Jim Carrey Open to Returning as the Grinch if CGI Replaces Prosthetics

The actor reflects on the challenges of his iconic role and suggests modern technology could make a sequel possible.

Jim Carrey expressed interest in reprising his role as the Grinch, provided the character is created using CGI instead of heavy prosthetics and makeup.
Carrey described the original filming process as 'excruciating,' citing long hours in makeup and difficulty breathing in the costume.
The actor emphasized his motivation during the original film was the joy it brought to children, which he would consider again if a sequel is made.
Carrey previously announced plans to retire from acting but clarified he might return for projects he finds meaningful, such as a potential Grinch sequel.
No official plans for a sequel to 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas' have been confirmed, and Carrey's comments remain speculative at this time.
