Jim Carrey recently stated that he’s likely retiring from acting after reprising his role as Dr. Robotnik in “Sonic the Hedgehog 2.” However, his retirement was short-lived due to financial reasons. Carrey admitted that he played a genius in “Sonic” movies because it allows him to earn money, despite initial claims of returning only for scripts written in gold ink. He previously starred as Robotnik in the 2020 film and again for this month’s release of “Sonic the Hedgehog 3.”
