Actor Jim Carrey said Sunday that his own management team warned him against talking about politics on social media, saying that he could lose half of his audience.

“It was interesting, because when I first starting playing on Twitter like everyone else, I got in trouble because I was honest,” Carrey said while speaking during a Vulture Festival panel.

“A terrible thing to be on Twitter! It was a little scary, and I became an activist when it comes to this political stuff. There was a lot of pressure on me from my management going like, 'don’t mess this up, you got it going good and people love you, when you talk about politics and other issues, you’re going to lose half of your audience.' And I said, ‘lose them.’ "

Carrey continued that he's felt he's had to go his own way and say his "peace and truth."

Though he did note that he's given his Twitter account to one of his assistants to avoid tweeting something rash, according to Vulture.
