These How the Grinch Stole Christmas Secrets Are Pure Whobilation

It
Was
No
Picnic
for
Me
Either,
Pal

At
the
time,
Hiro
said
all
was
well
that
ended
well.

“About
two
months
after
the
filming
was
completed,
Jim
and
I
talked
again,”
he
told
the

Times. “He
said
he
admired
me,
and
told
me
I
did
a
great
job
and
said
thanks.
I
thanked
him
too,
because
he
went
through
that
whole
thing.
I
think

How
the
Grinch
Stole
Christmas
was
the
hardest
film
I’ve
ever
worked
on.
It
is
a
good
memory,
but
if
we
had
to
do
that
again…we
won’t
do
it!”

As
it
turned
out,
Hiro—who’s
won
two
Oscars
since,
for
2017’s Darkest

Hour
and
2019’s

Bombshell—started
therapy
after
his
experience
on HTGSC.

It
got
bad
enough,
Hiro

told
Vulture
in
2018,
that
a
producer
suggested
he
leave
to
show
Carrey
how
essential
he
was
to
the
production.
(The
film’s
makeup
department
was

huge,
but
among
the
credits
Hiro
is
the
only
one
dedicated
to
the
Grinch.)

He
didn’t
answer
when
Carrey
called
after
a
week,
Hiro
said,
but
Howard
assured
him
the
actor
had
sworn
to
change
his
ways.

While
his
friends
encouraged
him
to
ask
for
a
big
raise,
the
Kyoto-born
artist
continued,
he
decided
he’d
ask
the
studio
for
help
getting
a
green
card
instead.
