Just days after being slammed for implying that Margot Robbie has a successful career in Hollywood only because of her looks, Jim Carrey has done it again. He is once again the subject of everyone’s ire and has been dubbed a “sleazebag” after he told a female journalist that she is the only thing left to do on his bucket list.

Jim Carrey, 58, made the inappropriate comment during a promotional junket for "Sonic the Hedgehog," where he asked by Heat Magazine journalist Charlotte Long if he still had any goals to accomplish and whether there was anything left on his bucket list of things to do. And his response was, “Just you.”

The video clip of the interview has triggered a massive reaction amongst viewers as even fans of the actor found his comments to be in poor taste. Many commended Long’s professionalism when she didn’t let his comments interrupt the flow of the interview. The Heat Magazine reporter laughed and said “I don't know what to say to that,” to which Jim replied: “Just own it.”

People have severely condemned Carrey’s comment, with some calling him a “Creep" and “Sleazeball” while adding they have “lost respect” for the “Grinch” actor.

“You’re a pro my dear. such a CREEP!” one of the comments read while another wrote: “Look up ‘sleazeball’ in the dictionary and there’s a photo.” One user wrote: “Such a huge fan of @JimCarrey but lost respect for him today. This is really unacceptable, I wish and hope he apologizes to you.”

Just days before Jim Carrey had commented that Margot Robbie is successful because of her looks

Jim Carrey and Margot Robbie, who is a two-time Oscar nominee had appeared on a recent edition of The Graham Norton Show, where he chatted with Margot, saying how he finds it “incredible that you’ve got as far as you have with your obvious physical disadvantages.”

“It’s unbelievable, it’s really something. That's pure talent right there!” he added. Just like the Heat magazine journalist, Margot took the joke in good humor and laughed at his comments. But viewers were not that cool with his rude comments and took to Twitter to share their disdain “That joke Jim Carrey make towards Margot Robbie about her looks and talent was so awkward. Kudos to her for just laughing and taking it on the chin, I'd have slapped him,” one wrote.
