Jim Carrey masters basic Korean

Washington (ANI): Actor Jim Carrey is certainly a perfectionist when it comes to actor—the actor has mastered basic Korean for a scene in his new movie Yes Man. The comic-genius was required to converse in Korean with a bridal saleswoman for a scene in the comedy.

And the funnyman took it as an opportunity to get to grips with a language he'd always been interested in. "It took about four weeks of every day studying it phonetically. It was so difficult. It was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life," Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

He added: "I had a Korean coach who literally was afraid to go back to Korea if I got it wrong. He's telling me, No, this is serious. I will be hurt.'
