Jim Carrey Is Being Called 'Creepy' For Saying Female Reporter Is Last Thing Left To Do On His Bucket List
The 58-year-old comedian sat down with "Heat" magazine's Charlotte Long for an interview about the new movie, his career and his outstanding "bucket list" items.

Seem innocent enough, right?
However, things take an uncomfy turn when Charlotte asks about Jim's bucket list.

WHICH AGAIN, IS A VERY INNOCENT TOPIC.
Charlotte asks: "I know in your film, Sonic has a bucket list, and I was wondering after all you’ve done in your career and your life, is there anything still left on your bucket list?"

Jim quickly replies back: "Just you."
He continues after a few seconds, "That’s it. It’s all done now."

Charlotte seems taken aback and laughs uncomfortably and replies that she doesn't know what to say to that.
Jim's response? "Just own it."

"Okay, I'm owning it now," she replies.
Twitter was quick to point out that this was an INSANELY inappropriate thing to say to Charlotte at her job, on top of being CREEPY A.F.
One user called his behaviour "textbook" sexual harassment.
"This cringe pickup line brought to you by every sleezeball in a bar hitting on the waitress because she was nice to him only as part of her job and he’s so full of himself that he thinks she totally wants him," wrote Kimberly Corban on Twitter.
Some people thought Jim meant the interview, not Charlotte specifically.
However, it's clear he could have just said the interview and not "you."
Many women were sharing their own experiences of dealing with a similar situation.
I think it's safe to say that even if Jim didn't mean it that way, he should still apologize as Charlotte looked visibly uncomfy.
Watch the clip for yourself down below:
Charlotte Long has yet to comment on the situation.
