Jim Carrey gave some seriously good advice in a college speech

The actor dropped his goofy persona to give us some hard truths.

NOTORIOUSLY GOOFY ACTOR Jim Carrey got down to brass tacks in an emotional commencement speech at Maharishi University in Iowa last month.

In it, he spoke of how his father inspired him to follow his dreams and advised the students not to ‘play it safe’.

Here’s is just one minute of his speech – it’s pretty hard-hitting:

And after that, you may as well watch the new Dumb and Dumber To trailer to restore balance to the world:

Yup. Balance firmly restored.
