Hollywood legend Jim Carrey has delighted fans after making an appearance at an awards ceremony in the City of Love earlier this week.The 64-year-old The Mask actor rocked up to the 51st edition of the Cesar Film Awards ceremony in Paris on Thursday (26 February), with the event marking his first public appearance since November of last year.Carrey could be seen donning a hairstyle noticeably longer than what many fans are used to, but he was still rocking his signature hair part.It seems quite a few fans reckoned Carrey looked ‘unrecognisable’, but the star has since been defended as people flocked to social media to gush over how ‘happy’ he looked.

“[He looks] unrecognisable,” penned one X user while another claimed: “You can’t even recognise him anymore.”A third questioned: “Why does he look like an old version of his younger self, but not just regular old him, Carrey? I can’t explain it.”Is that actually him?” echoed a fourth while a fifth declared: “I don’t know what it is, but he looks different.”Others, as we say, were far less bothered about his apparent appearance change with a sixth beaming: “Good to see him all smiles!””We love to see Jim this happy and at peace,” gushed another.And a final X user praised: “He’s looking good.”During yesterday’s awards ceremony, Canadian-American actor Carrey received a special honour, a Cesar d’honneur, in recognition of his acting career.He accepted the tribute with a speech delivered in French with a thick American accent.
