Jim Carrey brought Harry and Lloyd of Dumb and Dumberback together to the delight of one and all. The Dumb and Dumber actor Jeff Daniels was at Conan O’Brien’s show for a promotional interview for his film The Looming Tower, when Jim Carrey dropped in and surprised his co-star from Dumb and Dumber. Jeff seemed really delighted on reuniting and Jim being himself cracked up everyone.
Jeff was talking about working with Jim in the 1994 comedy Dumb and Dumber, saying, “I was making a comedy with Jim Carrey, that’s what I knew, comedic genius. We knew 14-year-old boys would love it.”
It was at this moment that Jim Carrey entered, saying,“I wanted to say it in front of the world, You’re in town… and you don’t call me?”
The actors looked beaming on meeting each other. “Shooting Dumb and Dumber with Jim, you grab on to the tornado that is Jim Carrey, and you hang on, and it was such a joy,” said Daniels.
Directed by the Farrelly brothers, Dumb and Dumber was released in 1994, featuring Daniels and Carrey as two equally dim-witted friends. Though the film did not rise to become one of the best films, gradually it evolved as a classic.
Carrey gave his full speech in French and mixed jokes with emotional words about his life and career. The honorary César award praised his long journey in films, from big comedy hits to serious, award-winning performances.
