If you’re anything like me, you grew up loving Jim Carrey and prayed to one day be as comical and witty as him. Okay, maybe not as relatable as I thought. It’s the first day of December, which means its officially Christmas time! In other words: binge watch every single Christmas movie on Netlfix, Hulu, Crave and Disney Plus month!! Let’s spice things up today with some fun factoids about How the Grinch Stole Christmas.


  1. On the Graham Norton Show, Jim confessed that in order to endure the eight hours of heavy makeup and suit, he had to train with an officer who trains the CIA how to endure torture. Isn’t that wild? Many actors tend to put themselves in insane circumstances just to fulfill an acting role. Similar to Leonardo Dicaprio for his role in The Revenant where he legitimately had to go inside a dead horse’s carcass. 

  2. Although the movie was filmed at Universal Studios in Florida, Jim Carrey stayed true to his Canadian ethnicity according to this gag reel. The man probably said the words, “I’m sorry” more than he inhaled oxygen during the production of the movie.

  3. Similar to Whoville, Canada also has its very own Mount Crumpit! It’s located in the province of British Columbia and has a peak of 331 meters. Although it is located in Canada, I don’t think that’s where Jim Carrey lives, unfortunately.

  4. “Max” in the movie, aka the Grinch’s dog, was actually a female in real life, and her real name was Kelly. She’s also a rescue dog!

  5. The man who recorded the song, “You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch” for the television special of the book, is the same man who originated as the voice of Tony the Tiger (Thurl Ravenscroft). And while Ravenscroft wasn’t credited, it was commonly thought that Borlis Karloff sang the song.


Well that’s it for now! Which fact did you find the most shocking/interesting? Let us know down in the comments!
