Jerry Lewis: Wealthy Famous Genius

Posted by admin on Sunday, August 20, 2017

Jerry Lewis Money Quote saying the negative digs others have said about him to get a laugh and deflect further criticism – or maybe he agrees with them that he’s a smart, wealthy guy. Jerry Lewis said:
 

 

“People hate me because I am a multifaceted, talented, wealthy, internationally famous genius” — Jerry Lewis

 

 

In this quote, Jerry Lewis appears to be joking or being sarcastic about how some people perceive him. While he lists many admirable traits like being talented, wealthy and famous, adding that he is a “genius” seems exaggerated for comedic effect.

Lewis seems to be poking fun at the idea that some hold an inflated view of himself, seeing him as an overachieving Renaissance man. His tone suggests that while success brought haters, the quote lists accomplishments in an intentionally boastful way meant to get a laugh rather than a sincere assessment.

The quote reflects Lewis’ self-deprecating humor and shows he was aware of both his accomplishments and reputation as an acquired taste not beloved by all. Overall the tone seems lighthearted rather than a serious claim of why others may have disliked him.

Birthday: March 16, 1926 – Death: August 20, 2017
