It’s hard to imagine anyone not liking Jim Carrey, the beloved actor known for his comedic genius and versatility. However, it seems that not everyone shares the same admiration for Carrey, as evidenced by a surprising revelation from his past.
During the filming of the 1995 movie Batman Forever, Carrey and his co-star Tommy Lee Jones reportedly had a tense encounter. According to Carrey, Jones expressed his disdain for him just before they were about to film their biggest scene together.
The incident occurred when Carrey approached Jones at a restaurant, and Jones’s demeanor suddenly changed. He stood up, shook Carrey’s hand, and bluntly stated, “I hate you. I really don’t like you.” Carrey, taken aback by Jones’s outburst, asked him what the problem was.
Jones’s response was cryptic, saying that he couldn’t “sanction” Carrey’s “buffoonery.” Carrey has since speculated that Jones may not have been comfortable with the film’s tone and style, which was quite different from Jones’s usual dramatic roles.
Despite their on-set tension, Carrey has expressed admiration for Jones’s acting abilities and has even stated that he still “loves” him. Jones, on the other hand, has spoken highly of the film’s director, Joel Schumacher, and has praised the movie’s technological advancements.
Although their working relationship was complicated, Jones has hinted that he might have been willing to return for another Batman film, despite his reservations about working with Carrey again.
