Jim Carrey was paid $7 million for the original Dumb and Dumber, while his co-star Jeff Daniels — who shared top billing! — made just $50,000. Carrey wasn’t a big star when Dumb and Dumber went into production in 1994 and the comedy’s total budget was just $16 million — so how did he walk away with so much? “They offered him $350,000 to do the movie and he passed,” explains Peter Farrelly.
Yeah, Jeff Daniels is a fantastic actor, his name would absolutely get my attention when considering what to watch.
Alright buddy, I’m a Jeff fan but ain’t nobody running to the theater to see Jeff 😂
Which is fine, everyone has their niche, not everyone can be Keanu Reeves
