Hollywood funnyman Jim Carrey turned on London's biggest-ever coordinated Christmas lights switch-on themed after Disney's upcoming A Christmas Carol .
Jim Carrey turned on Oxford Circus' emblematic lights simultaneously joined by his fellow co-stars Colin Firth and Bob Hoskins who did the honours at the nearby Regent Street and St Paul's Cathedral respectively.
The 47-year-old actor who voices Scrooge in Disney's animated version of the classic Charles Dickens tale celebrated London's Christmas spirit as he switched on the Oxford Circus lights.
He said:" I want to thank the people of Britain for the legacy of Charles Dickens and the chance to tell this story. It feels great to be a part of all this tradition."
Asked about London's decorations Colin Firth, who voices Scrooge's enthusiastic nephew, said: "Well I think it's all a bit tacky and over the top quite frankly but why not?
"That's what Christmas is all about."
The film stars later attended A Christmas Carol world premiere at Leicester Square breaking the Guinness record for the largest 3-D film premiere.
