Jim Carrey is one of the biggest stars of the Hollywood industry, who is loved by the audience for his knack for comedy
The actor gained stardom at a young age with movies like The Mask, Dumb and Dumber, Liar Liar, and more. He also gained fame in the comic book movies universe with the role of the main villain, Riddler in Batman Forever. The comic star has won numerous accolades for his comic talent and method of acting. However, one Marvel star was appalled by his method acting and called it crazy.
Martin Freeman worked with Jim Carrey in a film, and he was stunned by the method of acting of the star. He called Carrey’s method acting, deranged and narcissistic.
Martin Freeman shared his disagreement with Jim Carrey’s method of acting
The Hobbit star worked with the legendary actor Jim Carrey in the film Man on the Moon. The film was a biopic of the late American entertainer Andy Kaufman, and Jim Carrey starred as Kaufman. During the shoot, Freeman witnessed Carrey transform into Andy Kaufman. However, he was not impressed by the method of acting of The Truman Show star during the shoot. He also called out the actor for his inappropriate behavior.

Martin Freeman shared on the Off Menu podcast,
“For me and I’m sure, genuinely sure Jim Carrey is a lovely and smart person, but it was the most self-aggrandizing selfish, f***ing narcissistic, bollocks I’ve ever seen. And the idea that anything in our culture would celebrate that or support it is deranged. I mean, literally deranged?”

Freeman added that he did not resonate with the concept of method acting and Carrey’s behavior proved his point, about the flaw in the art form.
Secret Invasion star added,
“You’re not supposed to become the f***ing character. Because you’re supposed to be open to stuff that happens in real life, you know, because somehow at some point, someone’s gonna say cut.”
Freeman also said,
“And it’s no good going, what does cut mean? Because I’m Napoleon. It’s like, shut up man. You know, you need to keep grounded, I think, in reality, and that’s not to say that you don’t lose yourself for the time between action and cut, but I think the rest of it is absolute pretentious, nonsense.”
Jim Carrey was personally affected by his character
Carrey shared that his behavior on the sets of Man on the Moon was very distasteful, and people would not like it. He added that the film studies believed that if the footage was out, it would have ruined his image.
Jim Carrey shared,
“Universal didn’t want the footage we took behind the scenes to surface so that people wouldn’t think I was an a**hole. I was thinking, how far should I take this? How far would Andy take it?”

He added, “When the movie was over, I couldn’t remember who I was anymore.”
The Mask star shared that he took method acting too far which led to a bit of identity crisis after the movie ended.
