Speaking of the world’s most influential comedian, master Chaplin and ranks first, it is undisputed. As a comedy master who completely relies on body language to conquer the audience from the silent age, he transitions to laughter and laughter. In the sound film era, the precious spiritual wealth that Chaplin left to the world is incalculable.
In addition to Chaplin, many comedy stars have also been born in various countries, such as China’s Stephen Chow, British bean master Rowan Atkinson, and Canadian comedian Kim Carrie. If you talk about popularity, it doesn’t matter in terms of appearance or performance style. Look, Rowan Atkinson must be ranked above Jim Carrey and Stephen Chow.
Next, Jim Carrey, who was born in the same year as Stephen Chow, has a higher starting platform and has many world-famous works around him, such as "Inspecting Plane Head", " Truman's World ", "The Man on the Moon", and "Counterfeit" "God" and so on, left a large number of well-known masterpieces.
and Stephen Chow’s starting platform was indeed very high back then. The Hong Kong film scene, known as "Oriental Hollywood",In China, Stephen Chow’s comedies are indeed unparalleled. Unfortunately, since the decline of Hong Kong movies in the past two decades has been obvious, Stephen Chow has gradually deviated from Hong Kong-style nonsensical comedies in the later period. Therefore, from the perspective of the contrast of the times, Jim Carrey is still slightly stronger. Do you agree with me?
