First on set pics of I Love You Phillip Morris
Buffed-up Jim Carrey hits Miami with hunky co-star on his arm

As one of Hollywood's top comedy actors Jim Carrey has played a range of eclectic roles, from a cartoon superhero to a Batman villain to a pet detective. And the man of many faces has broken the mould once again with his latest part in I Love You Phillip Morris, which began filming this week in Miami.

Strutting down the street in a tight black t-shirt, white jeans and a gold lion-buckled belt, with his washboard-stomached Brazilian co-star Rodrigo Santoro on his arm, a clearly buffed up and fake-tanned Jim was almost unrecognisable in character as a camp con man in the prison break comedy.

Based on a true story, the flick follows the tale of married father Steven Russell - played by Jim - who ends up serving time after a run-in with the law. While inside he falls in love with his cellmate, Phillip Morris. When Phillip - portrayed by Star Wars actor Ewan McGregor - gets released, Jim's character tries to escape four times - leading to him being sentenced to 144 years behind bars.

To prepare for their latest celluloid offering, Jim, Ewan and Rodrigo apparently visited a local gay bar in Miami. "(They) looked like they were having a great time," says a source. "They were laughing and joking and looked as though they were really trying to get into character."

	Welcome back, Jim. This movie sounds awesome. I hope this movie brings him back to the A-list so Will Farrell can GTFO. Hack. (Reply to this) (Thread)(Expand)

	"They were laughing and joking and looked as though they were really trying to get into character." Or maybe they're just all actually gay. As in happy. Or as in anal-loving cumbuckets. (Reply to this)
