‘He worked on his speech in French for months’: César awards boss rejects Jim Carrey clone conspiracy theories

Gregory Caulier has attempted to quash rumours that Mask actor was replaced by a heavily made-up impersonator for his appearance picking up an honorary award in Paris

The organiser of the Cesar awards has sought to debunk reports that a lookalike stood in for Jim Carrey at last week's ceremony.

In a statement sent to Variety on Monday, Gregory Caulier, general delegate of the Cesars, said the controversy was a non-issue" and testified to Carrey's investment in the event, which had been in the planning since last summer.
