breakingnews.ie:

Jim Carrey has recalled the terrifying experience of believing he had 10 minutes to live after a missile alert was mistakenly broadcast in Hawaii.

The actor was on the island state in 2018 when an alert was broadcast warning of an imminent ballistic missile. Carrey revealed his assistant told him the news, leading him to say his goodbyes to loved ones before staring off into the Pacific Ocean for what he thought were his last moments of life.

He appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to promote his book Memoirs And Misinformation and told the host the cover is a picture of his face during the panic-stricken 10 minutes.
