The Mask fame Jim Carrey recalls his terrifying experience while in Hawaii during the false missile alarm two years ago. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jim joined The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon where he shared that the cover of his book represented his face "after being told that I have ten minutes to live." The Bruce Almighty star went on to explain that two years ago he was in Hawaii with his daughter while writing when his assistant called him crying to inform him about the missile believed to be headed toward the island and that they had ten minutes left. He told Fallon, "My brain started winding." After unable to get off the island with his daughter, Carrey recalled thinking "I don't want to die in my car." Jim further said that he could not stop thinking about wonderful things that have happened to him and he finally got to a point of grace with two minutes to spare when he learned the missile was a false alarm. With people left in fear, a second alert was sent clarifying that the original warning was sent in error because an employee pressed the wrong button.
