How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) Did you know many of the Grinch’s funniest insults and sarcastic lines weren’t in the script? 😆💚 Jim Carrey was encouraged to improvise freely during takes — Ron Howard often let him keep talking until he finally yelled “Cut!” The result was a stream of brilliantly chaotic lines that gave the Grinch his iconic personality. Description Jim Carrey’s performance relied heavily on spontaneity and comedic instinct. Instead of sticking strictly to the script, Carrey riffed through jokes, mutters, and improvised rants inside the heavy prosthetic makeup. This approach added an unpredictable energy to the character — making the Grinch feel mischievous, sharp-tongued, and wonderfully alive.
