- He commented on the situation in a recent interview.
Who knew that Benito Mussolini had a granddaughter? Jim Carrey found out via social media when tweeted a picture of the fascist dictator and his mistress, Claretta Petacci, hanging by their feet. In case you missed it, the caption read, “If you’re wondering what fascism leads to, just ask Benito Mussolini and his mistress Claretta.”
Alessandra Mussolini, a member of European Parliament, responded with a tweet of her own. She told Jim, “You are a bastard.”
When asked about the Twitter spat, Jim said, “It’s a little disconcerting that she’s in government, not because she’s in government, but because she’s obviously still embracing evil.” He went on to add, “She can always flip the cartoon upside down. And it looks like her grandfather is jumping for joy because he just got the head count. There’s her solve right there. Just turn it upside down. Turn that frown upside down.”
