In the ~100 hours of footage, you can see videos and interviews of Carrey’s preparation for the role. He went to great lengths to get in character and stay in character. Some instances include:
- Having everyone call him Andy while on set
- Staying in character during a two hour long call about How the Grinch Stole Christmas
During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Jim Carrey claims, “I don’t feel like I made the film at all. I feel like Andy made the film.”
