In a new interview with Norm Macdonald, Carrey elaborates further.
I was the star, and that was the problem, Carrey said onNorm Macdonald Live.
Phenomenal actor, though.
As Carrey explained, he met Jones at a restaurant before they worked on the film together.
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.
The blood just drained from his face.
He started shaking and he got up and … he must have been in mid-kill-me fantasy or something.
He went to hug me and said, I hate you.
I really dont like you.
I said, Gee man, whats the problem?
I pulled up a chair, which probably wasnt smart.
And he said, I cannot sanction your buffoonery.'
Carrey added that Jones maybe wasnt comfortable with the comic-book material.

This isnt the first time Carrey has recalled the Jones anecdote.
