Overview
- Makeup artist Alexis Stone posted an Instagram carousel titled “Alexis Stone as Jim Carrey in Paris,” including event photos plus a mask, wig and dental prosthesis, which reignited speculation.
- Delegate general Gregory Caulier told Variety the visit was arranged since last summer, with Carrey practicing French for months and arriving with his partner, daughter, grandson and close friends.
- Caulier added that longtime publicist Marleah Leslie accompanied the trip and that friend Michel Gondry was present at the ceremony.
- Leslie confirmed to CNN that Carrey personally accepted the honorary César, rejecting claims that a stand‑in or clone appeared on stage.
- No independent evidence supports the impersonation theory, while some commenters now suggest Stone’s posted images could be manipulated and continue to press for additional proof.
