Jim Carrey's Scrooge Is His Dad's Lookalike

JIM CARREY has been given a glimpse into the future after movie illustrators added years to his looks for his animated character in new movie A CHRISTMAS CAROL.

The Mask star, 47, voices Scrooge in the animated retelling of the classic Charles Dickens tale, and producers based the features of the character on the actor himself.

But the similarities between Carrey's movie Scrooge and his dad Percy's real-life looks are so uncanny, he's convinced his family will be spooked.

He says, "That's the weird part - my family hasn't seen this movie yet. They're going to freak out because I look so much like my father, it's frightening. It's kind of a glimpse into the future for me, of what I'm gonna be like when I'm old."
