Carrey's parents fell on hard times when Jim was 13 years old. His father lost his job and was forced to move to the Toronto suburb of Scarborough, where they took security and janitorial jobs in the Titan Wheels factory at 1051 Tapscott Rd (now IPSCO Ontario). The Carreys lived in a historical house located on site. Carrey attended Blessed Trinity Catholic School in North York for two years, then began at Agincourt Collegiate Institute, Scarborough's oldest high school. For a time the family was in such financial straits that they lived in their Volkswagen van or in a tent on a relative's lawn. In order to help out, Carrey began working eight-hour shifts each day after school. The long hours exhausted Carrey, giving him little time to focus on homework and studies, this took a major toll on Carrey's grades, as he was a good student prior to these hard times. He once wrote a check worth $20 million, hoping one day to cash it in. A few years after that, his father died. He then placed the check he wrote to himself inside the pocket of his father's funeral clothes. | |
