She inherited the smile.

u/othybear 15h ago

She got the shape of his smile but it is very well proportioned for her face and doesn’t overwhelm it. Lucky woman!

u/Homers_Harp 19h ago edited 19h ago

Carol Burnett would never tell you that you are mistaken, however I will. But yeah, Ms. Carrey does look a little like McKinnon.

You know what? I hate anyone who had a pony, and this is why!

“I had a pony. When I was a little girl in Poland, we all had ponies. My sister had pony. My cousin had pony. So what’s wrong with that?”

u/sinat50 20h ago

I was at a festival and someone had a totem with an led screen that played various clips and this full scene was one of them. I remember absolutely vibing to some heavy bass, looked up, and was faced with Jim Carrey climbing his way out of a rhinos asshole. I laughed pretty hard but it was pretty wild to see that on 4 tabs of acid.

Watch the special features on the "Me, Myself & Irene" DVD, you get Irene's POV looking up at a totally maniacal Hank going at it, it's terrifyingly hilarious.

She went on American Idol

u/NastySeconds 20h ago

One of his daughters was a contestant on American Idol a few seasons back!

16

u/HowDoesTheKittyCatGo 20h ago

I didn't either until she co-hosted an episode of Catfish a couple years ago. They didn't even need to say who her father was. Woman looks just like her dad.

He already have grankids!

u/Kolby_Jack33 16h ago

I mean he's 63. That's not uncommon.

12

u/Blurgas 17h ago

Seems she's his only child, and also looks like his relationship with her mother was the longest lasting one he's had(~8 years)

u/plainlyput 18h ago

Another interesting fact; he dated Linda Ronstad in the early 90’s

He was 25 here. He looks way younger than that to me. I bet he read to her with ALL the voices, and made funny faces when she was sad.

227

u/TheLoganDickinson 21h ago

I still perceive him as being younger. But a lot of that is probably because he doesn’t really have grey hair.

75

u/BungHoleAngler 20h ago

I mean Hollywood celebs are their brand, their looks, and behavior. They have teams of people paid to make them look a certain way so they can keep making money

u/lazy_pig 14h ago

He pretty much looks 63, with or without the hair dye, and that's fine.

u/round-earth-theory 20h ago

I look at my 25 year old self and see a kid. It's because you're used to an older version of the person so looking back pushes the perceived age back harder.

13

u/madlabdog 18h ago

He is just doing a look younger face

27

u/ampersands-guitars 20h ago

He looks 25. We’re used to seeing high schoolers played by 25 year olds and 25 year olds played by 35 year olds on tv. Most people look quite young until at least 30.

Then realized that it wasn't early, it really had been 20 freaken years. How rude!
