Tommy Lee Jones Told This Co-Star He 'Hated' Him to His Face

Carrey says Jones told him directly that he hated him.
During a 2017 appearance on Norm Macdonald Live, Carrey talked about working with Jones. He said that Jones' dislike of him was made very clear when Carrey approached the actor at a restaurant where they were both dining.
"The maitre d' said, 'Oh, I hear you're working with Tommy Lee Jones. He's over in the corner having dinner,'" Carrey told host Norm Macdonald. "I went over and I said, 'Hey Tommy, how are you doing?' and the blood just drained from his face … And he started shaking and he got up—he must have been in mid-kill-me fantasy or something like that."
Carrey continued, "And he went to hug me and he said, 'I hate you. I really don't like you.' And I said, 'Gee, man, what's the problem?' and I pulled up a chair, which probably wasn't smart. And he said, 'I cannot sanction your buffoonery.'"
