Carrey: Bee Gees and torture expert got me through Grinch make-up hell

Hollywood star Jim Carrey has told how he was given training from an expert who advised the CIA on dealing with torture as he coped with a gruelling make-up regime in one of his movies.

The star had to endure a “horrendous” daily ordeal lasting eight-and-a-half hours as he prepared for his performance in children’s film The Grinch.
