Almost six million people have already seen the video: Jim Carrey recorded it himself – for his fans.

The Hollywood comedian turned 60 on Monday.

»I'm 60 and sexy!

And tonight there's corn puree and strained peaches," the Canadian said in the video he shared on Twitter.

He pretended he had no teeth left in his mouth.

He was celebrated as Hollywood's slapstick star in the 1990s with comedy hits such as "Ace Ventura - A Pet Detective", "The Mask", "Dumb and Dumber", "Cable Guy - The Annoyance" and "The Silly Talker".

Most recently, Carrey caught the eye in his role as Joe Biden on Saturday Night Live.

In the American sketch show, Carrey exchanged blows with Alec Baldwin as Donald Trump.

Carrey grew up in Ontario, Canada, as the youngest of four children.

At the age of 18, the high school dropout made the leap to Los Angeles, where he slowly made a name for himself on the club scene – until Hollywood caught his eye.
