And for more from Batman Forever, read Heat Vision‘s oral history from 2015, which explains how hesitant Jones was about taking the part. Hear Carrey’s story about Jones at the 1:08:30 mark. “He might have been uncomfortable doing that work, too,” he said.
Macdonald said Jones’ ire likely came from Carrey, who had risen quickly to become a huge star, being the center of attention no matter the room he entered. And he said, ‘I cannot sanction your buffoonery.'” I really don’t like you.’ And I said, ‘What’s the problem?’ and pulled up a chair, which probably wasn’t smart. And he went to hug me and he said, ‘I hate you. “And he got up shaking - he must have been in mid kill me fantasy or something like that. He’s over in the corner having dinner.’ I went over and I said, ‘Hey Tommy, how are you doing?’ and the blood just drained from his face,” Carrey said. “The maitre said, ‘Oh, I hear you’re working with Tommy Lee Jones. If Jones couldn't tolerate such "buffoonery" on one movie, you can bet he wouldn't be thrilled about having to go through that a second time.The situation came to a head in the middle of production, before the two had their “biggest scene together” on the Joel Schumacher film, when Carrey randomly popped into the same restaurant that Jones was having dinner, he told Macdonald. The two actors haven't worked together since, and even with their bodies of work usually being vastly different, as Jim Carrey pointed out, I can't help wondering if there's been a time where Tommy Lee Jones avoided a project simply because there was a possibility Carrey could be involved with it. He might have been uncomfortable doing that work, too. But Carrey had a different take on Jones' grumpy demeanor, saying: After all, Batman Forever was in principal photography months after Carrey became a comedy movie star thanks to Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and The Mask. After Carrey recalled this encounter during his recent appearance on Norm MacDonald Live, the show's eponymous host posited that Jones might have been jealous that Carrey was the center of attention on set. Tommy Lee Jones bluntly summarizing his hatred for Jim Carrey in such an archaic fashion is weird enough, but what's even stranger is that Jones expressed disapproval of Carrey's antics before they were going to shoot the biggest scene they had together in Batman Forever. And he said, 'I cannot sanction your buffoonery.' I really don't like you.' And I said, 'What's the problem?' and pulled up a chair, which probably wasn't smart.
