Jim Carrey was once a broke comedian living out of his car in Los Angeles. One night in 1987, he parked on Mulholland Drive overlooking the city and wrote himself a cheque for $10 million - “for acting services rendered.” He dated it ten years into the future and kept it in his wallet as motivation. At the time, he was barely scraping by doing stand-up. But within a few years everything changed. After the massive success of Ace Ventura, The Mask, and Dumb and Dumber in 1994, Carrey became one of Hollywood’s biggest stars - eventually becoming the first actor to earn $20 million for a single film. Years later, after his father passed away, Carrey reportedly placed that old $10 million cheque in the coffin - a quiet tribute to the person who first believed in him. #hosted #pubity #viral
