Carrey blasts 'jerk' Cruise, 'problem' Jolie

Jim Carrey has criticised actors Tom Cruise and Angelina Jolie in a television interview.

The Christmas Carol star, who appeared on US talkshow Chelsea Lately, called the Hollywood celebrities "spoiled brats".

Carrey said: "Tom Cruise - let me see - one of the hardest working people I've ever seen and, like, a total gentleman and *******. What a jerk!"

The 47-year-old comedian continued: "Well you really can't say anything about Brad Pitt. Angelina Jolie? Oh yeah, so she's the problem for sure, we're okay with him, seriously, because he can do no wrong."

A Christmas Carol is in cinemas now.
