Carrey further added, "He was doing the voiceover work and stuff, but when I heard it, I was like, 'That is so in the pocket and perfect.' I mean, this beautiful stoic nature that he has, he really elevated it completely to from what I was even thinking it could be so I was super happy that he's involved. Because he's the man that every man aspires to be."
