Carrey is the big guest, so Norton talks to everyone else then brings Carrey out. Robbie looks really uncomfortable sitting next to Carrey. She had this look on her face like she did not want to seem impressed by Carrey's outrageous personality.

Carrey immediately picks up on this and sets her up with a compliment and then lands the bodyshot.

Carrey turns to Robbie:
"I wanted to talk to you because you're AMAZING and I'm so excited for you.
It’s incredible you got as far as you have with your obvious physical disadvantages.
That’s pure talent there.”


Pretty fricking funny to watch in real time.

Of course the tweeters are in two camps:
How dare Carrey make that sexist joke.
-and-
Why was Robbie creeped out by Carrey in the first place?

The fact that he's batshit insane probably didn't help put her at ease.

Carrey is insane and, with the success of Sonic, the world is being reminded of that.

Don’t let Jim Carrey’s career success and your nostalgia cloud your ability to see that Jim Carrey is an absolute nut case

He's an unhinged nut job. I'd be uncomfortable hanging out with him too.

Well, Carrey did kill his last GF, so I'm guessing that's why he creeped her out.

Carrey really nailed that sociopathic a-hole Dr. Robotnik in Sonic because he was just being himself.

BTW, I wish we had Graham Norton on in the states. I follow the show on social media and the clips are always fantastic.

Did it really flop though? 79% critic and audience scores on rotten tomatoes?

It was a back-handed compliment. While saying that she was attractive, he also might have been telling her that she made it into the business thanks almost entirely to her looks.

Because, let's be honest, she's insanely gorgeous. It's difficult to tell a face like that "no" after an audition.
