The 56-year-old seemed years younger than his last public appearance, having shaved off the bushy beard he sported last year and cut his hair. Jim has been through a traumatic couple of years, having faced a wrongful death lawsuit over the death of his late ex-girlfriend Cathriona White brought by her family. (Image: AFP/Getty Images) Cathriona took her own life in September 2015 and a coroner found various prescription drugs in her system, but her devastated estranged husband and mother alleged Jim had supplied the illegal substances Cathriona had used in her suicide. Jim was later cleared of all lawsuits after filing a counter suit that claimed Cathriona had attempted to extort him by threatening to falsely accuse him of giving her multiple STIs. Since then, the star of The Mask, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and The Truman Show has virtually become a recluse, only emerging to film a Netflix special and to talk occasionally about his art.

The couple met on the set of their TV show Kidding, for which Jim received a Best TV Actor In A Musical Or Comedy nomination - although he lost out to Michael Douglas for The Kominsky Method. Speaking about his new love on the red carpet, Jim gushed: "She's not only beautiful, she's wickedly talented and amazing and smart." (Image: Getty Images) (Image: Getty Images) Jim also managed to steal the show inside the awards ceremony, after Golden Globes hosts Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg told him he wasn't allowed to sit with the rest of the movie nominees. "I am seeing Jim Carrey sitting up front tonight in the movie section even though he's nominated for a TV show," Killing Eve star Sandra told the audience. "That's not going to work, I am so sorry, Jim but we are going to have to ask you to vacate the movie section and go sit with the TV folk," Brooklyn Nine-Nine's Andy told him from the stage. (Image: Getty Images for InStyle) A flabbergasted Jim asked if they were joking, before standing up and making his way to the back of the room. He asked if he should take his dinner plate with him, joking that he didn't want to "leave any DNA in the film section". As a security guard walked over to escort him to his new section, Jim pretended he couldn't hear the hosts apologising. (Image: WireImage) "I'm sorry, I can't hear you. I see your lips moving but there's a delay, it takes a long time for the sound to get this far," he quipped, before holding up two tumblers to his face as makeshift glasses. Fans at home were in stitches at his comedy routine, claiming Jim was finally back on top. "Please let Jim Carrey host the Oscars thank you, bye," one begged, "JIM CARREY BACK TO BEING PEAK JIM CARREY, 2019 IS TRULY MAGICAL," another tweeted. And a third insisted: "And just like that @JimCarrey just won the entirety of the @goldenglobes! Nothing else matters."<doc-sep>The actor gushed over his new girlfriend at the Golden Globes ceremony on Sunday Crazy in Love!
