He’s almost 62 — but he’s still sexy.
Jim Carrey rocked a new long hairdo Wednesday as he dined with a bevy of famous friends ahead of his birthday.
“The Grinch” star, who turns 62 on Jan. 17, was photographed leaving San Vicente Bungalows restaurant in West Hollywood with Jimmy Kimmel, Adam Sandler, Seth Green, Jeff Ross, Dustin Hoffman, and Bill Burr.
Throughout the evening, the “Truman Show” star appeared in high spirits as he spent time with his pals.
The soon-to-be-birthday boy was seen loading a gift and cake into his SUV as he departed the venue.
Kimmel’s appearance at Carrey’s party came as Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers suggested the late-night host would be included on the list of Jeffrey Epstein’s associates, which was released this week. Kimmel’s name did not appear on any of the legal docs.
In 2017, Carrey memorably appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and called out the Illuminati, which he claimed Kimmel, 56, knew a lot about.
Meanwhile, Sandler, 57, appeared on Kimmel’s show in 2020 and recalled calling Carrey from the movie theater to tell him how funny he was in “Sonic the Hedgehog!”
“I called Carrey from the theater. I was telling him how funny he was while it was going on. I didn’t know it was going to be the last movie I ever saw at a movie theater,” he said, referring to the COVID-19 shutdowns.
But Sandler isn’t the only one of Carrey’s party pals to publicly praise his comedy prowess.
In a 2021 interview with Bert Kreischer, Burr called Carrey’s comedic ability “brilliant’ and gushed over his star power.
“His movies [make] over $30 million in one f–king weekend. But he still has to [go down] and audition,” the “Breaking Bad” actor said.
Burr and Carrey also appeared on “Saturday Night Live” together in October 2020.
Meanwhile, Hoffman, 86, has been friends and Carrey for two decades. They worked together on 2004’s “Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events.”
Carrey — who is a Canadian native — recently confessed that he will not be reprising his role as “The Grinch” in an upcoming sequel based on the famous Dr. Seuss character.
The funnyman starred in the original Ron Howard movie, which was released in 2000 and grossed almost $350 million at the box office.
A report from Giant Freaking Robot claimed last year that Carrey would return for Universal pictures’ “The Grinch 2.”
However, Carrey’s rep told People that “there is no truth to Jim reprising his role as the Grinch in a sequel to ‘The Grinch.’”
Last April, Carrey divulged that he longed to take a step back from acting after the release of “Sonic the Hedgehog 2.”
He told “Access Hollywood” at the time that he was “fairly serious” about retiring from Hollywood.
“Well, I’m retiring. Yeah, probably. I’m being fairly serious,” Carrey said. “It depends. If the angels bring some sort of script that’s written in gold ink that says to me that it’s going to be really important for people to see, I might continue down the road, but I’m taking a break.”
The “Dumb and Dumber To” star counted: “I really like my quiet life and I really like putting paint on canvas and I really love my spiritual life and I feel like — and this is something you might never hear another celebrity say as long as time exists — I have enough. I’ve done enough. I am enough.”
