Jim Carrey's daughter calls 2005 film scene brutal

Jim Carrey, famed for physical comedy, filmed a 2005 remake of the 1977 comedy "Dick and Jane" with co‑star Téa Leoni. In a scene the character Dick Harper dresses in women's clothing for a robbery, Carrey appears in a glittery dress and high heels.

Carrey's teenage daughter Jane, who was visiting the set that day, said the sight was "the ugliest woman I've ever seen" and wanted to leave the set immediately, describing the moment as "brutal" and potentially traumatic. Carrey recalled her reaction, noting she said, "Dad, you’re the ugliest woman I’ve ever seen," and that she left early to avoid lasting distress. The film achieved modest box‑office results but did not match Carrey's biggest hits.

The anecdote was reported in Macedonian and Croatian media, highlighting the personal impact of Carrey's slapstick style on his own family.
