Carrey double has last laugh on paparazzi
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - He may be Hollywood’s man of a thousand faces, but comedian Jim Carrey decided to let someone else do the masquerading while on vacation in Israel this month.
The Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper said Carrey, who crossed into Israel from Egypt unannounced last week only to be photographed by border staff, hired a local lookalike to camp out at a luxury Jerusalem hotel and throw the paparazzi off his trail.
“I arrived at the hotel accompanied by bodyguards, registered under an assumed name, and wore the same shirt that Carrey wore in the picture that was published,” said the body double, Amir Garfunkel. “My job was to sit in the hotel room.”
Well you have to admit that was smart. I really don’t follow entertainment news (too much junk out there… and really who cares) but I have to say that was an ingnious way to throw off their trail.
