During an interview with Variety in April 2020, The Weeknd discussed his bond with Carrey. Mutual admirers were acquainted by text message, and the singer then asked the actor to his house to listen to some music.
“I texted him the address of my condo in L.A., and he said, ‘I can literally see your place from my balcony,’ and we got out telescopes and were waving to each other,” The Weeknd told Variety, noting that he was a huge fan of Carrey’s 1994 film The Mask. “Jim Carrey was my first inspiration to be any kind of performer, and I went to breakfast with him on my first day of being 30.”
The “Trilogy” singer quickly responded to Carrey’s post and said, “Thank you for being a part of this. It’s kismet. Full circle.”
