Eternal funny man and rubber-faced buffoon Jim Carrey is celebrating the birth of his first grandson. His daughter Jane, 22, gave birth to a 7lbs 11oz (crimety) baby boy on Friday in Los Angeles. She and husband Alex Santana have named him Jackson Riley Santana. Aw.

Carrey was understandably ecstatic about the birth, and couldn’t wait to tweet to his loyal followers:

“My Grandson, Born today! This is what 7lbs.11oz. of Calfornia dynomite looks like!”

Considering Carrey is currently publicising his new film I Love You Philip Morris, there’s a lot of love about for the Ace Ventura star at the moment. We won’t get to see the film here until the summer, but for now, here’s a wee trailer for your viewing pleasures. Congrats Jim!
