# Celebrity Mankinis Jim Carrey in Jenny McCarthy's Bikini By Ayman | Published 2008-07-05 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jim-carrey-mankini References: [fadedyouthblog](http://www.fadedyouthblog.com/38110/very-nice-jim/) It seems that Jim Carrey couldn't wait to get his hands on Alexander McQueen's recently unveiled [mankini](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alexander-mcqueen-mankini), so he borrowed his own girlfriend's bikini. On the Fourth of July, Carrey strolled on [Malibu beach](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tom-daley-and-malibu) with his girlfriend Jenny McCarthy while wearing her [black one piece swimming suit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloud-cups). I think Carrey held his own in the bikini, which is much cuter than Borat's, but I'd personally go for McQueen's if I had to make a choice.
