Tommy Lee Jones Allegedly ResentedBatman ForeverCostar Jim Carrey
Carrey couldn’t count his fellow actor among his fans when they shot the 1995 superhero movie. “I was the star, and that was the problem,” he revealed onNorm MacDonald Live.
“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,” Carrey recalled about one incident. “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 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.'”

The dynamic even influenced the decision to cast McAdams as Regina George. “When Lindsay was acting with Rachel, she got very shy, because Rachel was older and a very accomplished actress,“he toldVulture. “She’d come in the room and not talk to Lindsay — she was very focused. Lindsay kind of got nervous around her, and I thought that, more than anything, was going to be the deciding factor, the fact that she affected Lindsay in that way.”

Really not,” Cassavetes said. “And Ryan came to me, and there’s 150 people standing in this big scene, and he says, ‘Nick come here.’ He’s doing a scene with Rachel and he says, ‘Would you take her out of here and bring in another actress to read off camera with me?’ I said, ‘What?’ He says, ‘I can’t.
