Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor were made Chevalier Des Arts Et Des Lettres by the Minister Culture Frederic Mitterrand at the Ministry of Culture in Paris, France today (February 1).

“I love you Jim Carrey! I love you Ewan McGregor!” Mr. Mitterrand proclaimed in reference to I Love You Phillip Morris, the film produced by Luc Besson and in which they play the vicissitudes of a couple of men who fall in love in prison.

“I am especially proud that I am both an American and Canadian citizen, my roots are French,” said Jim during his thank-you speech, recalling that his family had left St. Malo 200 years ago for Canada.

For his part, Ewan said: “Receiving this distinction in France, the land of my summer holidays when I was a kid, where I met my wife (Eve Mavrakis) and the region of Franche-Comte, fills my heart with joy.”

The pair were so overcome with the honor that they instantly broke into a French kiss before addressing the press. Yay..or Nay…?
