Acting in makeup does not seem as easy as one’s ability to act without makeup. There have been stories of people on Star Trek for example, whom had terrible experiences. Some wanted to quit, others had bad skin reactions.
It really goes to show the talent that Jim Carrey has as an actor. I’m sure that Grinch costume was extremely restrictive, but his Grinch is almost more expressive than the animated ones. Contrast that with Mike Myers’ Cat in the Hat, where The Cat emotes like he has daily botox injections, and you really start to get a picture of how much Carrey put into his performance.

It takes hours and hours to put it on, and take it off. And then theres 10 hours of acting in between.
I would have panic attacks too
As an aside. The guy who played Pinhead was in so many things as Pinhead he learned how to do the makeup himself.
Freak!
That’s pretty neat
Jennifer Lawrence gets a lot of shit for not being blue much after the first movie she was in but she also had a really bad reaction to the makeup
That’s why they killed off Z’an on Farscape, the blue makeup was apparently harming Virginia Hey’s kidneys so she had to quit the role.
Why would she be blue?
Da ba dee da ba di
What about her house and car?
It was all yellow
Ooooooooh Yeahhhhhhhhh
She played mystique in several X-Men movies. mystique is blue in her natural form
Oh neat. I never knew. Not super into superhero movies.
Just average into average hero movies then?
Honestly yeah. Like SkyHigh, ClockStoppers, Futureman
ClockStoppers
Goddamn…
