Jim Carrey told a reporter she was the only thing left to do on his bucket list.

In an interview ahead of Carrey's new animated movie, "Sonic the Hedgehog," Charlotte Long of the UK's Heat magazine asked the comedian: "In the film, Sonic has a bucket list. I was wondering, after all you've done in your career and in your life, is there anything still left on your bucket list?"

Carrey responded: "Just you. That's it. It's all done now."

"Wow. I don't know what to say to that," Long replied, visibly taken aback.

"Just own it," Carrey said, laughing, to which Long responded, "OK, I'm owning it now."

While the pair laughed the question off, Carrey was called a "sleazebag" after Long posted the interview on Twitter.

Carrey was criticized weeks earlier, on February 2, for comments about Margot Robbie's looks on BBC's "The Graham Norton Show."

"You're really something, Margot Robbie," he said. "It's incredible you got as far as you have with your obvious physical disadvantages. That's pure talent there."

Heat magazine and representatives for Carrey did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Insider.
