Jim Carrey's worst fear

Comic actor Jim Carrey says he feared his relationship with Jenny McCarthy was over when she stayed away from him to take care of her autistic son Evan.

According to contactmusic.com, Carrey didn't know that McCarthy was facing problems while trying to balance her relationship with him and taking care of her son. And when she "disappeared", he feared the worst.

He said: "She kind of disappeared from my life for a little while and she called me up and said, 'Here's the deal'." They managed to work out their problems and now they can't imagine their lives without each other. McCarthy said: "Jim also really helped me release some emotion that I was carrying. At first, he kept saying, 'You look really angry'."

Carrey added: "I call it a nervous breakthrough... I think people have ways of hiding their emotions; people think their emotions are ugly. But when she finally broke down... I don't think she had ever done that in her entire life. Her therapist said there was anger there because she felt guilty for giving her son autism... To feel that guilt is the beginning of a healing process."
