Taylor Momsen Reunites With Jim Carrey 25 Years After ‘The Grinch’
Taylor Momsen, frontwoman of The Pretty Reckless, reunited with actor Jim Carrey at Saturday’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, marking their first meeting in a quarter of a century.
The pair first worked together on the 2000 film How the Grinch Stole Christmas, where Momsen played Cindy Lou Who. Momsen shared with reporters that Carrey was “very protective” of her during filming and always “very kind,” adding that watching his dedication to his craft left a “powerful, lasting impact” on her. “As a young person watching an artist at work and taking their craft so seriously, that left a really powerful, lasting impact on me as an adult now,” she said.
Carrey echoed the sentiment, telling reporters, “We haven’t seen each other since The Grinch.” Momsen confirmed, “Yeah, it’s been 25 years. This is insane.” Momsen has since transitioned from acting to a successful music career, and recently performed with surviving members of Soundgarden at the induction ceremony, demonstrating her continued presence in the entertainment industry.
