Schumacher mused that Jones was irritated by Carrey because of his extremely extroverted personality.
"Tommy is," he remembered. "And I say this with great respect, a scene stealer. Well, you can't steal the scene from Jim Carrey. It's impossible. And, I think it irked Tommy."
He clarified that Jones didn't try to steal any scenes from Carrey, but was "not kind" to Carrey.
He said: "He did not act towards Jim the way an Oscar winner with a star on Hollywood Boulevard - being the oldest member of the cast, and having such a distinguished career and the accolades to go with it - should have acted towards Jim. But what happens on the set stays on the set."
