You’re gonna need to eyeball this one.
A TikToker has identified a continuity mistake spotted in the vacation favorite “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” starring Jim Carrey.
The TikTok — which was posted Tuesday and gained 3 million views — shows the scene after the Grinch wreaked havoc in Whoville, with the error cominig when Carrey’s eyes go from brown to amber.
“Each time I watch the Grinch I notice this one little mistake they made whether or not they forgot to either put his contacts in or to edit them in afterwards,” said TikTok user @redcobweb. “So just Jim Carrey’s brown eyes are only there. And in the subsequent scene, they’re back to that.”
The revelation shocked many fans of the vacation classic.
“I JUST SCREAMED I NEVER SAW THIS AHAHAH,” screamed one user.
“Tbh it really works pretty okay without the contacts lmao,” one other person said.
“No wonder he looks so different in that scene I can never understand why… now I do know,” said a 3rd person.
In line with a commenter, one reason for the change might need been attributable to Carrey, who loathed the green fur and body paint a lot that he took his frustration out on the makeup department — forcing three-time Oscar nominee Kazuhiro Tsuji to quit the film.
Tsuji late rejoined the production on the condition that Carrey behaves himself and the production promised to assist him get his green card.
