Comedian Jim Carrey is single but he hasn't given up looking for true love. The 56-year-old actor said that he likes to keep to himself in a new interview. Carrey said: "You could describe my home life as an isolated life. I spend a lot of time by myself but I like being by myself, so it’s OK. That might be strange to some people, but I enjoy it." In spite of enjoying his alone time, Carrey did admit that he still like going on dates.

According to Daily Mail, Carrey said to Radio Times while talking about his free time: "I love to read and I enjoy painting and working on sculptures. And I date." Carrey was married to actress Melissa Womer from 1987 to 1995. They both welcomed Carrey's only child, Jane, back in September 1987. Jane competed in American Idol's 2012 season.
