Jenny McCarthy has addressed the online conspiracy theory suggesting a clone of her ex-boyfriend, Jim Carrey, attended an award ceremony. The theory emerged after Carrey's appearance at the César Film Awards in Paris in February 2026, where he received an honorary award.
McCarthy's husband, Donnie Wahlberg, noted that the wild speculation overshadowed Carrey's evident happiness. "That's the part that, sadly, people miss. We're so obsessed with how he looks that we didn't consider how happy he looked," he said.
Carrey's representative and the awards organization confirmed his attendance, stating he prepared a French speech for months and was accompanied by family and friends. Similar unfounded clone theories have targeted other celebrities like Avril Lavigne in the past.
