Martin Freeman slams Jim Carrey's 'Man on the Moon' method performance as 'narcissistic,’ ‘literally deranged’

The “Cargo” performer made his opinion known during an appearance on the “Off Menu” podcast, explaining that Carrey’s method acting and embodiment of the late Andy Kauffman in the 1999 flick was a bit over the top, to say the least.

"For me, and I’m genuinely sure Jim Carrey is a lovely and smart person, but it was the most self-aggrandizing, selfish, f--king narcissistic b--locks I have ever seen," Freeman said. "The idea anything in our culture would celebrate that or support it is deranged, literally deranged." Added Freeman: "I am a very lapsed catholic but if you believe in transubstantiation, then you’re going somewhere along the line of ‘I became the character,’ No, you didn’t, you’re not supposed to become the f--king character because you’re supposed to be open to stuff that happens in real life because someone at some stage is going to say ‘Cut’ and there’s no point going, ‘What does ‘cut’ mean because I’m Napoleon?’ Shut up." A 2017 Netflix documentary titled, "Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond" covered how far Carrey, 59, would go to remain in character of the late comedian and Freeman said he took umbrage with some of Carrey's behavior on set, explaining that the "Liar Liar" star did things that would have gotten most others fired for their conduct.
