Comedian Jim Carrey said he felt blessed and heaped praise on Ariana Grande after he noticed the âThank U, Nextâ singer shared his quote about depression.
Over the past two years, Grande, 25, has been open about the trying experiences in her life.
In May 2017, a suicide bomber killed 22 people outside her concert in Manchester, England. Her ex-boyfriend, rapper Mac Miller, died from a suspected overdose in September and then she broke off her engagement to âSaturday Night Liveâ actor Pete Davidson.
The pop star broke down on stage last December and said sheâd had âthe worst year.â Last week, she even shared a screenshot of a brain scan on her Instagram story showing which areas appeared to be affected by post-traumatic stress disorder.
Then, on Saturday, Grande a black-and-white photo of the âAce Venturaâ actor overlaid with his comments about depression which he made during a in 2017.
"Depression is your body saying, 'I don't want to be this character anymore. I donât want to hold up this avatar that youâve created in the world. Itâs too much for me,'" his quote read. "You should think of the word 'depressed' as 'deep rest.' Your body needs to be depressed. It needs deep rest from the character youâve been trying to play."
She also that her first AOL instant messaging username had been âjimcarreyfan42â when she was in Grade 4. The Canadian actor didnât let her heartfelt tribute go unnoticed.
âI admire your openness. I wish you freedom and peace. I feel blessed to have such a gifted admirer,â he tweeted at her on Sunday.
âI read your lovely mention of me and things Iâve said about depression. A brilliant teacher and friend, Jeff Foster was OG on the 'Deep Rest' concept," he wrote, before wishing her a âHappy Easter!â
The next day, Grande back: âI canât process this or breathe hold on.â In she added,â "thank u so much for your kindness. i donât think u understand how much i adore u or what u mean to me.â
The pop star thanked Carrey for taking the time to respond and called him âsuch an inspiration." Grande added that she "canât wait to tattoo this tweet to my forehead."
