats is indigestible, giving it very little energy from each slowly chewed mouthful.
On the other end of the spectrum lies the shrew, whose digestion takes mere minutes and is done so fast, not much of it is fully digested. This is the reason why shrews eat their own feces. They can die of starvation in a matter of hours if they don’t eat.
7. Your brain ignores seeing your nose.
We can see our nose all the time, it’s just that the brain tends to ignore it because it’s a constant visual stimulus. It’s the same with people who wear glasses. After a while, they simply stop noticing them.
8. Your forearm is the same length as your foot.
If you don’t have the time to try on a shoe, measure it from your elbow crease to your wrist. If it fits or is just a little smaller, it would fit your foot because the length of your forearm is the same as your foot. And this is just one of many human body ratios that are a marvel in themselves, including the fact that your femur bone is one-quarter your height.
9. You can “see” your white blood cells.
If you look up at a cloudless, bright blue sky and see some wiggly things at the periphery of your vision, you’ve just experienced the blue field entoptic phenomenon. The wiggly things are white blood cells moving in the fine blood vessels moving in front of the retina, at the back of the eye.
10. Human beings have striped skin, but only cats can see it.
Human beings have stripes and patterns on the skin too, and they are called Lines of Blaschko, name eponymously by the scientist who discovered them, Dr. Alfred Blaschko. These are closer to tiger stripes, forming more of a V-pattern fanning out from the center to the extremities. These lines are visible under UV light, a spectrum that cats can see too, which is why cats can see you as a striped being as well.
