Jim Carrey went on The Howard Stern Show yesterday to promote Dumb And Dumber To and relay odd stories about seeing things in the desert and method acting as Andy Kaufman. But more importantly, he directly addressed some old rumors about tension between him and Tommy Lee Jones when they played The Riddler and Two-Face in Joel Schumacher’s Batman Forever.

The film came out in 1995, just one year after Carrey accomplished something that may never be repeated. The year before, Dumb And Dumber had grossed $16M in its opening weekend and $247M during its theatrical run. The movie opened against Cobb starring Tommy Lee Jones as the titular absurdly-racist, cantankerous, impotent Georgia Peach, a movie which pulled in less than $64,000 its opening weekend and grossed under a million in theaters. The box-office competition may have set a sour tone for what came next.

Carrey explains his first meeting with Jones at the 55-minute mark in the video above. Here’s the interesting bit, partially transcribed by Fashionstyle with corrections and additions made by us.
