Funny man Jim Carey is anything but slouching for his role in the movie Three Stooges gaining 50 pounds for his part of "Curly" in the nostalgic television kick-back.

Girlfriend Jenny McCarthy said Carrey isn't depressed by his weight gain, rather enjoying it.

"He's just having so much fun with it," she said as she chatted with Ellen Degeneres on her show.

"I have no idea what it's going to be like when he hits near 300 pounds. But, you know, he's in his comedy. He works hard at it."

As for McCarthy, it's not all business.

The blondie told Access Hollywood's Billy Bush that she was looking forward to "dating Curly."

She said of her boyfriend's belly explosion, "Oh my God! I get to be dating Curly! That is the greatest thing ever."

The movie is expected to hit the big screen in 2010.
