Jim Carrey mocks Sean Hannity in new painting, but not everyone loved it
Jim Carrey is the chatter of the internet once again with his latest painting. This time, the 56-year-old actor likened a sea creature to a popular Fox News host who was caught in a scandal yesterday.
Carrey couldn’t help but taunt Sean Hannity after the TV host was named as one of Michael Cohen’s secret clients during a hearing in New York yesterday. The bombshell news had everyone talking in the media and, of course, on social media.
Hannity denied being Cohen’s client, saying on Twitter, “Michael Cohen has never represented me in any matter. I never retained him, received an invoice, or paid legal fees.”
Michael Cohen has never represented me in any matter. I never retained him, received an invoice, or paid legal fees. I have occasionally had brief discussions with him about legal questions about which I wanted his input and perspective.

Hannity’s denial didn’t stop Carrey from using the TV host as the subject of his most recent painting.

Others, however, have grown tired of the actor’s political art.
Draw something that’s not political or making fun of others.

Are you still painting by numbers or in the insane asylum and doing this for therapy……your painting sucks… And the sad part New Market Canada wants The U.S.A. to keep you…. We don't want you either

If I drew like an eight year old I wouldn't brag about it.
Maybe try to stop eating the crayons???

Carrey, though, shows little sign of stopping, given the prodigious number of artworks he’s released so far, with subjects including Donald Trump, Sara Sanders, Jared Kushner, Stormy Daniels, and several other political figures.
