The actor played Steven Russell in the 2009 film opposite Ewan McGregor and while some actors may have hesitated in taking on a gay role Carrey says didn’t have any concerns over the role and had no problems acting out the gay sex scenes within the film.

“As soon as I read the script...it was a no-brainer for me that I had to do it. There were some people in my life that were saying: ‘You really want to do that? You really want to do that scene? I mean, honestly, that’s going to stick in people’s minds.’ And I said, ‘Exactly. I want to do things that stick in people’s minds.

I think Steven Russell was a man who’s on a journey of love, trying to prove his own worth to himself and the world. He’s a rather obsessive character in his approach to things. What I loved about him was that he was relentless when it came to love. He would do anything to get what he needs. He’s broken out of prison several times.” - 

Carrey also discussed having to kiss co-star Ewan McGregor for the role in the film.

“I just looked at him like a person I love, a person I admire, a person I respect, and a person I needed to fulfill me and make me feel whole, basically.” - Jim Carrey in the Chicago Tribune.
