This one is just strange. While filming Batman Forever, things got testy between Carrey and Tommy Lee Jones, who respectively portrayed the film's villains, the Riddler and Two-Face.
"I was the star, and that was the problem," Carrey said on Norm MacDonald Live in 2017, while recalling an incident in which he saw Jones at a restaurant while the two were in the middle of filming the superhero flick. "I went over and said, 'Hey, Tommy, how you doing?' And the blood just drained from his face like he had been thinking about me 24 hours a day. It was before the biggest scene we have together in the movie."
"He started shaking and he got up and...he must have been in mid-kill-me fantasy or something," the comedian continued. "He went to hug me and said, 'I hate you. I really don't like you.' I said, 'Gee man, what's the problem?' I pulled up a chair, which probably wasn't smart. And he said, 'I cannot sanction your buffoonery.'"
Yikes! On a positive note, their on-set feud didn't deter from Carrey's admiration for Jones. As he told Howard Stern in 2014, he was "really looking forward to working with Tommy, because he's a fantastic actor, and he still is" (via Looper).
