Jim Carrey amuses fans with Dumb & Dumber chipped tooth

Jim Carrey has opted to not cover up his famous chipped tooth, which he displayed in the DUMB & DUMBER comedy, now he's back on set in Georgia for the film's sequel - in order to amuse fans.

Nearly 20 years after the cult comedy classic was released, Carrey and his co-star Jeff Daniels are returning to the roles of lovable yet daft best friends for Dumb and Dumber To.

And Carrey is now proudly sporting his character Lloyd Christmas' prominent chipped front tooth again.

During an recently taped interview with talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, he explained that while he could have opted to cover up his dental deficiency in public and on TV, it's much more fun to show it off.

He revealed, "I just decided there's a moment in your life when you just gotta let your 'Lloyd' hang out.

"I have a bonding on it most of the time and now I don't. But I've decided to just live with it - it's fun. Because wherever I go, people laugh in my face and ask me to open beers for them and stuff. It's really kind of a blast."
