Jim Carrey reveals A-list co-star he had secret feud with who branded him ‘buffoon’

Jim Carrey, the star of films such as Dumb and Dumber, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and The Truman Show, has opened up about a ‘feud’ with an A-list co-star who labelled him a ‘buffoon’.

The 63 year old comedian, who also played DC Comics villain The Riddler in 1995’s Batman Forever, once revealed that a fellow actor was not a fan of his.

Speaking on the Norm Macdonald Live show in 2017, he recalled an encounter with Tommy Lee Jones at a restaurant. Jones, the Oscar-winning actor who also starred in Batman Forever as Two-Face, had a less than pleasant reaction when Jim approached him.

“I went over, and I said, ‘Hey Tommy, how are you doing? ’ and the blood just drained from his face, and he got up shaking – he must have been in mid-kill-me fantasy or something like that. “

shared Jim. He continued, “He went to hug me, and he said, ‘I hate you. I really don’t like you’. And I said, ‘What’s the problem? ‘ and pulled up a chair, which probably wasn’t smart. “

Jones then told him: “I cannot sanction your buffoonery”.

According to Ladbible, this incident happened a day before they shot a crucial scene for the film. Reflecting on the situation during the Norm Macdonald Live chat, Jim speculated: “I was the star and that was the problem. He’s a phenomenal actor, though. I still love him. “

Jim’s recent work includes playing villain Dr Robotnik in Sonic. Despite previously hinting at retirement, Carrey is set to reprise his role in the upcoming 2024 film, Sonic the Hedgehog 3. In a chat with Variety, he explained why he decided to continue playing the character.

In 2022, Carrey shared he “had enough” and would hang up his hat for good. His decision came shortly after the release of Sonic the Hedgehog 2. But he was back on our screens just two years later in Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Speaking to AP Entertainment, Carrey said: “I came back to this universe because I get to play a genius, which is a bit of a stretch. And you know, I bought a lot of stuff and I need the money, frankly. “

He confessed: “I came back to this universe because I get to play a genius, which is a bit of a stretch. And you know, I bought a lot of stuff and I need the money, frankly. “

Carrey had previously said the only role to get him out of retirement would be one “written in gold ink that says to me that it’s going to be really important for people to see”. While the Ace Venture and The Mask star may see his comments as “hyperbole,” others were left claiming his performance as Dr Robotnik was as memorable as his best works.
