Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Carrey was so committed he changed his production company's name to 'JC23 Entertainment' and had the number tattooed—temporarily, unlike Walter's permanent ink.
The '23 enigma' is a real numerology conspiracy; William S. Burroughs popularized it after a Captain Clark told him he'd piloted a plane 23 years before it crashed—flight 23.
