He is known for his outrageous characters and slap-stick humour. But actor Jim Carrey is going to get a reputation as a bit of a ladies’ man.

The 48-year old Ace Ventura star was relaxing at a friend’s beach house in Malibu yesterday and couldn’t help but see what the shoreline had to offer in the way of eye candy.
