Jones was born in San Saba, Texas, on September 15, 1946. His father, Clyde C. Jones, was a rancher and an oil field worker, while his mother, Lucille Marie , was a police officer, educator, and owner of a beauty parlor.
The two were married twice before divorcing. He has claimed to be partially Cherokee. Tommy was born and raised in Midland, Texas, where he also went to what was then known as Robert E. Lee High School.
Why did Tommy Lee Jones and Jim Carrey not get along?
The Texas native believed that Carrey’s portrayal of Edward Nygma, commonly known as the Riddler, stole some of his thunder.
Additionally, Carrey had already seen some success with his earlier films, such as Dumb and Dumber, The Mask, and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, so bringing in a performer at the height of his career was certainly going to take Jones’ shine.
Jim Carrey and Tommy Lee Jones have avoided working together since filming Batman Forever all those years ago.
