Leave it to Canadian funnyman Jim Carrey to spice up a graduation ceremony.
Carrey received an honourary degree from Iowa's Maharishi University of Management this past weekend, and in his classic style delivered a speech that combined his trademark humour and sincerity. The audience is pleased, as you can see in the video (above).
"I am here to plant a seed today, a seed that will inspire you to move forward in life with enthusiasm of hearts and a clear sense of wholeness," said Carrey. "The question is, will that seed have a chance to take root or will I be sued by Monsanto?"
Carrey was famously close to his late father, Percy Carrey, whom the actor frequently refers to. The family actually lived out of a van in the Toronto area at one point after Percy lost his job.
"I learned many great lessons from my father, not the least of which was that you could fail at what you don't love, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love."
Carrey joins a long line of celebrities who've recently made commencement speeches.
