James Eugene Carrey (/ˈkæri/; born January 17, 1962) is a Canadian and American actor and comedian. Known primarily for his energetic slapstick performances, he has received two Golden Globe Awards, in addition to nominations for BAFTA Awards and Screen Actors Guild Awards. After spending the 1980s honing his comedy act and playing supporting roles in films, Carrey gained recognition when he was cast in the Fox sketch comedy series In Living Color (1990–1994). He broke out as a film star after starring in a string of box office hits, such as Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask, Dumb and Dumber (all 1994), Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, and Batman Forever(both 1995). The success of these five films led to Carrey being the first comic actor to receive an upfront $20 million salary for performing in films, beginning with The Cable Guy (1996). Carrey continued to have success as a leading actor in comedies such as Liar Liar (1997), How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000), Bruce Almighty (2003), Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004), and Yes Man (2008). Since the 2010s, Carrey appeared in fewer films, with notable works including Dumb and Dumber To (2014) and his role as Doctor Eggman in the Sonic the Hedgehog film series (2020–present). Although typecast mainly as a comedic actor, Carrey had success in dramatic roles. His critically acclaimed performances include the title role in The Truman Show (1998) and Andy Kaufman in Man on the Moon (1999), for which he won Golden Globe Awards. He starred in the romantic drama film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), for which he was nominated for a BAFTA Award and another Golden Globe. Carrey also starred in the Showtime tragicomedy series Kidding (2018–2020), for which he received his seventh Golden Globe nomination.

Jafar, the Grand Vizier of the Sultan of the city of Agrabah, tries to access the Cave of Wonders, since inside there is an oil lamp containing a genie. However, he and his parrot Iago cannot enter and need Aladdin to be able to enter the cave. At the same time, Jasmine, the Sultan's daughter, flees the palace because she disagrees with her obligation to marry. It is there that she meets the young stray, Aladdin, and his monkey Abu, but both are captured by the vizier. However, Jafar decides to free Aladdin and Abu because he needs them to enter the Cave of Wonders. When they arrive there, they find a magic carpet and later discover the lamp, until the cave begins to collapse after Abu's attempt to steal a jewel. At that moment, they almost manage to get out but before leaving Jafar asks for the lanpara and Aladdin gives it to him and asks for help to get out and Jafar kicks him but without realizing it Abu stole the lanpara. Thus Aladdin, Abu and the carpet do not manage to escape, when the protagonist unconsciously rubs the lamp and the Genie appears. He is willing to grant Aladdin three wishes, although Aladdin manages to trick him into getting them out of the place without spending any. After leaving, he promises that one will be to free him, but in the meantime he asks to be turned into a prince to try to get Jasmine to notice him.
