Jim Carrey hasn't lost a single ounce of humor with age.

The two-time Golden Globe winner rang in his milestone 60th birthday Monday with a hilarious video befitting the beloved comedian and actor's decades-spanning career. "It's ma birthday! Whoohoo! I'm old but I'm gold! I Love you all!!!" Carrey wrote on Twitter.

In the video, Carrey put on an old man voice as he said into the camera: "I'm 60 and sexy! And tonight, I'm having creamed corn and strained peaches."

Carrey previously opened up about why he's retreated from the spotlight in recent years, as well as taking up painting as another creative outlet. "I just didn't want to be in the business anymore," he told The Hollywood Reporter in 2018.

"I didn't like what was happening, the corporations taking over and all that. And maybe it's because I felt pulled toward a different type of creative outlet and I really liked the control of painting — of not having a committee in the way telling me what the idea must be to appeal to a four-quadrant whatever."
