Renowned makeup artist and drag performer Alexis Stone suggested on social media that he may have appeared in place of actor Jim Carrey at the recent César Film Awards 2026 in Paris, reports customreceipt.com. Stone shared a photo on his Instagram account showing Carrey on the red carpet, accompanied by a caption reading, “Alexis Stone as Jim Carrey in Paris.” The post included a close-up of a mask, teeth, and wig resembling the actor’s iconic look from The Mask.
The statement immediately sparked intense reactions online. Some followers appeared convinced that the transformation was real, while others dismissed it as a publicity stunt or outright hoax, and many demanded video evidence from Stone. Several commentators speculated that the image of the mask might have been artificially generated using AI. Among the responses, actress and model Megan Fox weighed in, writing, “I cannot handle the suspense anymore, I need to know if this is true.”
Alexis Stone has gained recognition for his hyper-realistic celebrity transformations. His previous impersonations have included actress Glenn Close, fashion journalist Anna Wintour, singer Lana Del Rey, designer Donatella Versace, and actor Jack Nicholson.
The controversy adds to ongoing discussions surrounding Jim Carrey’s appearance at the 51st César Awards in Paris. Fans have noted a striking change in the actor’s visage, with some speculating about possible plastic surgery and others questioning whether Carrey was physically present at the event at all.
