In a moment full of nostalgia, Carrey acknowledged their long separation, noting they hadn’t seen each other since filming concluded. For Momsen, reconnecting with the actor was a surreal experience, encapsulated in their brief but meaningful interactions.
From Acting to Music

This evolution highlights her growth as an artist, all while cherishing the moments shared with Carrey during their time together on set.
