He has a lot of iconic movies under his belt and but the two-time Golden Globe winner is also a devoted family man and daddy.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-became-homeless\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Became homeless<\/h2>\n<p>Given his difficult background, Jim knows how important family is and he didn\u2019t want to make the same mistakes as his own parents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had an odd childhood, it was a lot more messed up than I thought, apparently,\u201d Jim Carrey said in 2003.<\/p>\n<p>The famous actor was born in 1962 in Newmarket, Ontario, Canada, and was raised a Roman Catholic with his three older siblings. Growing up, Jim\u2019s family moved around a lot and lived in the suburbs of Toronto. Carrey was reclusive as a child he \u201dnever knew he was supposed to socialise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When he was eight, the natural-born comedian started making faces in front of the mirror and discovered he had a talent for doing impressions.<\/p>\n<p>His mom and dad struggled financially, and it was hard for everyone in the family. As a kid, Jim did what he could to cheer them up \u2013\u00a0he used to go to bed with his tap shoes just in case his parents needed a little laughter\u00a0in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-why-he-lived-in-a-tent\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why he lived in a tent<\/h2>\n<p>But even though Jim tried to fill the house with laughter, the family received a heavy blow when his father lost his job at 51.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dIt really broke his heart. It was hard to watch,\u201d Jim told the Edmonton Journal in 1995.<\/p>\n<div id=\"newsner-29c05852356a4af6593d23c6a20b0491\" class=\"newsner-29c05852356a4af6593d23c6a20b0491 newsner-amp_article_inside_content\">With his family in free fall, Jim dropped out of high school to help support his mother and father. For a while, the whole family worked as janitors and security guards, doing eight-hour shifts at a local wheel-rim factory.<\/div>\n<p>But it was a toxic workplace; the family hated working there and soon realized they were losing themselves to their anger. They quit but then they had no place to live. His mom and dad moved into their Volkswagen, and Jim and his brother spent months living in a tent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor a while, we pitched a tent on my sister\u2019s lawn in the country. And then for a while, we went to campsites around Ontario. And we\u2019d use the facilities there and we actually had a lot of fun. We had more fun there than we did when we were doing this job that we didn\u2019t like,\u201d Jim said.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-why-he-resented-his-parents\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why he resented his parents<\/h2>\n<p>When Jim turned 17, he could support his family by performing comedy at different clubs in downtown Toronto. Unfortunately, during his whole upbringing, the family\u2019s financial situation made it hard for Jim to fulfill his dream of pursuing a career in the show business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m so grateful we have\u00a0Jim Carrey.\u00a0Especially after the passing of Robin Williams.
