Jim Carrey on why he returned for Sonic 3: 'I bought a lot of stuff and I needed the money'

Jim Carrey is being brutally honest. The actor, 62, got candid on what motivated him to reprise his role as the villainous Dr. Robotnik in the upcoming action adventure movie “Sonic the Hedgehog 3.” “You know, I came back to this universe because, first of all, I get to play a genius. Which is a bit of a stretch,” Carrey told the Associated Press at the film’s UK premiere in London on Dec. 10. “And, you know, it’s just I bought a lot of stuff, and I need the money, frankly.”
