How Jim Carrey film The Truman show helped fuel a psychiatric delusion

June 5, 2023
The Truman Show, released 25 years ago today, starred Jim Carrey as the eponymous Truman Burbank, whose entire life was a fiction designed to entertain millions around the world. The film, which was directed by Peter Weir and written by Andrew Niccol, grossed more than $264million worldwide and garnered three Academy Award nominations for best supporting actor, original screenplay and director. But it also ended up giving its name to a psychological delusion, where patients - of whom there have been hundreds - believe they, like Truman, are the subjects of a TV show. One sufferer killed his father and sister in the belief they were broadcasting his life to the world as part of a game show, another allegedly assaulted a toddler and his mother while thinking he 'had to get out of the Truman Show'. Inset: Truman Burbank with his wife Meryl, played by Laura Linney.
