Funnyman Jim Carrey reportedly looked unrecognizable when he crept out of hiding for his recent 62nd birthday bash, RadarOnline.com has learned.
According to a recent report, sources claim worried friends are rallying around Carrey in an attempt to lift his spirits.
Insiders alleged since the onetime A-lister ditched his Hollywood career to focus on becoming an artist he's become a bizarre ruminating recluse.
"He's been spending a ton of time in Hawaii, hiding away and showing very little interest in anything Hollywood has to offer," a source told the National Enquirer.
The source said that the actor's recent behavior has sparked concern among his inner circle.
"It's a big worry for the many folks who care about Jim, who's had some seriously rough moments these past few years," the insider said before noting, "He tends to self-isolate and lock himself away."
"You only have to look at him to see he's taken a beating, both physically and mentally!" the tipster added.

The Dumb and Dumber star was seen emerging from the private restaurant and club San Vicente Bungalows on January 5, sporting long hair and a disheveled look after celebrating with pals, including Jimmy Kimmel, Dustin Hoffman, Adam Sandler and Seth Green.
"His friends are worried and that's why they're pulling out the stops to make him feel special," a spy dished.
Sources further claimed Carrey's had a particularly rough time with romance, citing two divorces — from actresses Melissa Womer and Lauren Holly — and a broken engagement with Renée Zellweger, as well as numerous flame-outs with gal pals, including Cathriona White, who committed suicide in 2015.

"Essentially, he's been single ever since and prefers a solitary life away from the limelight working on his painting," the source said. "He has no plans to return to movies, but friends are still trying to cheer him up. He's such a vulnerable soul!"

Carrey reduced his home's listing price from $28,900,000 to $26,500,000.
